Dusted Off
Dusted off and ready to shine again

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm too old for Super-clubs.

There is hope for us dusty clubbers yet. Ministry is obviously coming of age along with the best of us, as their four-star, sophisticated re-vamp has created a haven for those of us who like clubbing, class and service.

Book a private table-serviced booth in the new VIP lounge that overlooks the dance floor and get a birds eye view of the punters from above.

Feel like being seen? Check out the Green Room, the private glass box that floats in mid-air.

With a new balcony bar and leather padded loos, a glammed up main bar and added DJ booths, Ministry has grown up and it has never looked so good.

Ministry of Sound, 103 Gaunt Street, SE1
