Time Out says

Once a picturehouse and a concert hall (along with brief stretches as an aeroplane parts factory and demob labour exchange), the Scala today is a brilliantly big blank canvas club that can accommodate huge, multi-floored club nights or gigs from bands on the cusp of real stardom in its banked main room.

Although the venue has vacillated between uses, Scala’s one consistent trait has been its lack of respect for authority: its stint as a cinema was ended after Stanley Kubrick sued it into bankruptcy for showing ‘A Clockwork Orange’. Nowadays, it’s one of the most rewarding venues in which to push your way to the front for shows by big names in waiting – names as varied as triple-threat Londoner MNEK and online sensation Poppy.

What’s on

Easter Bootylicious

Bootylicious – one of London’s longest-running club nights for queer and trans people of colour – was one of the earliest clubs in the capital to strive for diversity on the DJ lineup and the dance floor when it began back in 2001. It’ll be taking over the entire three floors at Scala in King’s Cross for a one-off Easter special. Expect a line-up of hot selectors including the scene’s fast-rising DJs, artists, performers and hosts. Head to the top floor for UK funky house, GQOM, Afro electronic and House with DJs NG and Kyma, the main floor for to hear Bootylicious resident DJs Kartel Brown (promoter of Vogue Rites) ,Biggy C (daddy of Dancehall), Randall Watson and DJ Tyom keep. Or keep it old-school in the Glassbar with a set from Jeffrey Hinton and guests. Starting at 11am and ending at 6am, it’s going to be one big bank holiday blowout.
