Scala, Music venue and nightclub in Kings Cross, London, United Kingdom.
Scala is a music and nightclub venue housed in a former cinema building with multiple floors and distinct event spaces. The building features a main stage, separate dance areas, and additional performance zones where different events can happen at the same time.
The building opened in 1920 as Kings Cross Cinema and first served the community as a movie house. After decades of use, it was transformed into a nightclub in the late 1990s and has hosted music and live events ever since.
The space has become a gathering place for different music genres, where both established and emerging artists perform. Visitors experience a mix of dance floors and performance stages that bring the space to life.
The venue sits near Kings Cross railway station and is easily reachable by public transportation from across London. Visitors should note that the event schedule varies, so it is worth checking current information before planning a visit.
During the 1980s, the building operated as Scala Film Club and showed films that were officially banned, drawing attention from major studios. That era made it a cultural space that defied restrictions.
