Scala is a huge venue near King’s Cross that hosts some of London’s funkiest club nights. Popstarz on Fridays is a long-established gay night that welcomes a huge straight/gay mixed crowd. There’s also indie nights, disco and – as an occasional break from the norm – an excellent salsa club night. Check the website for forthcoming events.
