Bagley's was a large warehouse music venue, that was located in Kings Cross, London, that was officially opened in 1991. In 2003, it was renamed Canvas. Club nights hosted at the venue included Freedom, Philip Sallon’s Mud Club and the Pussy Posse Party.
Bagley's was named after a Yorkshire based company, who once made glass bottles in the warehouse. The club started during the era when the UK government began to crack-down on outdoor illegal raves, that culminated in the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which shut down these illegal raves.
The venue included multiple rooms and had an outdoor terrace area. Bagley's also hosted a number of secret shows for musicians such as Prince, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and the Rolling Stones. The venue closed at the beginning of 2008, after hosting a final New Years Eve rave. Bagley's was London's largest club.
The clubs address was Kings Cross Freight Depot, York Way, London N1, in an area that now forms part of Kings Cross Central. The location is known as Coal Drops Yard. The site was subject to re-development as part of a large regeneration project.
