Citorah says

Ministry of Sound in Elephant & Castle has been going since 1991 and still has one of the best sound systems in the country in its main room. More commercial than Fabric on some nights, serious on others.

From London Nightlife Guide 2026: Where to Actually Go Out, under “Ministry of Sound — the survivor”.
