Hi,
Can't really help with nightlife but looks like you have enough suggestions - just buy TimeOut and see what is going on at night. But for the weekend in the days - this is what you have to do -
Saturday in the day check out Portobello market, loads of "funky" clothes and things, amazing food and a great atmosphere. I'd have lunch in one of the eateries around NottingHill then in the afternoon I would go to Covent Garden and see some of the boutique shops and places there.
On Sunday there is no question about it , go to the Eastend and hit a market. Columbia flower market is great as they have cool bric a brac, boutiquey shops as well as flowers. Then walk over to Brick Lane market finishing at Spitalfields with its cool shops and funky cafes. I did this the last weekend it didn't rain, we used the Eastend walk we downloaded onto our ipod's from www.talkingtrip.com, we had a great time! and looked like locals not tourists as we were listening to where to go via our ipod not some guide book!

If it's funky your looking for head to funky Budda, or try Babble just opposite...it's not so pretencious like some of the clubs, or Embassy is close by also.
I prefer heading to some of the more underground reggae places but that might not be your scene, it all depends what type of music you like as to where you should head, but the popular places tend to be Pangea, Penthouse, China White etc, check out exclusive london website to get guestlisted.

If you want a club then you should buy a copy of Mixmag magazine and look at the Whats On section. It has all the listings you will need to find a club night you fancy.
You should look at some clubs like Pacha or Turnmills if you want Funky House music, or even Fabric on a Saturday.

What music are you into?
Go down to camden during the day and hang around the markets especailly the stabls one and you get lots of people who ill give you good answers.
Also not a nightclub but centre of the trance scene
www.accessallareas.org
Go for the up and comming synergy and antiworld (esp synergy) at SEONE venue. (go early slow q)
The toilet is the size of a small club...
It has 6 rooms each as big as major clubs and these events are more like a festival with markets, various music, cafes the works.
Very good culture, very safe... hippy like in a way...
You can try Whirley gig (nice but much smaller) see same site.
http://www.whirl-y-gig.org.uk/
Novelty clubs include
www.carwash.co.uk Carwash being a 70s 80s club where you have to be dressed up (the more ott the better or in other fancy dress).
Have to pre book too.
Also they have a swimming pool and jacquzzi, lots of hen, stage, 18th ans 21st brithday groups
Oh did I mention the pool?
dress code there is simply not the main outfit... all else goes.
www.schooldisco.com sats... guess the dress code? 70s 80s 90s
in Forum in Kentish Town
(look up nightbusses to get home)
For wilder events try
www.thechurch.co.uk for mad backpackers club on a sunday afternoon... see the pictures.
www.ocotberfestpub.com on the first sunday of the months... Jelly wrestle night... the girls see more of the guys as the girls in the pit play rough... poor dude dont stand a chance.
www.clubstarkers.com yes the dress code is what you think it is... or lack of and is more 'grown up'
Rock and skatepunk/nu metal music used to be Camden Palace (now koko) then got taken over but have new night on sat comming up ... check out or rockscene at the dome in tufnel park (oppstation)
All have good nightbus routes
