Phonox

Brixton club Phonox looks to be kind of a big deal for south London nightlife, and in fact London clubbing as a whole. After the team behind acclaimed nightspots including XOYO, The Nest, the Old Queen’s Head and the Blues Kitchen franchises purchased the site of former Brixton club Plan B when it shut down, they wasted little time in transforming it into Phonox. The club has a similar feel to both XOYO and the Nest: a sleek, dark dance cavern with plenty of space for dancing, and the programming leans very much towards the leftfield side of dance music – don’t expect cheesy ’80s nights here, it’s quality, underground house, techno, disco and bass all the way.

The Cause

The Cause, a 400-capacity club in Tottenham, hopes to fill the gap in London’s nightlife and promote community and mental-health charities. The venue, opening in a former car-mechanics depot, is crowdfunding to give clubbers the opportunity to party around a literal centrepiece DJ booth with a custom soundsystem by Core. Through a monthly membership program, The Cause aims to raise £25,000 to give to its charity partners, which include Mind In Haringey, C.A.L.M. and Help Musicians UK. “The Cause is designed from the ground up to give back to people around us,” says co-founder Stuart Glen.
