Scala

A former movie theater that houses an impressive live room and three different dance spaces, with lavish staircases and classic architectural features. The programming and atmosphere hark back to the golden era of garage in the ’90s. The crowd is never the same—it could be hardened UK garage heads, students, punks, and rockers, or a mixed LGBT audience. London’s rawest classic garage raves are still going strong here, but the venue also sees an eclectic mix of live and electronic sounds and remains an important platform for emerging local talent from across the board.
