Concealed in a particularly squalid and touristy corner of Piccadilly Circus is Rumba, the bar that has kept the UK's Urban scene alive in the West End since the early 1990s. Now under new management, Rumba's musical taste has moved on from its urban roots to a more 'now' sound. Gone are the drum 'n' bass and reggae nights in favour of large doses of commercial RnB, pop classics and funky house. If you can manage to stop shaking your booty for five minutes, there are great cocktails, like house specialties The Sangria del Rumba and Raspberry Rumba. The big boys come out on Friday and Saturday, and there are few major names in UK hip-hop who haven't played here, while live PAs from US stars are also a regular feature. In an area filled with cheap imitations, Rumba is the genuine article. Rumba events
