3. Back of the Bus at Lakota (14th)

With their mainroom featuring Oxide & Neutrino, Sweet Female Attitude and Buckfast Boys Club, their second space boasting Boomtown vibes with a dash of OAP decoration from Grandmas Living Room, and a mix of house, disco and techno from their third room, Back of the Bus will be anything but dull. Fully kitted out with a tent, bouncy castle and photobooth van, this will take you back to the cool kids playing walkmans while sitting on the backrow of the schoolbus.
