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 and ranked World Number 2 in 2009, 2010 and 2017. Fabric was closed down and its license was revoked by Islington Council in 2016, after two drug-related deaths at the club.

Fabric has three separate rooms with independent sound systems; two of the rooms feature stages for live acts.

Fabric was put on the market on 1 June 2010. On 24 June it was announced Fabric was no longer in administration and had been bought by the Fabric Life consortium. On 7 September 2016, after a review into the drug-related deaths of two people in the club, Leslie appeared in front of the licensing board to defend Fabric's way of handling drugs and drug dealers at their club. Fabric's licence was revoked and it was announced that the venue would be closed permanently. A campaign was launched to secure the club's future, backed and p
