Scala, Music venue and nightclub in Kings Cross, London, United Kingdom.
The Scala spans multiple floors in a former cinema building, featuring a main stage, dance areas, and different performance spaces for concurrent events.
Originally opened as Kings Cross Cinema in 1920, the building manufactured aircraft parts during World War I before becoming a cinema and later a nightclub in 1999.
The venue has hosted performances by major artists including Coldplay, Gorillaz, Deftones, and Foo Fighters while supporting emerging local musicians.
The venue accommodates 1,145 people and sits near Kings Cross railway station, making it easily reachable from all parts of London via public transportation.
During the 1980s, the building operated as Scala Film Club, screening prohibited films like A Clockwork Orange, which resulted in legal action from Warner Bros.
