Re: Clubs You Went To Or Still Go To
Only go to one club, but rarely: Bar15 - Burton On Trent.
Spend most of my time when I'm out in The Dog. 
As a whippersnapper, I used to go to:
5th Avenue (on SuperSonic, the indie night) - Ilford, IIRC...
Equinoxe -Leicester Square.
Zoo Bar - Leicester Square.

Re: Clubs You Went To Or Still Go To
When I was at uni in London my student union was just round the corner from Ministry of Sound so went there a few times.
However between '92-'95, every Saturday night I could be found at the Whirl-y-Gig in Shoreditch Town Hall. I think I missed about 3 nights there in 4 years. The place was magical although other things may have influenced my feelings at the time. There's even a FaceBook group for all us ex-gurning refugees.

Ask Dave (the landlord, in case you didn't know) if Sean's in, he'll point me out - though like I say, I'm rarely in there nowadays. Might make it one night next week, if I can!
Edit: What's an "AVF rosette"?!

I was young...... And it was only a couple of times, because a load of people wanted to go.
I forgot, but I also used to go to Los Locos and The Office Bar, just off Oxford Street too.

Presumably you weren't at UCL due to the MoS proximity ... but did you ever go to UCL Union cocktail night of a Thursday evening (I was at UCL, 90-93), as tons of us would follow that up with a short trek over to The Rising Sun pub (somewhere between Euston and Camden iirc) with its late license and live music until around 1ish

Re: Clubs You Went To Or Still Go To
When I was at uni up in Leicester in late 90s I remember having some great nights up Flaming Colossus- helped that I went a couple of times in a group along with the lovely Vivien Solari and her mates before she got whisked off to the NY catwalks! Mozzie Coast and Le Palais De Dance were also good laugh on student nights too and I became a dedicated follower of Passion after I was introduced to the Emporium in (the middle of nowhere!) Coalville.
After moving back south in the early 00s I used to go clubbing up London a couple of times a month. Big Beat Boutique Vs Bugged Out at Fabric was always great as was The Gallery at Turnmills, which has now unfortunately closed to make way for some flats  Also went to a couple of raves at Camden Palace before it was changed into Koko. The 2 times i went to Ministry of Sound i didn't enjoy much though as it seemed to be full of poseurs and tourists.
Nowadays I don't think I could manage an all night clubbing session up London and there aren't any decent clubs nearby since Empire and the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes closed down, so the closest i get is when someone decides to have their birthday up one of the local Luminar venues

Ditto, pretty much went to Peach at Camden Palace every Friday night for about 5 years (now that it's Koko it's cleaned up but lost all of it's charm)
I miss Turnmills, went to the last night, it went out with a bang !!

Re: Clubs You Went To Or Still Go To
Here's my original "During the war" list:
Rock City (Notts)
Symphonies (Ashby)
Edwards no 8 & XL's (Brum)
Double M (Ahem)
The Cage / Foxes, or whatever it was that month (Wolves)
Highwayman (Cheadle)
There were some others that I don't know of their existence nowadays:
The Institute (Digbeth)
The Dorchester / Civic (Wolves)
Snobs (Brum)
Snoopies (Cannock)
JB's (Dudley)
Non Rock clubs:
Dome (Brum )
Maymies (Cannock)
Zanzibar, although it was the Colosseum years ago (Stafford)
And I'm sure there are others I've let fall out of my brain
