Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Heaven, opened in 1979, was Europe's largest gay nightclub and briefly a legal loophole—dancing was still technically banned in London pubs.
Graham Chapman's appearance was uncredited; he was only months from publicly coming out himself. His boyfriend David Sherlock was at this party.
