The Underworld

A fun shady place for retro punk music. Beer selection could be much better...

The underworld is one of my favourite venues to visit for intimate rock/metal shows! It really has character and I'll always find excitement knowing I'll be going here to see a band. The capacity is 500, all standing, but it feels much smaller.

It really has character and I'll always find excitement knowing I'll be going here to see a band. The capacity is 500, all standing, but it feels much smaller. There generally aren't barriers at shows, so if you're up front, you're practically touching the band members. There are also small bars located down there that serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The prices however are quite eye watering being in the centre of London. I recall paying £6 something for a Newcastle brown ale! Worth it though if you are seeing a good band. The only thing I'll mention in the negative aspect are the security guards and staff. They can be rude and forceful sometimes.

I have been to some fantastic venues but the Camden Underworld will always stick in my head as one of the best gig venues I have ever been to. Such a small, intimate venue with surprisingly good acoustics. I just wish more of the bands I love played here. When they do I am always straight there.
