In the mid 1970s Tottenham Royal, together with the nearby Charlie Brown's nightclub, plus other clubs such as Crackers in Wardour Street, were all part of the up-and-coming British disco and Southern Soul dance scene, with disco music interspersed with the swing music of Glenn Miller. This was a real multi-cultural experience with white and black youths attending just for the music and to dance. The 1980s saw a transformation into a string of new identities including the Mayfair Suite, the Temple, the United Nations Club, and the Zone The cavernous dance hall was demolished in 2004 to make way for much-needed local housing.
