Cargo reviews
Cargo is one of the best venues in London, hands down.
I've never noticed it to be male dominated at all but, saying that, I often find that the clubs where men hang around tend to have better quality music and more vibrant people. Cargo is awesome, simple as!
Brilliant music, nice and laid back. Drinks are a little on the expensive side but food is damn good and art outside is wicked. I go here with my female friends often and never feel intimidated.

by Anonymous, 01 Oct 2006I usually hate going down to East London (used to living in Richmond) but this place is truly an exception.
Sure the men can sometimes get too friendly and the ratio of male to female is probably 4:1 but still, this club guarantees a good night.
A guy got a bit pushy with me recently so I simply complained to the staff and it was sorted - appreciated that alot. Love the music, the people and the atmosphere... it's great!
Good music and interesting urban place if a little grubby. Crowd (mainly men) up for dancing 'til the dirty end.
Friendly vibe that was only ruined by unfriendly male barman with bad attitude to 2 girls asking politely for some water. Go with a mixed group as can be a bit intimidating for females.
Wow did I really feel inadequate here! This is a very male dominated club and me going with my 1 female friend was not such a great idea. But other than that, I liked the vibe.
by inadequate (3 reviews), 03 Oct 2005If you think the drinks at Cargo are expensive, stick to something nearer your budget - ie, a JD Weatherspoons. It's cheap by West End/Kensington standards. Interesting music with live acts and a very relaxed non-urban crowd. Great!
I do agree though - not enough of a mix, very male-dominated.
Have we missed a great club in London? Let us know.
