Just want a good night out? Want your monies worth?
We entered Turnmills friday night 11.30 apparently to see marco V. Doorman attempted conversation-where you from -fine. Luxurious entrance probably a bit warn in light but deceptive compared to the dull usual interior throughout the rest of the club made up by some good lights though. Though they need all the lights they can get once you enter the cave.


Wheni go out I want to try something new maybe order my own drink-drinks- No amaretto, that I wanted.
- No martini Rosso- for my mate
-no Jim Beam- my alternative
If this is supposed to be one of the biggest clubs in london how come I cant get what I want- especially if like most Im saying till dawn.

Then £4 for a pint- however on a Friday night they are out of Draught- so give you a can- and then help yourself to a plastic cup-umm this is what I have been waiting for all week- getting screwed for my hard earned cash.

Main gallery Wicked got packed at 1pm couldn't move, good atmosphere and put your hands up in the air and a decent effort with the lighting. Rest of the club is a bit dull.
Dj should announce their name more so we know its them.
I pay £10 to get in, nolist outside what is on.

Conclusion-who is Turnmills catering for? Tourists? Students? Middleclass? Bums? Snotty teens?
Such a mixed crowd but not always a good thing- people wanting different things. I just hope someone takes notice.

It was my first time here and usually first times are the best. Used to go to fabric- gone down hill now and (less of a fan of D'n'b) for much the same reason- want to charge sky high prices and get nothing for your money.
Don't go to Turnmills if want to be valued.

Looking forward to an awesome night with such a great line up (modular) after being treated like cattle at the door we got in fine, bouncers are proper riot police and make you want to look at the floor as you walk past! Once inside its a proper maze, and the staff inside are pretty useless as to telling you how to get to the bathroom or smoking area...(bathrooms i add that for girls have 30 minute ques outside!), ok fine but the main sucker was that some of the headline acts were in room three, this being one of the smallest at the far back of the club. At one point it beacame ridiculous, it was well over capacity and impossible to move, don't get me wrong i love a busy vibe but this was really uncomfortable, barely being able to squeeze your hands down into your pockets was how packed it was.....so i guess they did the smart thing and filtered everyone wanting to go to that room, once i had left to get a drink they didn't let anyone back in....a bit crap considering you paid good money to enter and should be able to go where ever you want to once in the club. So I spent the rest of the night in room 1 with the headline DJs MSTRKRFT and Busy P which was cool...but it could have been so much better anywhere else!

Turnmills is a dive and the door staff are a bit over the top but if the reason you're going clubbing is to chat and joke with the door staff and marvell in the choice of wallpaper and interior design then i suggest you spend your Friday nights looking around John Lewis show homes or better still Pacha!

If you want to see some of the best DJs in the world, here cutting edge trance music and all round have a good and unpretentious night where it doesn't matter what clothes you're wearing, where you're from or who you're with then may i suggest Turnmills on a Friday night. When the main room gets kicking there is no atmosphere like it.

It often gets compared to Fabric because of the location of the two, but they're totally different. If you're into house and trance it's got to be Turnmills, if you're into Drum n Bass then you'll have a better night in Fabric.

At £15 on the door its a steal, £4 a bottle of cornoa is a bit much but whose drinking alcohol anyway?

If you fancy a taste of the gestapo, go to Turnmills. I was thouroughly shocked by the agressive, insulting and over-the-top behaviour of the door staff. Sure the women with cipboards were lovely, but oh so rapdly downhill did it go after that. After being ordered to stand against the wall and herded in one by one (there was no-one behind us in the queue and, frankly, I'm not surprised) the girl at the till was clearly wired and a total b*tch. There was no call or reason for it. You also get questioned by security staff while moving around inside the club. I thought, once inside, we were going to be stripped naked and deloused or something. Sadly, nothing that exciting - terrible crownd, terrible atmosphere, terrible everything. If you want to know what it was like in Sobibore, go to Turnmills. Otherwise go elsewhere and haved a good time. Totally shocking...

Similar to why people prefer Fabrics to Turnmills I must say I'm the other way round.



I love Turnmills and I've done a lot of clubbing in my time. My first proper clubbing experience started at 17 (1998) when I would hit Freedom at Bagleys every weekend with the odd Raindance thrown in.



Turnmills is the bollocks in my opinion. Has a great atmosphere and the music is out of this world. Love the dirty house and the trance.



Yes, the doorstaff can be a little harsh, especially the first time you go there - if you're an "unknown" to them they will give you the 3rd degree, in fact the first time I went I wasn't allowed in and had to go Fabrics (can't blame them for that, it was about 3am and I was well away).



However back I went next week, in a better state and they did remember me. I apologised and they said it was cool and let me in. From the 2nd visit onwards they ask how I am - but that's more out of friendly curosity as opposed to being difficult.



I think what it boils down too, especially as geographically they're next too each other, is what music you're into. If you like your house and trance Turnmills is the way forward, whereas if you like your D&B off to Fabrics you trot.



Saying that, I'm there purely to (a) have fun with my mates and (b) dance to the music I love. Lets face it, the club could be the best looking thing you have ever been, but if the music isn't your thing, chances are you will have a shit night!

It is possible Turnmills may have just had an off night but this was possibly one of the worst clubing experiences I've had. While the music is undoubtably good, the place is filthy and the punters there seem to be competing in a gurning championship. And to top it off, Turnmills sound system needs updating too.

In my opinion the Turnmills doormen were too much, giving us concentration tests before we'd even got to paying. The club was cool inside, well done out. One thing I didn't like was the lights were on in the end room all night, not strobes or whatever, just ceiling lights. It was like a 16th birthday party. Turn down the lights, Turnmills.


Overall it was worth a 4. Good night out, but with Fabric round the corner, there's no contest for me.

Turnmills is in dire need of a complete refurbishment. This place is filthy - you literally stick to the floors. It is cavernous and completely devoid of any good atmosphere.


The crowd is full of people who didn't want to queue for Fabric, consisting of fat fourty year old men in beaters who have no place in a rave club. Turnmills is way past its prime. Really and truly a place to miss.
