SESH

Below Stone Nest is a distinctive nightclub and performance space located in the heart of London, United Kingdom. Housed beneath the historic Stone Nest building, a former Welsh chapel dating back to the late 19th century, the venue embodies a unique blend of architectural heritage and cutting-edge nightlife. The origins of the club trace back to the ongoing trend of repurposing old religious and community spaces as hubs for alternative culture, providing an atmospheric and intimate setting for avant-garde music lovers and artists alike.

Since its founding, Below Stone Nest has developed a strong reputation for pushing the boundaries of London’s nightlife by offering a curated mix of live electronic music, experimental performances, and late-night DJ sets, all within the venue’s shadowy, arched cellars. The club’s cultural significance is drawn from its commitment to artistic innovation, often collaborating with local visual artists and hosting multidisciplinary events that blur the lines between clubbing, art, and performance. Unlike many venues that have faced frequent closures or relocations, Below Stone Nest has maintained its original subterranean location, benefitting from sensitive restoration work that has preserved its haunting character while introducing modern acoustics and lighting.

The result is a space that feels both reverent and radical, regularly attracting a diverse crowd of creatives, music connoisseurs, and London’s nocturnal explorers. Notable artists who have performed at Below Stone Nest include acclaimed international acts such as Actress, Kelly Lee Owens, and Laurel Halo, alongside celebrated local talents like DJ Paulette, Ben UFO, Shy One, and Loraine James. The venue has also hosted special performances by collectives including The London Contemporary Orchestra and multidisciplinary showcases curated by Unsound Festival and Boiler Room, solidifying its status as a hotspot for forward-thinking sonic experiences.
