Over the next year or so, its our intention to upload the majority of our archive collection of venues  (pre 2012) on to this page (nightclubs, bar, restaurants, event venues and casinos). This collection will hopefully include brands such as Atik, Mokas, Chicago Rock Cafes, NY NY, Liquids, Lava Ignites, Apres, Browns, Times, Life Bars, Zanzibars, Jumping Jaks, Cameos, Creations, Oceanas, Atlantis, Ikons, Jongleurs, Walkabouts,  etc.

Also, they are lots of 'one off' venues such as Hedkandi, Infinity, Empire, Ministry of Sound, Miss Money Penny's, Bablyon, Barcelona, Kartouche, DNA, Eros/Elite, The Works, Mission, Club Cube, Kudos, Isis, Hippodrome, Code, Destiny, Eros, Mezzanines, Project, Red, Club Wow, KCs, Mood, etc. Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

The venues shot on film will take longer to archive and cover a period from 1993 - 2000. Most of the images were commissioned by DI, Night, Theme, Arc, Live magazines, the interior designers, lighting designers or builders. 

Eventually we aim to produce a book which will feature a good selection of the venues, along with details of the operators (Steve Thomas, Mike Payne etc), interior designers, lighting design, builders etc. Any input would be appreciated. This is an expensive self funded project and the costs involved include archiving (both on line and in the studio), re-touching and scanning costs, and administration. 

This project is about celebrating the amazing venues that operated in the UK over the 1990s and 2000s, their design, the builders/craft people  and the individuals that worked in them.
