This is one of my favourite venues in London. It's huge with three(ish) glamourous floors of guilding and plush red curtains and seating. It's great!

I love it best for live bands. The sound is mediocre but the atmosphere is fab. The HUGE disco ball is lots fun and adds a whole lotta sparkle!

Downside, the drinks cost a BOMB!! Wayyyyy too overpriced even for London. So bring your cutest piggy bank.This is one of my favourite venues in London. It's huge with three(ish) glamourous floors of guilding and plush red curtains and seating. It's great!

I booked tickets to see Nitin Sawhney play live alongside a number of multi-talented musicians from around the world. The tickets were not cheap at Â£35.00 each, but it was an experience I will not forget. The venue is quite small, but this gives a really cosy feel, especially you will never be more than a few meters away from the stage - keeping you close to the musicians.

A meal could have been included for around another Â£20.00 per ticket, but this option had sold out a number of weeks before the event had taken place. This would have been an excellent way to enjoy the performance, as the dining area is set on the first floor, overlooking the stage. However, I certainly wasn't disappointed with dinner tickets being sold out, as I was able to get very close to the front of the crowd and really appreciate the live show.

Hmm. I'm hard-pressed to come up with something of substance to say about this bar. It's decent enough, with lots of seating and a couple of comfortable couches that we quickly grabbed, the music was okay if a bit too loud for a Sunday afternoon, and the cocktail list was of your standard mojito/various shots-London bar menu.

Apparently they have a variety of music on different nights, and being Camden, the crowd ranged from Goth-kid to trendy media-type out for a stroll on a nice Sunday, but there wasn't anything that struck me as overly special about the place.

A word of warning though - stay away from the food menu. It's vile. I hadn't eaten all day and decided to order something from the seemingly too good to be true, it was so cheap, menu - but I ended up with a hamburger burnt to a crisp, and pale, white, soggy fries. I was so disappointed, but I ended up getting my meal for free.

It's perfectly acceptable for a drink, but since you are so spoiled for choice in Camden, I would head to the Lockside Lounge instead, which is right across the Lock and a much nicer venue and infinitely better music.
