Long live London’s nightclubs

9:51 AM

London’s biggest club, seOne, has thrown its last party. An announcement was made on 22 February that it had ceased trading with a statement from the club:

“It is with great sadness, that I must inform you that ‘seOne London’ ceased trading on Monday Afternoon, 22nd February 2016.


After eight long, hard and exciting years, seOne London has fallen victim to the recession and hard times felt in nightclubs all over the UK. 

Another club in the capital bites the dust  – even hugely popular nightclubs are suffering from the recession, with reports that seOne struggled to fill the club any night other than Saturday.

seOne threw events as diverse as Raindance and Minus, and was one of the few venues still around where it was possible to go to a proper, dedicated drum and bass rave.

I feel an added sadness as the iconic club shuts its doors. Not only was it an excellent venue but it was one of the first places I ventured into in London, underage and passionate about music. I met my first boyfriend under the arches, I discovered Goldie and Hype and fell in love with drum and bass in general.

It’s a sad time for the clubs in the capital. With the end shutting early last year and Bagleys shutting a while before that, that’s three of my all time favorite clubs in the capital now gone. Which is why we have to support the petition to save Ministry, as its future also hangs in the balance.

London isn’t London without seOne. Thanks for the memories.
