I went here for the first time as part of the iTunes Music festival. The space is versatile and I believe the stage is probably easily viewable from all areas. The womens toilets were nice and clean although the layout seemed slightly confused a points (especially when they were ushering everyone out of the building.)

The lighting was fine but the sound did falter and there were a few difficulties. Iâ¬"ve been told by many that the bar is over-priced, they are reluctant to even give you tap water and as posted below/quote from a friend, â¬Sthe NME club nights are really shit and truly a last resort for a night out.â¬

The Underworld is a popular rock club beneath the Worlds End pun in Camden Town.
I first started going here ( i am ashamed to say) when i was underage as it was relatively easy to get in although nowadays they are much more strict, and really enjoyed it. It has two bar areas and and a fairly large dance floor on a slightly lower level with a stage for when bands play.
Friday nights are sort of 80's cheese nights and Saturdays are more "normal" if you can say that!?
There is a huge range of different people that go to the underworld from young 18 year olds to aging rockers.
During the week, they have regular band nights which include some pretty famous names in the past such as Queens of the Stone Age, the Offspring and Placebo as well as undiscovered band nights.
The atmosphere is always pretty good with some moshers at the front but there is always space for the more subdued fan.
Drinks prices are what you can expect in Camden with around Â£4 a pint but the bar is not usually too busy.
The Underworld is certainly and experience to be enjoyed but not for the delicate!
