Platform One
Editorial
The crowd here is a little older than your usual clubbing crew, and provides a relaxed and very friendly atmosphere, particularly on weekends when it starts to fill up fast. Spread through the two domed spaces, the club is partitioned inside into a few separate rooms, while a good sound and lighting system shows off the unique architecture. There's also a front bar where you first chill out while you get used to the booming of nearby trains (which can sometimes be heard mixing into the sound system early in the night). The venue then stretches through the lengthy dance floor, where you can easily check out the whole crowd, and then opens onto a rear smoking deck that looks across the river to Southbank.
Platform One is also a short walk across the Queensbridge to Crown Casino and you wouldn't be the first to try your luck at the nearby after one too many cocktails. If you're hosting a party, and they happily do functions, you can even charter a boat to drop you off at the back door. Just remember: booze and boats don't mix, unless you're on one of those party boat cruises, in which case, what are you thinking?
