The Glove That Fits is a celebrated nightclub located in Hackney, East London, United Kingdom. Since opening its doors in late 2018, the venue has established itself as a vibrant hub catering to underground music communities. Housed in a modest yet characterful space beneath a parade of shops on Maret Street, The Glove That Fits was born from the ashes of previous bar ventures and quickly found its identity as a home for lovers of cutting-edge electronic music.

With a capacity of around 110, the venue is renowned for its intimate atmosphere, high-spec sound system, and open-minded programming, which have helped it punch above its weight in London's crowded nightlife scene.
