Rivoli Ballroom: 50s Ballroom
Summary
🍅 The sauce: The Rivoli Ballroom is the only intact 1950s ballroom remaining in London. The ballroom itself is gorgeous and it is a very unique experience, after all it is a 1950s intact ballroom. There are various experiences you can attend as they have live music nights, movie and disco nights.
The historic building is great and it deserves a visit because of that, however the place only accepts cash and has very little air con and can get a bit hot. The place itself needs an update to amenities and stuff but the 50s vibe is definitely there if you wanna see it.

‘‘The Rivoli is a journey back in time. The venue is broadly unchanged from how it was in the late 50s early 60s. It is now filled with young and old who just want to have a dance and let their hair down…’’

What we think: The ballroom seems to be more of a nostalgic place for the older generation, while it gets mixed reviews from the younger audience. Nevertheless all agree that it is the authentic 1950s intact ballroom.
