Blitz Club Covent Garden circa 1979-1980

Reconstructing this structure from old photos was a challenge, but I intentionally left things vague since few seem to exist. I attempted to recreate some of the interior using archival photos, but unfortunately couldn't find any suitable ones. However, I did come across dozens of photos of the patrons, known as the "Blitz Kids." This makes sense, given that the building and interior were never the heart of the culture; instead, it was the people and to a lesser extent, the music that defined the 80s. The Blitz Kids would spend weeks preparing outfits and hours on makeup, creating fashion statements that helped shape the era's style. Some went on to successful careers in music and fashion design, solidifying their impact on popular culture. I added some of these photos to a basic interior layout, serving as an echo of memory rather than a faithful reproduction.
