Now that's consistency for you. A yearly shoe-in for the poll, Plastic People has only nudged one spot since last year; a statistic that's testament to the week-in-week-out quality of this snug, pitch-black room that continues to fly the flag for East London's night scene.

Still the living quarters of Rinse FM's Thursday night soiree FWD, Ali Tillett's rapidly spreading Warm brand and a frequent stopping ground for the Y3K funk of Floating Points, you know what you are getting at Plastic People - and it's always shit-hot.
