There are drop in jive classes at the Prince Regent, Herne Hill on a Monday night from 8pm. Friendly lot and no need to book a set of classes in advance, you can always drop in when you feel like it. At only a fiver a class it is a bargain. Same lot run a club night on the second Friday of each month at the Railway Tavern, Tulse Hill. The fun pub near the railway station in Tulse Hill. Night is free and starts at 8pm. Next club night is on the 8th of March.

Judging by Vogues' Best Summer Bars which is a national review of bars no less Tulse Hill and Peckham are the coolest areas in South London with the Railway Tavern in Tulse Hill and Frank's in Peckham being the hubs. http://www.vogue.co.uk/blogs/the-culture-edit/2012/05/best-summer-bars-london-and-uk I would also say West Norwood is starting to attract the more arty types too as places like Herne Hill and Dulwich become increasingly gentrified.

If you haven't already tried the Railway Tavern in Tulse Hill you should. It's a very cool pub only a station away from Dulwich. Diamond Jive Club is on tonight and we play the very best in retro tunes for your listening and dancing pleasure. Alternating between Swing, Jump Blues, Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly tunes with a new sound system and bigger dance floor this is one of the best retro nights in South East london. Night is free and starts 9pm. http://www.therailwaytulsehill.co.uk/

If you want to try some jive, we hold drop in jive Classes on Monday nights upstairs at the Prince Regent (which is opposite Brockwell Lido) in Herne Hill. Classes start at 8pm and go for an hour and a half and cost a fiver. We also hold free monthly clubs in South London where you can practice.
