Occupying the former home of the long-running Club 414 at 414-416 Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, south London, the venue that launched as The Ton of Brix in December 2022 brought a new club operation to a site steeped in the area's underground dance history. A collaboration linked to the promoters behind Brixton Jamm, it took over a two-floor building only a few steps from Brixton station and held an unusual 24-hour drinking licence. The basement and ground floor were fitted with a Funktion-One s.....

Opened on 15 October 1930 as the New Victoria, this West End theatre on Wilton Road began life as a lavish super cinema during the great age of the picture palace. It was designed by Ernest Wamsley Lewis and W. E. Trent for Provincial Cinematograph Theatres, with an Art Deco interior themed around an undersea world of shell-shaped lights and wave-like plasterwork. The building occupies an awkward triangular site between Wilton Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road, which gave it two almost identical fr.....

Standing in isolated grandeur at Hyde Park Corner, Apsley House was once so prominently the first building travellers reached on entering London from the west that it earned the simple address Number One London. Built in the 1770s to designs by Robert Adam and later remodelled and faced in Bath stone, the mansion is famous as the London home of Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, the soldier and statesman who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and twice served as prime minister. The hous.....

Dedicated to the work of the anonymous street artist who has become one of the most talked-about figures in contemporary art, this immersive exhibition gathers reproductions, prints, installations and audiovisual displays to trace the career and themes of Banksy. The mysterious artist, whose true identity remains a closely guarded secret, rose from the graffiti scene to international fame through stencilled images that combine sharp wit with biting commentary on war, consumerism, surveillance an.....

A Grade II-listed former coal-fired power station on the south bank of the Thames, Battersea Power Station reopened in 2022 as a shopping, dining and leisure destination in the Nine Elms district of London. The brick building was raised in two phases from the 1930s, its four white chimneys becoming one of the most recognisable shapes on the city's skyline before the plant was decommissioned in 1983. It stood derelict for decades, familiar from film and album artwork, until a major regeneration.....

A fiercely independent club and live-music space, Brixton Jamm has spent years championing grassroots culture on Brixton Road. Part bar, part club, part venue, it built its reputation on an open-minded booking policy and a welcoming, community-minded atmosphere far from the corporate end of London nightlife. Its rooms and outdoor terrace host a broad sweep of programming, from house and techno to reggae, drum and bass and live bands. The terrace in particular has become a favourite for sun-soa.....

Buckingham Palace, the official London residence and administrative headquarters of the British monarch, is among the most recognised buildings in the world and a focal point for national celebration and ceremony. The palace began as a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in the early eighteenth century, was acquired by the crown and progressively enlarged, and became the principal royal residence in London on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. Its famous east front, the facade.....

Built in 1907 as a Christian Science church, Cadogan Hall in Chelsea has been one of London's most admired mid-size concert venues since its conversion in 2004. The Byzantine Revival building on Sloane Terrace, the work of architect Robert Fellowes Chisholm, who also designed the Napier Museum in India, is distinguished by stained glass by the Danish artist Arild Rosenkrantz and was listed at Grade II in 1969. By the mid-1990s the congregation had dwindled and the building fell into disuse. Aft.....

Duo is a cocktail bar and nightclub set in a converted railway arch at 15-16 Lendal Terrace in Clapham, south London. Designed around graphic arches and a cinematic feature wall, it pairs a cocktail-led bar and food, served in partnership with Gather Kitchen, with a weekend club operation. The calendar mixes bottomless brunches, supper clubs, bingo and karaoke with Friday and Saturday club nights, where resident DJs play R&B, hip-hop and party anthems and VIP table packages are available. The v.....

Set in a grand art deco building that began life as a cinema in the 1910s, Electric Brixton carries decades of south London entertainment history in its walls. The Town Hall Parade venue has worn many names over the years, including its celebrated spell as The Fridge, before reopening under its current identity as a club and live-music space. Its sweeping main room, with a balcony overlooking the floor, gives it the feel of a small theatre repurposed for the dancefloor. The programming runs br.....
