Members Preview: Blitz Join us on Friday 19 September 2025 and be the first to explore a sensory extravaganza of music, flamboyant fashions, and pioneering art, film and graphic design in our latest exhibition Blitz: The Club that Shaped the 80s 20 SEPTEMBER 2025 — 29 MARCH 2026 Delve into the music, fashion, and design stories that shaped Blitz – the club, the people, and the movement that transformed 1980s London style. What to expect: Behind a door in a Covent Garden side street, the Blitz club was the place where 1980s style began. Inspired by everything from David Bowie, the punk and soul scenes, to continental cinema and cabaret culture, the brightest young talents of their generation came together to revolutionise fashion, music and design, turning a niche club night into a launchpad for global superstardom. Forty years after its closure, visitors will be able to revisit the trailblazing club's history and atmosphere with a sensory extravaganza of music, flamboyant fashions, and pioneering art, film and graphic design. Developed in collaboration with some of the leading ‘Blitz Kids’ who were there, it will feature garments, drawings, photographs and videos from the Blitz club and beyond, featuring items that have never been on public display.
