I've been to a good few shows at the Koko and have always had a great time. They did a great job in the renovations a few years ago and it looks beautiful in there now. I've always been able to actually see the band I've gone there for, from one or two different levels normally! I recently saw the Living End there, who I haven't seen in over ten years and they were brilliant!]]> Thu, 07 May 2009 16:36:04 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1j7wn7143867617 benantiben 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1f2t98

Great place man, many good times here.

You're never waiting too long for a drink. The majority of staff are quite keen to talk to punters too which is great.

For a theatre, it makes a great night club! I used to go here all the time but i set the fire alarm off once by accident and i haven't been back! The door staff were really freindly though and understood.

The only downside to the venue is that its so easy to get lost in the back corridors. Its like a maze!

But it you manage to stay together as a group, its truely an amazing club!]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:03:26 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1f2t981115245184 SwiSSly friendly hole in pocket young and fun students rock trendy 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1f7on7

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.]]> Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:50:40 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1f7on71548220804 VickieMac live music hole in pocket indie live young and fun rock house sexy cheesy trendy friendly dance cool 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1m7hw7

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¬

Extremely strict on forms of identification so if in doubt, rely on either a passport or drivers licence.

I used to live just around the corner from Koko, and while it is very big, it does get very, very busy...and hot! The drinks are extremely overpriced (£5 for a beer, £6 for a plastic cup of wine!!) It is a great place to go to a gig though, good atmosphere. I would suggest going to the Crescent pub (just across the road) for some pre gig cheap drinks!! Try not to lose your friends as you may never find them, ever again! Other than that, a good venue!

PS! The NME 'club nights' are ok if you're 12 or under!!

Went here for the iTunes festival 2008 - queued outside for a couple of hours and got free tickets to see Pendulum/InMe. Pretty good value. The club is like nothing I have ever seen before - an old theatre with multiple stories so you can see the stage from wherever you are. Brilliant atmosphere.

My only gripe was that there weren't enough toilets (3). Would love to go again.]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:23:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1s0dc760364351 glamgoldchic live music free to get in goth reasonably priced young and fun students rock trendy friendly 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1k5d77

koko is a good night out but pick your night right as it has a night for everything.
the drink in here is at around average london prices of £4-£5 a drink(which to some may seem over the top/crazy)
The atmosphere in here isnt too bad and most people just want a good night out.
you can get home from here pretty easy as there is a range of night buses just out side and plenty of cabs both black cabs and mini cabs ,with mini cab firm straight across the road.
The inside of this building is tastefully done and a good night out can be had by all.
One of the better london clubs]]> Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:51:32 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1k5d771771209581 glenburg1 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/116b67

Koko is a former theater reconverted in a disco. It is located in Camden High street very near to the Mornington Crescent station. It has several floors with bars and some sofas. In the ground floor their is a massive disco ball and the scenario. I have only been there to see concerts and I have to say that it is a fantastic venue for this purpose.
On the other hand the drinks are quite expensive but it is the usual things in night venues.
The price in a weekend is not very expensive and I think is free if you enter before nine pm.]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:42:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/116b672141184573 nispero dance electronica reasonably priced trendy 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1x1as8

I love Koko. I love the fact it's an old theatre. I love the brilliant nights ranging from nights where the Horrors open and then the mood turns cheesey later, to hard house DJ nights with Lisa pinup. I had my birthday party there one year and 40 of us took over the upper bar area.

I also love the fact you can meet men that look like women, people who are totally on it and hard rockers. Everyone goes to KOKO.]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:29:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1x1as81360755329 aimeealewis live music pop goth indie reasonably priced young and fun rock cheesy trendy dance cool 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1c27i8

wo.

i got lost. i got hypnotised by a giant inflatable ball. i refused to purchase more than 1 bottle of beer for £4 (ok as i was already very tipsy). i boogied to some old school tunes and some decent new ones. i had a drunken snog. i was able to walk home (although i didn't).

all in all a good saturday night out.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:31:22 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1c27i81888515288 Buraco cool indie young and fun students rock cheesy friendly dance 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1i05t8

I went on a Friday night and they had great music to dance to and a good crowd (without too many weird men trying it on! lol). I thought the drinks were pretty expensive (£3.40 for a pint of Fosters?!!) but then again, I'm not used to buying my own drinks :D

I love the setup of the place, so many little nooks and crannies to wander around in. It was a bit weird when a band came on and played a gig in the middle of the night but I actually really enjoyed it even though I didn't know their stuff (they were called South Centred).

I wish I lived nearer to this place because then I could go every week!!

Great night out on a friday if you're into indie music and live bands because it's NME night. Only costs £5 to get in but if you aren't there early enough then there is a big queue, the first 100 people get in free. The drinks are a little expensive but there are deals on some drinks. The bars can be quite busy but there are a few bars.]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 10:34:57 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1u74w7277533524 shunter young and fun indie reasonably priced 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1u84m7

Koko is good on a friday night if you are interested in indie music as they have live bands on stage (some signed, some unsigned. and only £5 entry, can have very long queues though.
Also they host the album chart show, where you can go and see the filming of the show with sarah cox]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2007 17:48:42 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1u24i81855614403 rharvey students indie reasonably priced young and fun 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1z9237

Although Koko seems like a good venue. But it's horrible for live shows if you don't get there early. Even though the venue has many levels but there are lots of obstructed views.

The first time I went to Koko was to see Trail of Dead, that was great because I had an AAA pass, and could watch the show behind the madness on stage. Complicated route to get up to the dressing room, it was like a maze itself.

The second time, I was there for another Texan band Explosions in the Sky. We got there as the headliner was about to go on. We saw one sorta empty balcony on the left (facing stage) but there was no way to get to it, we spend so much time trying to find the entrance, we looked and walked through the entire venue and when we find it, the view ain't that great.

So we went back to the main floor, for some reason there were lots of tall guys at the show. Couldn't see anything until the last 2 songs.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2007 13:16:57 +0000 /review/uk/london/club/1p45h7/koko/1z9237287403658 girlswear 51.534698596265 -0.14004980236892
