Scala

Once an art deco cinema and concert hall (and with a short stint as a monkey zoo, yes really), Scala almost closed down forever in 1992 after Stanley Kubrick sued the cinema for screening A Clockwork Orange. Today, Scala lives on as a brilliantly blank canvas venue that can accommodate huge, multi-floored club nights or gigs from bands on the cusp of real stardom in its banked main room. It’s programming is eclectic. Scala events span everything from the stalwart London pop night Club de Fromage, to reggaeton nights with Bad Bunny tribute acts, and gigs from the likes of Frank Turner, JMSN and edgy up-and-comers Bleech 9:3.
