Club Description
Very well designed!  The 750 capacity club is spread about so well, that it seems much smaller and close-nit than it actually is - there's a superb sound system and wonderful lighting, plus the DJ box is in the middle, so you can actually wave at the DJs as you walk to the bar if you so desire.  Only problem is the low roof collects all the sweat and showers it back down on you as the night progresses!  Look out for the Gallery artwork on the wall and the giant mirrorball.

Capacity
750

Popularity Of The Club
Packed to capacity - get there early or become a member to avoid the massive queues.

Drugs Problem?
No - refreshing to find a club without a drugs problem - you can never completely eliminate drugs from a club (and many readers will probably not want that to happen anyway) but its great to go to a place where people are doing as best they can to prevent drugs.

Nature of clubbers
Very good clubbers, who are completely up for it all night long, and are only there to dance.

Cost
£10

Opening/Closing time
22:30 - 07:30 Superb - a decent club which opens 'til a reasonable hour

DJs
Tall Paul is a resident, so what more do you want - he is DJ of the year after all - all the top names regularly feature including Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules and Brandon Bloc

Dress code
Make an effort, baby!  You so won't get in in jeans and trainers

Toilets
Small, Clean, Not crowded

Drinks
Water - £2 per 500ml.   Beer - £2.50 per pint.  They have Stella on tap!!  They have Stella on tap!!   THEY HAVE STELLA ON TAP!!  Not only do they have Stella on tap, but its not much more than it costs down your local.  To be honest though, if you're up for 9 hours of clubbin, then you'll probably not want to get slaughtered - so water and Red Bull are your saviours.  The generous Gallery promoters also provide giant bowls of lollypops - completely free!

Age In General
Young - early 20s form the majority of the clubbers

Bouncers
Perfectly fair

Food
It's London!  You're leaving @ 7.30.   You're hardly gonna find it 'ard to find food, are ya?

Alternative Clubs
It's London!  You're hardly gonna find it 'ard to find an alternative, are ya?  Though If you're looking for a London house club of the same calibre as The Gallery on a Friday night, the only place is the Ministry, to be honest.
