Favorite Socials in London?

Feedback Needed

I'm an Intermediate-Advanced Lindy-Hopper (Begintermediate Shag and Balboa), and I'll be in London from Thursday June 27th to Monday July 1st. Are there any locals that can point me to their favorite socials? I've had a look at the Swing Out London webpage, but it's almost too much information... I need some expert advice.

I'm staying at a hostel in Walworth, if that helps narrow it down; although I don't mind commuting.

Fridays at the Arcola (Tiger Rag) and Saturday nights at Juju's are particular favourites of mine. Good crowd and the bands are always excellent. Sunday Swing at the Ned is decent and a brilliant venue although the floor space is a little awkward (you have to move around servers and diners).

I went to tiger rag at the Arcola when I was visiting in May and it was a good time. Nice people and the band was great, and a good venue that's not too difficult to get to.

If the weather holds up there's free outdoor dancing at the scoop by Tower Bridge https://www.swingpatrol.co.uk/events/swing-at-the-scoop/ otherwise Tiger Rag, Jujus, and The Ned are all great options
