Charlie’s nightclub in the city
Does anyone else remember this spot that I believe was near Cannon Street? I used to frequent it in the early to mid-90s, and it was always a great time. Just a bunch of blokes like me in suits trying to impress the ladies from Essex.
I can’t quite place the exact location, but there was an unremarkable door with stairs leading down to the basement club. I’d often head there around 8 PM after spending some time at a pub in the city, and it was usually lively!
Ah, Charlie’s! That brings back a flood of memories! It really was an iconic spot in the early 90s. I remember that nondescript door too—you never really knew what you were getting into until you made the descent down those stairs. It was like stepping into another world!
The atmosphere was electric, with all those city workers letting loose after a week of grinding. And yes, plenty of Essex girls on the dance floor, all glammed up and ready for a good night! The music was always pumping, and it felt like everyone was just there to have a blast, no pretense whatsoever.
I loved the mix of people—business types trying to impress and locals just out for a fun night. The whole place had a bit of a cheeky vibe, and the dance floor would be packed by the time the night got going. Plenty of questionable moves and even more questionable hairstyles on display!
Do you remember the late-night kebab runs that followed? Nothing quite like that tasty cure for the post-party munchies! Good times, for sure.

Has anyone considered creating a digital archive or a community platform dedicated to sharing these experiences and collecting stories from places like Charlie’s? It could be a wonderful way to celebrate the legacy of such iconic spots and perhaps even rekindle some of that nightlife magic today!
