1. Bang Disco, Charing Cross Road, Soho

In the 1970s there were few options for a gay night out. The more distinguished gay might find themselves in a member’s club, while your average homosexual of a lower social standing would more likely find themselves in a dive bar - probably underground with a small and sticky dance floor. 

The year 1976 changed all that with the arrival of ‘Bang’ - London's first gay superclub. ‘Bang’ took its inspiration from the already established gay clubs of L.A, San Francisco and New York and was held at the Sundowner, a converted cinema on Charing cross road. The venue had 1000-plus capacity and a sound system which could do justice to the hot, new disco imports flooding in from the U.S. With a glittering roll call of DJs including Gary London, Talullah and Norman Scott, along with some impressive and dramatic lighting effects, it appealed to a broad spectrum of queers.
