The best venue for gigs, whether it's electronic music, dance or bands. The huge standing area is on a slope that allows good visibility from anywhere.
The queue to get in is always fast (happened to me in other more prestigious venues to miss part of the show/gig after more than an hour queueing).
A bit on the scruffy side for someone's likings but I find it perfect.
I don't give it five stars just because as any other venue in London the bar has a limited choice of mediocre overpriced drinks.
The area has also become quite nice, with plenty nice bars and restaurants.
