South West Four Festival London
South West Four, also known as SW4, is an electronic music and dance festival that makes London its home. The event is one of the few city festivals that takes place on the weekend and has late timings. This allows fans to truely enjoy DJ and electronic artists who spin some of the most popular tracks. Participants pack the open air arenas to spend time dancing and drinking. South West Four is unique also because it has no camp site like other music festivals. People attending SW4 can easily go home because they are in Clapham Common, which is close to many tube stops and bus stations. The Festival has several stalls serving food, drink and items that fans want. SW4 also has after parties which take place at clubs all across the British capital.
