Renowned as one of London's first underground music venues, the Scala originally staged appearances by the likes of Iggy Pop & The Stooges. In the 80's the venue reverted to being a cinema, displaying art-house films and running its famous film and music all-nighters.

Since March 1999 the Scala has operated as a successful Live venue and Night Club and hosts regular weekend club nights but is also a very popular venue for live music on week nights.
