Fabric – Woven into local folklore

Fabric is huge, in size and stature. I guess I don’t really need to single it out as a hidden treasure, but it would simply be criminal as a clubber to go to this city and miss a Friday night in the place DJ magazine voted second best in the world (down from first), just behind Ibiza’s Space.

Literally every dance genre is catered for by this monolith of madness – residents include house legends Craig Richards and Terry B, and you’ll nearly always find Drum n’ Bass god DJ Hype turning up the heat in Room 2 – which has one of the best laser displays this side of San Antonio. FabricLive on a Friday is undoubtedly the best night to visit, with appearances from the likes of Hawtin, Villalobos and Morillo getting the huge crowds pumping. Stay to the end; there’s nothing quite like it on the planet.

Stuff other clubs royally screw up are fine-tuned to perfection in Fabric. Otherwise sordid unisex toilets are glitzy and cool; rubbish is nowhere to be seen and the layout is instantly recognisable. The only drawbacks are the massive queues – always come earlyish – and the prices. But you knew that already. London needs its king with so many great places falling by the wayside right now – Turnmills, The Key, The End. So come with wads of cash and bow down to a demigod of dance. All hail Fabric.
