A superstore-sized mixed club which previously specialised in gay nights, mornings and afternoons throbbing with dancing and stimulated men – Revolver, Queer Nation, Megawoof!, A:M, Orange, Beyond and beyond – but which now appears to have switched to the other side (more hip-hop than gay-trippy dance), for the most part.

(Was an) Absolute must visit in London
Original Review: Fire is up there with the best gay venues in the world (Fly in Toronto, Parking in Montreal, The Week in Sao Paulo). With excellent sound system and lighting (one room has a wrap around LED lighting system all over the walls and ceiling) this venue attracts a hot, up for it crowd with no attitude. Note that Saturday night events vary so check listings in advance. Update: December 2012. This is not really a gay venue anymore, in part reflecting a waning interest in Vauxhall. It has always hosted straight parties but weekly gay nights like Gravity have moved to the inferior Covert and I question for long those that remain will stay here. Fire has hosted a very small number of gay parties on Saturday nights this year. And having been to a few nights since my original review I think it was a bit over-enthusiastic. There's much better (gay and straight venues) to be had in London.
