28/04/12: We were off to The Hoist last Saturday for its latest concept, Total Fetish. We arrived wet and cold, and couldn’t wait to get inside and changed to embrace the hot action as the steam billowed out of the venue.

An innocuous entrance on South Lambeth Road by day, illuminated with subtle blue lighting by night, gives way to a warren of tunnels, arches, nooks, crannies, industrial metal mazes and more.

The entertainment industry’s award season kicked off last week, but if you think the highlight of the season is The Oscars, you’re way off. Right here, on our very doorstep, The Hoist presents Mr Hoist 2012 – the only contest you need to know about, and the only title worth fighting for. If you haven’t already registered, Mr Hoist’s host Unkut Kurt tells Brent Black why the 2012 contest on Saturday is the only one that matters!

28/01/11: It’s a poorly kept secret here at QX Towers, but if you were to flick through our browser favourites, the words ‘sports kit’ and ‘Lycra’ feature highly, so it was with much anticipation we jogged through Vauxhall last Friday for the re-launch of Sweat in Arch 2 of the Hoist.

26/11/10: Never let it be said we’re not versatile in the places we visit.
