Thanks to everybody who came out yesterday to pay their respects and raise a glass to the good times we have all had at 16 Neal’s Yard. Everyone who has passed through that door is part of our story and we couldn’t have done it without you. There was a huge collective history in that building last night with staff old and new and many friends and family. Paul Sunman, the man who started it all in 1986 came to see us which was an amazing surprise. Here is a collection of photos taken throughout the night…

End of an era
Not everyone is pictured here but it is a pretty good overview of a lot of heads who have made Slam what it is today. We want to thank all of you and look forward to serving you from our new address from tomorrow onward. Be sure to pay our new store at 37 Endell Street a visit where the next chapter begins.
