If your New Year’s resolution was to behave, forget it. Recon London is back on Saturday 10 January, and E1 is about to be filled with more leather, rubber, sweat and mischief than your group chat can handle.
Recon’s legendary London takeover always pulls in a global crowd of kink lovers, fetish fiends and curious first-timers who fancy dipping a toe, a hand or… other bits… into the scene. Whether you’re a die-hard gearhead or simply enjoy a night that’s a little darker, a little louder and a whole lot filthier than your usual Soho bop, this party is the one that kicks the year into gear.
What to expect
According to the event listing, this is a full-scale Recon experience, which means the dress code isn’t a suggestion; it’s the whole point. Leather, rubber, sports kit, fetish gear — if it zips, straps, buckles or hugs the body in ways your mum doesn’t need to know about, you’re on the right track.
Expect multiple rooms, heavy beats, world-class DJs and a crowd who came to play. Every year sells out because Recon know exactly how to build an atmosphere that’s sweaty, immersive and electric from the moment doors open. And with E1 hosting again, you get the industrial, after-hours feel that London’s kink community thrives on.
