Ministry of Sound London Nightclub

Ministry of Sound London nightclub opened in London in September 1991 and was one of the key locations in the development of house music and super clubs in Britain in the early 90s. Ministry of Sound has now established a cult following among clubbers worldwide and is now a 'brand'.

The famous sound system is only ever run at 45% of its full capacity. If it was played at 100% it would be the loudest manmade sound you could hear!

Ministry of Sound London attracts 5000 people each weekend and has three dance floors and three bars. It has remained popular due to the legendary DJs, such as Pete Tong and Paul Oakenfold.

Ministry is only open at the weekend, it's expensive, and the security is tight, but on a good night it's all worth it.

History:

The building was an unused bus depot and was chosen for its warehouse character that was the dominant clubbing environment of the early 90s. Inspired by the US house music movement James Palumbo, Ministry of Sound’s founder, had a vision to bring world famous DJs to the UK enabling dance music fans access to the music they adored and the DJs that played and produced it.

For many years Ministry of Sound London has been hailed as the 'House of House' as DJ input and musical output has always concentrated on the many genres of house music.

Ministry of Sound London started a worldwide music and lifestyle brand and was a major influence on the UK clubbing scene. It still ranks as one of London's best (and most hedonistic) populist clubs.
