Since the closure of clubland stalwarts The
Cross, The Key, Canvas, Turnmills and The End, pessimists began to see
London's glass as well and truly half empty. But the recent influx of
clubs popping up south of the river - and in particular, like Cable,
underneath the arches near London Bridge - shows that the glass is
clearly more than half full, as a new generation of nightspots rises
from the ashes. Located in the Bermondsey Street tunnel nearby London
Bridge tube, the 1000-capacity Cable is spread over three archways (each
with its own bar) and two dance floors (with a bespoke soundsystem by
European sound specialists Nova). Just short of a full 24-hour licence,
the club opens until 6am on Fridays and Saturdays and has grown both in
popularity and size since opening its doors back in 2009. 2012 saw the
unveiling of the mysterious third room - a sister club named Relay - which comes complete with its own independent line-up of live music, comedy and clubnights.
