Affiliate & Data Transparency Disclosure
Last updated: 25 August 2026 · Written to meet the ASA / CAP Code standard for clear and upfront affiliate disclosure
1. We are an independent publisher
bestclubsinlondon.co.uk is an independent nightlife guide and affiliate publisher. We are not a promoter, venue, box office or guestlist operator, and we are not officially affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Tripadvisor, DesignMyNight, London Night Guide, Clubbable, Skiddle, Eventbrite or any individual venue, unless we state otherwise on the page in question.
2. How affiliate monetisation works
- Some outbound links on this site — typically "Tickets", "Buy Tickets", "Join Guestlist" and "Book VIP Table" buttons — carry a tracking tag that identifies us as the referrer. For Skiddle, that tag is
sktag=15796. - If you complete a qualifying booking after clicking, the partner pays us a small commission out of their own margin or booking fee.
- The price you pay is identical to going direct. Commission is never added to your ticket, and we cannot alter partner pricing.
- Commission is paid by the platform, not the venue, and typically depends on a cookie set on the partner's domain when you click through.
3. Where you will see a disclosure
Every ticket, guestlist or table-booking button that can earn us a commission carries an inline notice reading: "Disclosure: Tickets sold via our affiliate partner Skiddle. We may earn a small commission on qualifying bookings." A permanent notice also appears in the site footer on every page.
4. Editorial independence
Rankings, ratings and "best of" placements are generated from aggregated public data (source ratings, review counts, recency and popularity signals) and our own editorial judgement. Commission rates do not influence rankings. A venue cannot pay to appear higher in our directory. Where any listing or feature is paid or sponsored, it will be clearly labelled as such.
5. Data transparency: where our listings come from
- Public listing data — club names, addresses, opening hours, music policy, dress codes and event listings — is aggregated from publicly available sources and partner feeds, including London Night Guide, Clubbable, Tripadvisor, DesignMyNight and Skiddle's public events API.
- Ratings shown against a source name are that source's own rating, attributed and reproduced for reference. Our aggregate score is a weighted combination and is clearly presented as ours.
- Duplicate merging — listings for the same physical venue are merged into a single canonical profile using name, address and postcode matching.
- Trademarks — venue names, logos, event artwork and source brand names remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and reference only.
If you are a venue or rights holder and want a listing corrected, updated or removed, email legal@bestclubsinlondon.co.uk and we will act promptly.
