Ministry of Sound

Ministry of Sound (MoS) is one of the most famous nightclubs in the world of electronic music, said to be to London what Studio 54 was to New York, and whose fame goes far across English borders. Located in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, South London, and officially opened in 1992 after weeks of 'secret' club nights the Ministry had already been packed out through word-of-mouth, Ministry of Sound was one of the key locations in the development of house music and superclubs in Britain in the early 1990s.
