The best Rave you will ever go to in your life

I love London, who doesn't??

There's the delicious food, a buzz, the crowds of quirky people, the amazing attractions & the nightlife...

However there is a nightlife that is often missed by tourists and people who don't know where to look... That is why this blog is here, to show you one of the most MAGICAL places that you will ever visit.

I daren't call it a club because it is so much more than that. It is a global dance rave called "Whirl-y-gig" held under London Bridge, once a month. The place always sells out and instantly fills up with the most amazing, friendly people you have ever met in your life. There are no fights, no arguments and no negative energy; it is a place where everyone is free to be who they want to be.

The entire area transforms into an eclectic explosion of colourful lights, sparkly fabrics and stalls where you can buy hippie treasures. They have fairies who face paint beautiful flowery designs for free.

Then comes the music, it is more than just music, it gets into your soul, your feet, hands, fingers all just move naturally. The beat goes on from 10pm until 7am and surprisingly most of the guests manage to last the night. Not only does the DJ Monkey Pilot bring out all the amazing global tunes, many guests bring their own instruments and therefore the dancefloor edges are crowded with the heavy beats of Bongo & Conga drums. When it gets to 6am, you don't even need to look at your watch to realise, because everyone slowly starts to sit down on the floor and lie across their friends. Once everyone is lying down, they shoot a huge parachute across the crowds, which is then waved above everyone's heads, (reminiscent of school years) with colourful lights & patterns bouncing all over it...

I have gathered a selection of my fav photos from my time going there, over the last 3-4 years, Enjoy!

Before we left, we all gathered at my friend's house.... The dress code is hippie & colourful, because it gets warm inside the venue, it's advisable to travel in different clothes & to change at the 'club'...

Off we went...

All I can say is you have to try it out. For me it's like coming home to a place where I feel so safe & happy.

Love,
