JamieHP presents SBN / NBN
If Sundays in London have a main character, this is probably it. JamieHP’s
SBN has nailed that rare thing, a daytime party that actually feels like a full
night out. Doors open at
2pm, but don’t expect a
gentle warm-up. Within
the hour, the room is
already buzzing, and it
only builds from there.
By 5pm, when NBN
slides in, things properly
lift. The crowd swells,
the layers come off,
and suddenly you’re in
a room of 500+ guys
who clearly didn’t come
to take it easy. DJ Matt
Bogard keeps the
energy exactly where
it needs to be, high,
sweaty, and just the right side of chaotic.
It’s bold, social, and dangerously easy to lose an entire Sunday to.
SBN / NBN at Union, Every Sunday, 2pm–10pm
Address: Union, 66 Albert Embankment, London, SE1 7TP
Nearest Tube: Vauxhall

BUFF at MA1
Bunker
BUFF is one of MA1’s most
established nights, and it
delivers exactly what people
come for. Set inside the Bunker
on City Road, it runs on a clear
brief, sportswear, gym kit, jocks,
or less, and a crowd that’s fully
committed to the look and the
mood.
From 6pm, the space fills
quickly and the energy lifts
fast. There’s a constant flow
through the night, with plenty of
eye contact, easy interactions,
and that charged atmosphere
MA1 is known for. It’s social,
confident, and very clear in its
intent without needing to spell
anything out.
If you’re in the mood for
something a bit more direct, this
is where Sunday night goes.
BUFF at MA1 Bunker
Every Sunday, 6pm–10pm
Address: 217 City Road, London, EC1V 1JN
