Now, it gets a new life as the [Museum of London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grant-museum-of-zoology) recently announced that the newly renovated space will be the first-ever [nightclub-in-residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyugati-lounge). It will be the first in an ongoing series of projects that the museum has in work to highlight the many different subcultures of London culture itself. To celebrate the new collaboration, artist Tai Shani performed at the venue as visitors entered the space to one of the most storied buildings in the city. Next year, the museum will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Fabric London with a special event as well, hoping to curate a festival in 2025 around the new building.
