SESH

10 Below, located at 1 Southend Road, Beckenham BR3 1SD, is a vibrant nightclub that has played a notable role in the local night scene of South East London. The venue was established in the early 2000s, transforming the lower-ground level of the iconic Bridge Bar building into a contemporary nightlife destination. Over the years, 10 Below has built a reputation as one of Beckenham's trendiest clubs, drawing crowds with its intimate basement vibe, energetic dancefloors, and diverse music programming.

Catering to a varied audience, the club has been immersed in the community’s evolving nightlife, serving both as a lively late-night party spot and a hub for local musical talent. Structurally, the club occupies what was formerly a storage and utility space beneath the historic Bridge Bar, and while the main above-ground bar has seen renovations and branding shifts over the decades, 10 Below has remained a consistent feature, with only minor refurbishments to enhance sound, lighting, and décor in response to changing tastes and safety standards. Its cultural significance is especially tied to its role as a launching pad for grassroots DJs and artists, fostering emerging talent through themed nights, DJ competitions, and occasional live performances, which have kept it relevant as larger music venues in the area have come and gone.

Notable artists who have performed or DJed at 10 Below include international talents such as Jaguar Skills, DJ Luck & MC Neat, and Artful Dodger, alongside respected UK garage, house, and drum & bass acts. The venue has also featured performances by local luminaries like Beckenham’s own Andy Galea, the up-and-coming collective South London Groove, and rotating residents who reflect the diverse, multi-genre musical landscape for which 10 Below is known.
