The Underworld

Bad Religion, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Placebo, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Suede, The Cranberries, and Soundgarden, to name only a few, all played Camden’s Underworld in the last 30 years!

Barfly/The Monarch

Prior to 2000, the Barfly/Camden Assembly had been known as The Monarch, a pub which had hosted live music gigs since the 80’s and during the 90’s became a regular venue for (mostly Britpop) bands, such as Oasis, Bloc Party, Coldplay to name but a few.

Dingwalls

Dingwalls Dancehall was launched as the newly developed Camden Lock’s flagship venue in the summer of 1973 and it became a prominent and popular London live music venue in the Pub Rock and Punk era of the mid to late 1970s.

The Roundhouse

Hosted by a Grade II listed former railway engine shed built in 1847, in Chalk Farm, The Roundhouse opened as a performing arts venue after twenty-five years of disuse, in 1964. Both the psychedelic and the punk eras have witnessed here some of their most legendary moments.

The Clash’s Album Cover

In late 1976, The Clash shot the front cover of their debut album in Camden.
It was taken in an alleyway by their recording studio – Rehearsals Rehearsals – which was in a rundown British Rail goods yard that’s now part of Camden Market. Much of the album, released in April 1977, was recorded in the venue.
