London superclub Drumsheds is getting a major overhaul – including security upgrades and a new queuing system

London’s 15,000-capacity superclub Drumsheds, and the UK’s biggest nightclub, will soon undergo a major transformation, with changes to the venue based on feedback from punters. 

In December 2024 the club in Tottenham’s former IKEA had its licence reviewed after two people died after attending events at the venue. Following this there were crowd management issues on December 13, after the club introduced much more stringent security checks. After the review in January Drumsheds was allowed to stay open under new measures. 

Now the club has revealed it will undergo a serious redesign, based on feedback from clubbers. Drumsheds revealed the improvements, promising a ‘new era’ via an Instagram post on May 22.

What will be different about Drumsheds?

Firstly, entering and exiting the building should be a smoother process, as the venue has doubled the capacity for its queuing system and increased the number of search lanes. Inside there will be more space too as what was once the VIP area has been opened up to the public, offering more ‘chill out’ zones to all attendees.

The sound in the main X Room has been improved, with additional subwoofers and a new ‘acoustic draping system’. The venue has introduced more toilets, promising to make them cleaner, and opened new sober bars, offering low and no-alcohol drinks. 

Drumsheds has also widened the pavements around the venue in collaboration with Enfield Council, and increased its capacity for shuttle buses and vehicles, making getting to and from the club simpler. The venue has also promised more information points, better signposting and more visible set times. 

Finally, Drumsheds has teased ‘better connectivity’ (although we’re not sure what this means just yet) and a makeover of its secondary Y Room, with a ‘new design, new configuration and new experience’.
