SESH

Mezzanine - Tooting, located in the vibrant South London district of Tooting, is a contemporary nightclub and live performance venue that has carved a unique identity within the local nightlife scene. Opened in late 2022, Mezzanine was conceived as a response to the growing demand for high-quality, diverse cultural spaces outside of Central London. Housed in a refurbished former cinema near Tooting Broadway, the venue blends industrial chic design with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, providing an intimate yet dynamic atmosphere for both club nights and live concerts.

Since its inception, Mezzanine has quickly become a cultural hub, drawing crowds from South London and beyond with its eclectic programming, which spans house, techno, hip-hop, jazz, world music, and experimental electronic sounds. The club’s commitment to inclusivity and community engagement is reflected in its partnership with local collectives, regular artist residencies, and support for emerging talent. Over time, Mezzanine has undergone minor renovations to expand its floor space and improve acoustics, while preserving the essence of the original architecture.

Its reputation as a forward-thinking venue has distinguished it from many other establishments, contributing to the ongoing cultural renaissance of Tooting and reaffirming the area’s place in the capital’s music map. Notably, Mezzanine has been praised for championing both international acts and fostering grassroots creativity, making it a pivotal showcase for London’s diverse musical landscape. Notable artists who have performed at Mezzanine - Tooting include electronic music pioneer Helena Hauff, UK grime stalwart Novelist, acclaimed jazz ensemble Ezra Collective, techno DJ Marcel Dettmann, Afrobeat innovator Tony Allen (in one of his last UK appearances), local South London hip-hop collective NiNE8, genre-blending DJ Shy One, house duo Chaos In The CBD, and rising pop singer Miraa May.

The venue has also hosted secret sets by Mercury Prize-winners Arlo Parks and Sampha, as well as special collaborative nights with collectives like Touching Bass and Queer Bruk, cementing its status as an influential and much-loved fixture in London’s nightlife.
