Fabric (stylized as fabric) is a nightclub in Farringdon, London, England. Founded in 1999 on Charterhouse Street opposite Smithfield Market, the club was voted World Number 1 Club in DJ Magazine's "Top 100 Clubs Poll" in 2007 and 2008[2] and ranked World Number 2 in 2009, 2010 and 2017.[3][4]

Fabric was closed down and its license was revoked by Islington Council in 2016, after two drug-related deaths at the club. Following a campaign to save the club[5] it was permitted to be reopened with increased security and restrictions.
