PRYZM Kingston: A Legacy of Nightlife and Red Bull Logistics
PRYZM Kingston, a historic London club, celebrated its nearly 20th anniversary by hosting the latest arrivals. The venue, once a ‘coming of age’ spot, now closes to the end of its 2023/24 season, marking a symbol of its enduring fame. Reflecting on its past, the club, which once graced live orchestras such as Stormzy, Rod Stewart, and Billie Eilish, opened its disco room at 3:30am on June 28 to welcome partygoers in the main room on July 12.
The club’s name and role as a ‘ party bar’ have been highlighted in recent articles, praising its intimate atmosphere and glowing atmosphere for events like Sophie Ellis Bextor’s performance. Nick Wilson, a resident at the time, recalled how PRYZM was a welcome spot for both newcomers and repeat attendees, often going as a new 18-year-old to experience the club’s fostering atmosphere.
PRYZM Kingston’s history is a rich tapestry of genres,演唱ers, and experiences, each evoking memories that resonate with current Londoners. Fromשאלity to Queen’s, the club has brought together artists, fans, and music enthusiasts alike. As the story unfolds, questions about its genre legacy earn attention, as some view it as a ghost story.
Today, PRYZM Kingston is closing its doors to the final online check-out before the 2024 season officially begins. With the club’s neighbours Neos Hospitality resolving its financial responsibilities—purchasing the property and planning a £3 million renovation—they hope to rebrand the venue as Bonnie Rogues, a vibrant night bar, to rebuild its reputation for entertainment.
The shift towards a more adult-focusedTAB highlights the growing divide in London—not just among young artists but across society—around the genre of nightlife. The club’s closing event sets the tone for what could be a new era for evening entertainment, as Londoners grapple with the enduring legacy of its vibrant past.
