As I mentioned in the London dying thread, I saw this top 25 clubs in Europe (mainland Europe, not including the UK) in the Guardian recently

And I will look for the UK follow up soon but I was surprised by the number of people in the comments who mentioned Fabric as the best thing in the UK - to me it represents everything that I hate about clubbing. Surely there are better things than that - surely?
I'm getting old now and I don't go out half as much as I used to - when I first moved to London I used to find an allnight party for Friday and another one for Saturday every weekend. I used to love doing that, varying the music each time, from reggae to techno and anything in-between. Anyway, I'm not too old (I think) and I miss clubbing - what's good right now?
The best regular night I know at the moment in London is World Uknown - it does the most important thing well (great music) and has an underground feel what with being in a different (often secret) location each time and generally managing to have a killer vibe. It's about the right size for me, a few hundred people or so, when it gets much bigger I think it becomes too faceless and I feel lost (but I do like smaller parties too).
Overall I'm asking two things -
1. What clubs are good? I'm talking venues here, I mean a good size, nice security, decent sound and genuinely a good spot to go dancing. Also, a good club will tend to programme good nights of course.
2. What nights are good? Could be something like WU which is in a different place every time or it could just be a night that you really like at the same place every time - in which case it kinda overlaps with part 1.
Looking forward to some answers here - cheers!
