Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance

Dingwalls

Six hundred people in a canal warehouse at Camden Lock, doing this since 1973.

Gigs

The building stored goods come off the Regent's Canal, and it carries the name of T. E. Dingwall, the man who owned it - painted on the outside wall in the way Camden firms painted their names in the nineteenth century, and still visible. It opened as Dingwalls Dancehall in 1973 as the flagship of the newly developed Camden Lock, and has taken the Clash, the Sex Pistols, Ian Dury, Desmond Dekker, Etta James, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Strokes since.

Six hundred in the main room, which is small enough that a band on the way up and a band on the way back down both play it. There is a second room, Dingwalls 2, holding a hundred.
