With the Jubilee four-day weekend only a few short weeks away, it's time to make plans.
Greek Street is known as an all-year party spot, with bars open until the early hours- but now the notorious street is bringing its businesses together for a huge street party over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend.
Given the four-day weekend extravaganza ahead, Greek Street is bringing the celebrations from evening to afternoon so you can spend more time drinking and dancing than ever before.
Kicking the event off at midday on Thursday 2 June 2022, there will be no less than three DJs playing across the centre of Greek Street for a whopping ten hours in front of Yorkshire House.
Expect the very best of cheesy tunes, old school R&B, as well as dance tracks and modern beats as the sky fades into pastel nighttime hues and the party continues late into the night.

Acting as one big street party, this really will be the ultimate city centre event.
There's a whopping nine bars and restaurants confirmed to take part so far, each of which will allow the use of special Jubilee recyclable cups to take out of the venues to wander (or dance) around the street.
Confirmed to take place so far, Manahatta will be at the heart of the action with sponsors Hendricks whilst The Alchemist will be supplying the Patrón spirits. You'll dee The Lost & Found and Salon de Privé (Dakota) sporting the very best of No. 3 gin whilst Gusto will be sponsored by Grey Goose and Neighbourhood will host two suppliers: Pimms and Tanqueray.
The Liquorist All Bar One, and Wetherspoons will also be getting involved in the street party and keep the drinks flowing far later than the 10pm finish time of the official street party event.

The plot follows an unassuming pair in a small coastal town in northern England where the pair both realise they have a hidden talent for crime.
The series synopsis states: "As they build an operation that threatens to blow the local bad guys out of the water, opposing futures beckon – using their earnings to fund a fresh start, or becoming the new bosses in town."
The show is based on a popular French TV series and is written by Amanda Coe, an acclaimed English screenwriter and novelist.
Amanda Coe spoke about the announcement: "With such a rich and spiky central relationship at its core, Shy & Lolais a dream of a show to write, full of fun, action and emotion. I can't wait to see our hugely exciting cast and director bring it to life."
Rachelle Constant, executive Producer for Clerkenwell Films, said: "Amanda has written a brilliantly bold series centred on a dynamic female duo, which blends dark comedy with propulsive storytelling.We’re thrilled to have Hayley and Bel as our leads, alongside an exceptional cast and crew."
