Hotels for Jungle

A midweek show built around the kind of dance-floor grooves that reward a live band as much as a DJ set. Expect deep basslines, live percussion and a crowd that came to move rather than stand and film. A 6.30pm start makes for an early doors, early finish night out, so there's time for a proper dinner beforehand and no need to rush for the last train home. Wednesday nights like this tend to draw a slightly older, less rowdy crowd than weekend gigs.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
