London Fetish Weekend 2019, held between October 3 and 6, managed very successfully to offer something for a wide range of fetish tastes, from hardcore BDSM to hardcore fashion and all points between.

Fetish Theatre’s two-night run at Hen & Chickens Theatre, opening the programme on Thursday 3, combined live performance of new work The House with video highlights from the first London Fetish Film Festival curated by Venus Raven.

Friday 4’s Kinky Drinkies at Bishopsgate Institute Library’s Fetish Archive brought together people from the BDSM, fetish and alt-fashion sides of the scene with an interest in the history of our modern scene, particularly London’s (substantial) part in it.

Serious BDSMers thus inclined were then able to put theory into practice later the same evening at the Absolute Mischief Play Party at a secret London Bridge venue.

Saturday 5 daytime provide the first of two shopping days courtesy of LAM (London Alternative Market) at its regular Revolution Bar venue. Vendors represented many of the UK’s best-known BDSM brands, as well as a respectable complement of fetish fashion labels.

LAM also hosted the première on Saturday of the LFW 2019 fashion video made by Daniela Fanetti (aka Elegance N Violence) and Hyder Images featuring LAM exhibitors — which you can watch below!

A Saturday evening cabaret show, also hosted by LAM at Revolution, was followed by the main event of the weekend: the LFW 2019 Doll House Ball, hosted by Team Absolute and ZDR Events at Scala.
