Rivoli Ballroom

The Rivoli Ballroom is the only intact 1950s ballroom remaining in London, England.

Tina Turner's Private Dancer video was shot there, as was Elton John's 1983 video I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. Other notables include rock band Oasis, pop group S Club 7, singer Charlotte Church, fashion model Kate Moss It's more usual to find jive, rock and roll and swing bands making use of the ballroom, with occasional big name bands such as Florence + the Machine who played in 2009.
