Opened as a cinema shortly after World War I, the Scala was used briefly to show adult films in the '70s before becoming a live music venue where Iggy Pop and Hawkwind both strutted their stuff. Now one of London's best-loved gig venues, this multi-floored monolith is surprisingly spacious, spread out over four floors with three bars, two dance rooms and a stage for live performance with space for 1,145 people. Scala stages a laudably broad range of indie, electronica, avant hip hop and folk and is a relatively intimate space to catch fast rising acts such as Glasvegas as well as established stars (Stereophonics, Chemical Brothers). Make sure you don't miss the upstairs bar, with its glass windows and panoramic views of the dance floor: it's the perfect place for spotting lost mates in the seething mass below.

This place is amazing. I've been to a few of their club nights and always had a good time. Bar staff were friendly so there must have been a change around, same with the security. The place is like a maze though I got lost so many times but I like that all the roooms were playing different music so you never got bored and there was something for everyone. Would recommend for a gig or club night anytime.

This place is not worth a recommendation. The personnel is unfriendly and rude from the barstaff, to the cloakroom to the security ( they have to be serious I know ). There is only one bar which is packed as a cow transport on the M5. The guy on the male toilet is a friendly chap providing you with soap and tissue- if you PAY. If you don t pay he s not friendly any more and you leave the toilet with wet hands.....
