Turnmills is World renowned for its first class laser show. |
Turnmills is a London nightclub on the corner of Turnmill Street and Clerkenwell Road in the London Borough of Islington.
The club was the first to obtain a 24 hour dance licence in the UK spearheading the move to all night clubbing in the 1990's. It is the home of Trade, the first after hours club in Britain. Pete Doherty is often known to frequent here, as he often records material in the Turnmills recording studio. It is also owned by the family of well-known dj Tall Paul. In recent years it has had an unfortunate reputation for violence, including the fatal shooting of two gang members as they were leaving.

The club also hosts 'The Gallery' on friday nights, attracting the biggest names in progressive house, trance and techno, such as Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Judge Jules. Residents include Tall Paul, who also co-promotes the night.
