Turnmills
1

Described by Together’s Justin Robertson as “the perfect underground club”, the recently departed Turnmills was a subterranean den of inequity with a music policy reared on integrity and diversity. From Dave Clarke to Paul van Dyk, literally every DJ worth his salt has played Turnmills — a testament to the club’s unparalleled reputation.

The first UK club with a 24-hour license, it’s hard to imagine any other London club hosting a weekly residency from The Chemical Brothers, whilst it labyrinth nooks and crannies meant that no matter how familiar you got with Turnmills, you never truly knew your way round it.

“Turnmills has never gone for the obvious commercial route and I think that is to be really cherished,” remembers enduring Gallery resident Sister Bliss.
