BGWMC

BGWMC We're an East-end party-house! Tucked away off the beaten track (off Bethnal Green Road), just east of Shoreditch in London - that's where we are.

Since 1953 we've been a real east-end Workingmen's Club and we like to HAVE A GOOD TIME! Infact we hold regular social events each week. Some racy, others cultural and refined - but mostly wild and unhinged good-times. We’re not your typical ‘club’ venue! Not only do we put on a damn good night out… but we engage and encourage the growth of local artists, musicians, DJs, and performers; working wi

th them to create and promote all sorts of accessible events. We’re seen by many as a vital part of community life, surviving with our original purpose intact but reinvigorated with an improved programme of events! We produce evocative and interactive events, curating unpretentious happenings in the club and beyond that give guests not just a great time but an experience to take away…..

TONIGHT! DISCO 54 is back.. and she's evolved...
You can still expect all the usual ’54 goodness we’re famous for, now with a healthy dose of disco-fied house to get you twirling under the mirrorball.

DJ GEOFF LEONARD will keep the dance floor throbbing and the beat pulsing. We start with authentic and addictive Disco hits; rare grooves, blaring trumpets 'n' bass, before the hypnotising, house-inflected tracks take over.

It’s all 4-to-the-floor grooves, designed to make you dance.

Played as they were meant to be heard: ON PRISTENE VINYL ...Warm, DEEP and delicious!

It’s not just about the music though...
Look out for our fierce and fabulous pop up performers;

IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE...
the inimitable GAFF-E is bringing gloriously unhinged, cosmic CHAOS!
Decadent Disco Diva... SOROYA MARCHELLE is serving DRAMA on the runway!
and let's not forget 54's very own drag-tastic dance troupe... HOT HUSTLE
They are ready to cut shapes, THROW down and werk that pole Honey!

Follow the beat and head to BGWMC for a night of heedless optimism - where

GLITTER, GLAMOUR, GREAT MUSIC AND GOOD TIMES combine in a dancefloor crescendo!

Leave your ego at the door, Bring your best energy, lock in and lose yourself.
