The three-room Farringdon institution whose bass-loaded "bodysonic" floor you feel through your feet β come Saturday for house, and bring your ID.
Saturdays are the house night: house, techno and disco across three rooms, each with its own sound system. Sundays host the long-running WetYourSelf residency (underground house & techno). Fridays are FABRICLIVE β bass-driven (drum & bass, grime, dubstep, bassline, breakbeat, UKG), not house β so if it's four-to-the-floor you want, come on a Saturday. Room One's "bodysonic" floor has ~400-450 bass transducers built in that push low end up through your feet.
- DOOR
- Not a selective or guestlist door β no fashion vetting, no appointment. But since the 2016 licence reinstatement the entry is strict in a different way: valid photo ID for everyone (passport, national ID card, driving licence or PASS-hologram card only β no ID, no entry), a thorough pat-down and bag search, and a zero-tolerance drugs policy. Crucially, there is NO re-entry: once you step out, you're out for the night.
- DRESS
- Casual β jeans, trainers, t-shirts and caps all fine; no suits, no flags/team colours, no glow/day-glo wear
- PHOTO
- Assume no photos on the floor β many clubs cover phone cameras.typical
- AGE
- 19+
- CASH
- typically Β£10-25 (Sundays cheaper, ~Β£8-10; marquee Saturday headliner nights can run higher), as of 2026 Β· card / cash
- GETTING IN
- Buy in advance β Saturday house nights and big names sell out. Tickets are on fabriclondon.com and Resident Advisor (ra.co/clubs/237), plus DICE, Skiddle and See Tickets. Get to Farringdon (Elizabeth line makes it easy from Heathrow/central), and bring physical photo ID β a phone photo won't do. Arrive earlier rather than at 1am if you want the full three rooms; queues build on marquee nights. Remember: no re-entry, so sort out cash/coat/smoking before you go in. Sundays (WetYourSelf) are cheaper and a softer intro if it's your first fabric.

fabric β the definitive go-info
Is it house? On Saturdays, yes β that's the night for house, techno and disco. fabric is London's three-room, purpose-built institution, tucked under the old Smithfield Market arches in Farringdon since 29 October 1999. Its calling card is Room One's "bodysonic" dancefloor: roughly 400-450 bass transducers built into the floor push low frequencies up through the soles of your feet. Three rooms across two floors, each with an independent rig, ~1,600 capacity.
The music, by night. Saturdays are the house/techno/disco night. Sundays run the long-standing WetYourSelf residency (underground house & techno) β cheaper and more low-key. Fridays are FABRICLIVE, a different animal: bass-driven drum & bass, grime, dubstep, bassline, breakbeat and UKG. If you specifically want four-to-the-floor house, don't turn up on a Friday.
The door & how to get in. This is not a selective, fashion-vetting or guestlist door β anyone with a ticket and ID gets in. What's strict is everything else, per the conditions of its 2016 licence reinstatement: everyone needs valid photo ID (passport, national ID card, driving licence or PASS-hologram card β no ID, no entry), there's a thorough pat-down and bag search, and a zero-tolerance drugs policy. There is no re-entry β leave and you're done for the night. Dress is genuinely casual (jeans, trainers, caps fine; no suits, flags/team colours or glow wear). Buy advance tickets via fabriclondon.com or Resident Advisor (ra.co/clubs/237) β Saturday and big-name nights sell out; DICE, Skiddle and See Tickets also carry them.
Practical. Age 19+ (standard UK clubbing age). Nearest station Farringdon (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Elizabeth lines β the Elizabeth line makes it painless from Heathrow and central London); Barbican is also close. Entry runs typically Β£10-25 as of 2026, with Sundays notably cheaper (~Β£8-10) and marquee Saturday headliners higher β treat that as a range and check the listing. Card and cash accepted, but sort cash before you enter (no re-entry).
Worth it? Who for. Yes β it's a bucket-list London club and, uniquely, one you feel physically through the bodysonic floor. It's best for people who want the music and the room, not a scene-y VIP night; the door is welcoming but the search-and-ID reality is real, so come sober-minded and early. First time? A cheaper Sunday WetYourSelf is a soft landing; a headline Saturday is the full-force version.
