What's on in London tonight

Tonight means from now until 4am, London time. A drop that started at 6pm and is still going counts. So does a club night that starts at 11pm.

Each drop says how you get in. Walk-in is the easiest last-minute plan, because you just turn up. RSVP usually works on the day if there's room. Guestlist needs the organiser to say yes, so it's less likely at short notice. Tickets show the price and whether they've sold out.

• Early evening is openings, listening parties, talks and supper club second sittings. Most are free and finish by 10pm.
• After 10pm it's club nights and late bars. Earlier entry is often cheaper or free.
• If a drop is sealed, the address is sent to everyone on it at the reveal time, often late afternoon. Get on it and you'll have it in time.
• Fewer than you hoped on tonight? Look at this weekend and get on things early.

Daytime things show here too while they're still running. A sample sale that closes at 6pm, a market, a day party that winds down at 11pm. For the full week ahead, start at London.

On Friday and Saturday nights the Night Tube runs on parts of the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines. Every other night it's night buses. Check TfL before you go, especially if a sealed address lands somewhere you don't know.
