Ministry of Sound (MoS) is a nightclub in Elephant and Castle, Southwark, South London, officially opened in 1992 after weeks of 'secret' club nights. MoS initially set itself apart from other London nightclubs of the time with its location well away from London clubland, a non-alcoholic bar and a highly-acclaimed sound system; all features designed to attract an enthusiastic crowd of music lovers. DJs mix live sets on Friday and Saturday each week. The MoS contains two dance floors as well as a Sony PlayStation room and Absolut chill bar. Image File history File links MinistryofSound-logo. ...
