INCLUSIVE & accessible nightlife opportunities in East London since 2005
Bubble Club was started by an advocacy charity called Map Squad in 2005 after they attended council meetings where learning disabled people weren’t happy with the opportunities available for them to go out and socialize in the evening.
Map Squad campaigned in Tower Hamlets for many things including listening to learning disabled voices as the most important aspect of designing their care and how they spend their money and time. They fought for more effective personal funding, and canvassed many services in the area, and what they discovered is the need for people to go out at night and connect with people in adult spaces, without discrimination or exclusion. This is how Bubble Club came to be.
Since it’s first night in the Rhythm Factory, the club has evolved over the 20 years into London’s most regular inclusive club night, trailblazing and disrupting the mainstream nightlife scene. The venue and many of the staff have all changed, but the rebellious energy remains the same.
Our current venue, 93 Feet East, also has a lot of history. The building is part of the Truman Brewery, which was at one point the oldest brewery in the world. Since 1999, it has become an iconic nightclub venue. Radiohead, Groove Armada, Neneh Cherry and The White Stripes have all played here and we are very proud to call it our home since 2021.
