Since the closure of clubland stalwarts The Cross, The Key, Canvas, Turnmills and The End, pessimists began to see London's glass as well and truly half empty. But the recent influx of clubs popping up south of the river - and in particular, like Cable, underneath the arches near London Bridge - shows that the glass is clearly more than half full, as a new generation of nightspots rises from the ashes. Located in the Bermondsey Street tunnel nearby London Bridge tube, the 1000-capacity Cable is spread over three archways (each with its own bar) and two dance floors (with a bespoke soundsystem by European sound specialists Nova). Just half an hour short of a full 24-hour licence, the club opens until 6am on Fridays and 8am on Saturdays. Cable's doors only opened in May 2009 but it has already built up quite a faithful following and a good set of residencies, including Bugged Out. Watch this space.
