Fire is one of London’s leading gay clubs and just a guaranteed good time for anyone into deep house, techno and Ibiza-style raves. Spread across several rooms in Vauxhall’s clubbing heartland (and right next to Area, which is managed by the same team) the place draws a steady crowd of regulars and stoppers-by in the mood for wonky-hour japery.
Popular nights include Juicy on Thursdays, A:M after-hours on Fridays and all-night session Orange on Sunday. Occasional touring DJs and one-off parties spice things up, but residents such as David Jimenez and The Sharp Boys are consistently impressive.
The venue is well-equipped, comfortable and features uplifting visuals and pyrotechnics. As a word of warning to some and enticement for others, Fire is a totally hedonistic place; the crowd here live to party.
