Description:
The Bali Hai Club was a resturant cum nightclub above the Silver Blades Ice rink in Streatham, South West London.

Streatham Ice Rink opened in 1931 and was instrumental in promoting Ice skating as a pastime in London.

In 1966 The Bali Ha'i opened above the ice rink, due to England's draconian licencing laws it was open until a racy 1 am.

The Bali Ha'I was also a popular venue for upmarket wedding receptions as this period film shows.

In the 70s and 80s the Bali Ha'I was synonymous with Reggae music as it was home to one of the top-ranking sound systems in South London, Soferno B.

The Ice rink and club was demolished in 2011 but was thought to have closed some time before.
