It would be easy to assume that London's queer club scene was suffering a crisis. With news of DIY and LGBT venues closing always too soon and too often, it's not unreasonable to think there's nowhere left to party. However, photographer Emily Rose England's work documenting the current club scene and it’s community of creative designers, performance artists, photographers, stylists and more prove otherwise.

Despite the internet increasingly making subcultural movements fleeting moments as opposed to concrete movements, England believes that digital living only benefits the club community, “I think the internet now is like what alternative magazines would have been to kids in the 80s moving from the country to London,” she says.  “You get this insight into these clubs that you know will feel like home to you, only now you can get to know the people involved and feel accepted before you arrive.”

“Subculture has evolved to be less of a music and fashion based movement to more of a collective that generally has its foundations rooted in a specific club.” Citing nights such as Fashion East designer Charles Jeffery's LOVERBOY, Rad Festa and her own night Sassitude as important staples, she makes the case that there's still sold community despite a lack of shared cultural interests. “Everyone supports each other. There have been times in the past when such and such has had issues with someone else because they've wanted to be 'the photographer of the group' and have gotten territorial over that, but these days everyone is there for one another regardless of whether they share the same occupation or title."

After moving to London six years ago to study, England has seen a fair amount of coming and going in the city's nightlife, from the migration from Shoreditch to Dalston to a revolving door of changing faces. But how does she feel about venues continuously having to pack up and call it a day? “People come and go and areas can change seemingly over night. But still that sense of community is always there, we just learn to adapt to change. Communities will always find ways to express themselves and the foreseeable future my life will still be ingrained within the queer community.”
