Roller skates and late-night clubbing: it doesn't sound like a marriage made in heaven, but this is one of the hottest nights in the capital, impossible to get into after 10pm.
Three rooms offer cheery seventies hits, funky house music and some pretty good Hip-Hop and RnB, and the standard of the skating goes up as you descend further into the club. The seventies room is cheerful drunken fun (with instructors on hand to help untangle the amateur skaters), while there is some very slick dancing going on in the third room.
The constant crashing into each other makes for a thoroughly friendly atmosphere, and the skating gimmick has produced one of the most mixed crowds in London, with students and locals, gay and straight, and all different races happily spinning round, helping each other off the floor and flirting in the bar.
I can't skate to save my life, and I found this ridiculously fun. Those who actually know what they're doing will enjoy it even more. |
