Club AntiChrist

Club AntiChrist describes itself as “a huge London club night for Alternative people” and says it is “queer friendly.” It moves between venues, most recently Scala in King's Cross, and says it runs roughly every three months. Its About page says it was founded in 2004 and relaunched in 2007. At Scala the night runs on several floors. Multiple dancefloors cover metal, 80s, goth, post-punk, dark electro and industrial, a Theatre stages fire, aerial, comedy and gorelesque shows plus a live band, and the dungeon has Benchmarxxx equipment such as St Andrew's Crosses, spanking benches and a swing, with Dungeon Monitors who help newcomers. A dark playroom for couples and groups has a monitored door and free condoms, and there is a shibari corner, a cloakroom and a private outdoor smoking area. Entry is 18+ with physical photo ID that the venue scans. An alternative dress code is enforced, with no refund if guests are refused for it, and outside food and drink is not allowed. Cameras need a club photopass, the club has a strict no-drugs policy, and guests must ask before touching anyone: breaking that rule means ejection and a lifetime ban.
