Ministry of Sound

In 1991, our founders returned from a life-changing trip to New York to take a leap of faith. They gambled that a beaten-up old bus depot in an unloved part of South London could become the hottest nightclub in town – a place where people could dance the night away to euphoric house music and leave as the bin trucks and forensics squads turned up at dawn.

Ministry of Sound was the first club dedicated to house music, the first club to pick up the gauntlet laid down by the Second Summer of Love and, most importantly, the first nightclub in London with a room built purely for exceptional sound quality.

The sound systems in each of our four rooms are like nothing else you’ll find in London. The rig in our main space The Box is renowned the world over by DJs and club connoisseurs alike. But you don’t need to be an expert to appreciate how sick it is. The towering speaker stacks, several million watts of bass and triple-thick absorbing walls will make sure you get the message: it really is a unique experience you really need to hear and see for yourself on the most iconic sprung wooden dance floor in South London.
