Tonteria - Chelsea, London

Tonteria has long been a standby for revellers looking for the craziest party in Chelsea. The jewelbox small venue is nestled in the underbelly of Sloane Square, and those who descend its steps will be swept away into an alternative reality of debauchery where the spirit of Dia de los Muertos presides. Think lots of luchero wrestlers, sparklers models, piñatas and anything-goes late night sessions. 

The design channels Mexico City dive bars with a plethora of calaca skulls perched throughout the room, Spanish terracotta tiling, eerie green lighting, leafy foliage, slick leather and worn stonework on the walls. Tequila connoisseurs will be well catered for, with almost fifty selections available by the bottle. And those who order a round of shots for their table will have them delivered by a toy choo-choo train that wends its way around the club's ceiling. 

For anyone who needs to line their stomachs, the kitchens do a fine job with Mexican tapas. Choose from south-of-the-border standards like tortilla chips and guacamole to more involved dishes like crispy squid with salsa verde. As the night progresses into the early morning, get ready for a party with no holds barred, soundtracked by house, hip-hop and commercial music.
