The best late night bars and clubs to visit once the Night Tube opens

It's 12:30am in central London.

The bar you nipped into "for a quick one" after work has just called for last orders. You're on the crest of a second wind and don't fancy heading home just yet. 

But where to go? 

With London embracing the Night Tube like the keen enthusiasm of a sweaty drunk, we've sought the knowledge of Columbus, the information and ticket platform, to help us track down the best late night venues of the capital that are just a 10 minute walk from the stops of the Night Tube.

Stick this list in your Bookmarks, dig it out after midnight and become a hero. Or just download the Columbus app. Either way, prepare yourself.
