Heaven

Informazioni su questo posto Heaven

Heaven opened in 1979 under the Charing Cross railway arches and has been at the centre of London's gay club scene for 45 years — through the AIDS crisis, the Criminal Justice Act raves era, the New Labour liberalisation, and the consolidation of Vauxhall as a rival scene. It is the reference point. The venue holds 1,600 people across multiple rooms, with the main dance floor under the Victorian arches providing an acoustic environment that no modern club design has improved upon. G-A-Y on Saturday night is the flagship event: pop acts, live PAs, the full range of the London LGBTQ+ market from teenagers to 40-somethings. The Monday G-A-Y Late is one of London's best-known weekly gay club nights — cheap entry, pop music, and the kind of mid-week energy that doesn't exist anywhere else in the city. The venue has hosted performances by Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga and virtually every major pop act of the past four decades. The location — a five-minute walk from Trafalgar Square — makes it the most accessible major club in the city. Dress code varies by night: G-A-Y nights are relaxed; specialist nights have their own requirements.
