About Fire London

Fire London is a long-running nightclub beneath the railway arches in Vauxhall, one of the historic centres of London’s LGBTQ+ nightlife. The venue is particularly well known among gay and LGBTQ+ clubbers, although its programme also includes broader electronic-music events. Different nights bring different crowds and music styles, ranging from house and techno to bass, commercial dance and specialist club events. Fire occupies a substantial multi-room complex with interconnected dance spaces, bars, VIP areas and an outdoor terrace. Its late licences and location beside Vauxhall’s major transport interchange have made it an established destination for parties that continue well into the early morning.

What to expect

A large, high-energy nightclub rather than a casual neighbourhood gay bar. Expect powerful sound systems, busy dance floors, multiple rooms and a crowd that varies significantly depending on the event.

Had a great time! I went for a day time event and I presume that's not the whole place but just part of it as some people said more rooms are open depending on the event. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Place was not busy so there was no queue or waiting time for anything really. Drink is a bit expensive but bar staff was very quick and friendly. Toilet was clean. Haven't been to a night event so I don't know how it is when it gets busier but I had a great time and cannot fault anything.

Had a fantastic night at Fire Nightclub on Friday! Me and three friends visited and had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was energetic, the music was great, and the DJs kept the crowd entertained throughout the night. The venue has a unique vibe with plenty of space to dance and enjoy the evening. The staff were friendly, the organization was good, and the overall experience felt safe and welcoming. Whether you're visiting with friends or looking for a lively night out in London, Fire is definitely worth checking out.

I’ve been to the Kpop club nights held here a couple of times and the atmosphere was always fun. There are multiple rooms playing different music which is nice and soju is available at the bar. I was excited to hear they do food, expecting at the end of the night we can get toppoki and fried chicken when we’re hungry after a long night of dancing, but practically everything was sold out. They were charging £10 for a cup of shin ramen which you’d pay £1.25 for at Tesco. Also for whatever reason security didn’t let me and my partner go in together so we got separated for a bit which was annoying, especially since we had both bought VIP tickets. It’s a great place for music and atmosphere but the food situation and extortionate prices let it down somewhat.

Paid £14.6 for a Redbull and single vodka shot. Unbelievable. How this is even legal?!!! Coat check was sooo slow, it took ages to leave my jacket. The dance floor is TINY and there’s no clear signs for other areas of the club, like bathrooms.

I didn't try any food because I didn't know that was an option. If you tip your support staff appropriately, they are super friendly. There seemed to be some confusion as to when the venue was ready and how there were 2 ques leading into the same door. I'm glad I bought the jump the que ticket because the que was very long, so get there early, like for sure (how early? I unfortunately do not know.) Currently I rank Fire>Eagle>RVT. But I just wanna rave that's why it beats out Eagle. Eagle is pretty chill which is nice. RVT is ALWAYS crowded. Hence it's current placement. I don't believe Fire should be a casual dress affair like it says on regular Google. I would love to see the 1980's - 1990's over the top outfits. Outfits that don't fit in normal society should be adorned and adorated here. Can there be events similar to what happened back the dance halls of the 1980's and 1990's? They could go from 21h00 to 23h00. Maybe registered houses with a minimum number of family members that have paid their annual or semi-annual dues (£££). The people that want to watch the houses compete would need to pay for a separate ticket or a combo ticket if they wanted to stay in the club after the competitions were over. Can there be a stoplight 🚦 party? Red is for people in a monogamous relationship, yellow is for it's complicated/open, green is single and ready to mingle, and black would be for I'm just here for the event. There could even be bracelets for PURCHASE (not mandatory) that indicates your sexuality (homosexual, bisexual, pan sexual, asexual, heterosexual etc.). There could be LED bracelet version of these for a higher charge. Why are y'all's liquid volume for knockback drinks so small? Shouldn't the volume equal one mini bottle of that drink? I'm new here, so what do I know...? The above is just food for thought. I'd be willing to elaborate if the venue wants to contact me. This is where I rant because of my own baggage. The venue is in a gayberhood. After being oppressed in THE South of the US, it would be nice to have a queer space sanctuary. I asked some people why Fire had such a low rating, and it was because it was less if a queer safe space and more of a generic club. The event, I went to was very straight friendly (like straights were the minority), which was comforting. I grew up in an era where straights were beating up non-cis-gender heterosexual people and killing LGBTQ+ people in the streets just outside of the gay club or inside the gay club. People would only get 2 years of probation or at most 2 years of jail time because Hate Crime laws don't exist in THE South, and the non-minorities don't understand the need for Hate Crime laws. I'm always concerned what will happen if I didn't know a guy was straight and was trying to pick him up. When in a straight environment it reminds of when my partner and I had to run as these "good ole' boys" were taking their truck back 'round after they saw my partner and I holding hands. When I was in Savannah, Georgia (US) it seemed like every night people were being pulled out of a straight bar/club for fighting, while Club One (the only queer space in the "city") was super chill and I felt safe. Sorry, I'm ranting because of my own baggage. I'd be down to be contacted by the venue and discuss the validity of my concerns. Yours Truly, TS PS I put very loud/hard to hear as it was at a specific event. But it gave you a reason to be physically close to someone 😉 There was no reason for me to spend as much as I did. You could EASILY spend a lot less than £100.
