<p>Many Londoners have had a hedonistic night at <strong>The Windmill</strong> at some point in their lives (not that we can remember much about it). The Soho club with a legendary reputation &#8211; think showgirls, DJs, fine dining and late night antics &#8211; has been around so long, it&#8217;s easy to forget how much debauched fun you could have there. Which is why we were sad to hear that, after 100 years in business, London&#8217;s answer to Paris&#8217; Moulin Rouge has gone into liquidation. Windmill quietly shut at the start of September, after rent disputes and legal wrangles following the collapse of entertainment group Big Country, which ran the venue. Whatever your views on nudes, it&#8217;s a cultural landmark with a fascinating history, from being the only club &#8216;never to close&#8217; during The Blitz, to a glam club and strip joint in the 70s and inspiration for the movie <em>Mrs Henderson Presents</em> starring Dame Judi Dench. Farewell The Windmill, you&#8217;ll be missed. </p>

The programme&#8217;s so packed you&#8217;re spoilt for choice, but things that have caught our eye include a <a href="https://chelseaartsfestival.com/event/blue-plaques-talk-back-live/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Plaques Talk</a> (19 Sept; £12) with appearances from Stephen Fry, war reporter Lyse Doucet and photographer Dennis Morris, who will be revealing some of the fascinating stories behind Chelsea&#8217;s iconic blue plaque residents (Bob Marley, who knew?). A screening of movie TWIGGY at Everyman Chelsea (20 Sept; £25), which explore&#8217;s the model&#8217;s life and includes a live Q&amp;A with <a href="https://chelseaartsfestival.com/artist/twiggy-chelsea-arts-festival/">Twiggy</a> and Sadie Frost, also promises to be a great night.

<p>We never thought we&#8217;d pay to be put in the slammer, but <a href="https://fever.pxf.io/yq3GvN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prison Island </a>(opening on <strong>25 Sept</strong>; tickets £27.90), just off the Holloway Road, sounds like it&#8217;s worth a night in the cells. Escape Room fans are going to love it, though there&#8217;s way more to this than simply solving clues to escape the 31 cells. Teams between 2-5 people compete  at games, skilled challenges and even sport (Muddy&#8217;s looking forward to sinking a basketball or two) to gain their freedom after 60 minutes. </p>
