FOLD Reviews Summary

Club Atmosphere

Pros:

• "It’s literally the perfect clubbing experience!"
• "Nice intimate raves."
• "Music was amazing and atmosphere was one of the best I've experienced for a long time."
• "Great club, one of the best places I’ve been to for techno in over a decade of techno raving in London."
• "Atmosphere is non-judgemental and extremely vibey— probably thanks to entry requirements and 21+."
• "The music was very good, from very hard and dirty techno to enjoyable techno."
• "The music is good, people inside are friendly and much more inclusive."

Cons:

• "Tonight was horrible. Did not feel safe at all..90 percent of the crowd was straight but like really straight."
• "The whole place felt so hostile. This is a place where you need to walk around with your (£15) drink completely covered at all times."
• "What a horrible claustrophobic club. Was waiting 1.5 hour outside in the queue at below zero temperature."
• "The music just felt manic and was definitely an example of just because it has a fast bpm, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily great."
• "The music turned too housey by the end of the evening which was disappointing."
• "The music was boring, the toilets very smelly and filthy with cold water in the sink."
• "Wow! What a horrible night."

Staff and Security

Pros:

• "Friendly security and staff."
• "The security staff are proficient and friendly."
• "Superb doorstaff and bar staff, safe space."
• "Security Were Fine, Never See Any Dramas!"
• "Great vibes, killer sound, lovely staff, friendly crowd."
• "The staff and security are exceptionally lovely."
• "Greeted at the door by a friendly bunch of staff and that didn’t end there, all the staff in the club were also friendly and approachable."

Cons:

• "Be ready not to be taken in if you don't have visible piercings tattoos or did not dress queer enough."
• "Super rude and condescending after arriving with some friends from abroad."
• "Expect to not be let in if you “dont look queer” and don’t pass “the vibe check”."
• "Misgendering people on the door, from security and Fold staff, no apologies made and deeply arrogant about it when challenged."
• "Discriminated at the door. I arrived early, stood in line and was told to go home as it's for regulars only."
• "Ironic that one of the clubs values is ‘inclusivity’ yet the two women at the door on Sunday expressed to us nothing but hate."
• "Rudeness, ignorance, arrogance, discrimination ！！！！"

Facilities and Services

Pros:

• "This club is a club, from the people you meet and the sound you hear it takes you from London to where you want to be."
• "No phones allowed, just dancing."
• "My favourite club in London! FOLD is an awesome venue, very underground, dark, sweaty, hot and good vibes - we saw Richie Hawtin there!!"

• "It is bit out the way n a 13 min walk from canning town but well worth it when inside."
• "Very spacious, new and high quality sound system/ selection of music for techno/ electronic lovers."
• "Even the toilets are freaking clean when its freaking 6 am and the night has ended."
