We recently explored the different sides of love and romance at Kink in the Archive, an event curated by The London Vagabond.

On Friday 8 April, Kink in the Archive was a celebration of alternative passions. Brought together by The London Vagabond, the Institute was filled with kink professionals, lovers and enthusiasts. Each room held a different kinky delight, whether it was life drawing with the East London Stripper Collective, Shibari rope performances with Anna Bones and Sweet Severine, Anastasiia Fedorova in conversation with Poppy Scarlett, Eva Oh, Stacey Clare and our own Stef Dickers, Klub Verboten in residence, or a display of photographs, magazines and ephemera from our own UK Leather and Fetish Archive, there was much to entice.

Those in attendance were encouraged to wear their kink gear, which led to a warm, fun and expressive atmosphere.

Photographers @kaleidoshoots were on hand to get some great shots from the night. Check out the gallery below.
