The Fridge

Former nightclub. It claimed to have been the first British club to have such innovations as video screens and a chill out lounge, and was at the heart of the 1980s New Romantic movement. After its closure the premises were renamed Electric Brixton.

The Fridge was founded, in 1981, by Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington, who had run the Roxy during punk music's heyday in 1977. The Fridge closed on 17 March 2010 and has no link with Electric Brixton which opened in September 2011 and now occupies the building.
