Footage filmed inside Watford's former Pryzm nightclub has emerged online, prompting a wave of nostalgia from former club-goers.
The video, shared on TikTok, appears to show someone walking through the vacant venue, more than two years after it closed on New Year's Eve 2023.
Leather sofas, the nightclub's distinctive square dance floor, and stage lighting can all still be seen in the clip, offering a glimpse of a venue that was once at the heart of Watford's nightlife.
The footage quickly attracted attention online, with many users sharing memories of nights spent at the club.
One person commented: "You don't understand how bad I miss PRYZM," with the original user who shared, Urbexhertfordshire, replying: "Same bro."

Another wrote: "This spot brings back so many memories. I was with the second group to ever get in and went in nearly every weekend and after school."
It is unclear how the person who filmed the video gained access to the building.
The building has undergone significant changes since the nightclub closed.
Shortly before shutting its doors for the final time, the property was put up for sale for £6 million following plans to redevelop the site. This was reduced to £4 million for the rest of the unit when most of the ground floor was let to Aldi.

In 2022, proposals were submitted to demolish the building and replace it with a development of 131 flats across blocks of up to eight storeys, alongside a second building containing 16 homes to the rear of the site.
However, the plans were refused by Watford Borough Council in July that year following hundreds of objections.
The former nightclub has since been split into a number of units. Aldi has taken over most of the ground floor, while plans emerged earlier this year for a gym spanning three floors.
Work had previously been seen at the rear of the unit to upgrade the car park and plans also included knocking through the walls of the two units to combine them into one larger space.
In March, floorplans revealed a proposed Anytime Fitness gym spanning three floors, with the area fronting The Parade listed as "under offer". The central upstairs section was advertised for £180,000 per year.
Anytime Fitness, an American chain which has more than 175 UK and Ireland gyms, as well as more than 4,000 worldwide, has since stated on its website that its Watford branch is "opening soon".
