Rough Trade East

Whereas some London record stores are struggling, this veteran indie-music specialist seems to have gotten the formula right—in 2007 it opened this spacious new East End branch that's as much a hangout as a shop, complete with a stage for live gigs, a café, and free airport access. Since opening Rough Trade East have won many awards including Music Week's Retailer Of The Year 08 & 09, NME say"it's the best record shop in the world".




Little Angel Theatre

The Little Angel Theatre

The Little Angel Theatre is one of three building-based puppet theatres in England , specialising in Puppetry for both children and adults for nearly 50 years. There is an onsite workshop where the puppets are hand carved for all our shows. Our shows are all year round which are designed for both adults and children.

We also have a thriving educational department who host puppetry workshops and classes for teachers, adults and children.

Royal Sovereign

The Royal Sovereign

The Royal Sovereign is a community pub in Clapton, E5, run for the past two years by two local people, Simon and David. In those two years it has gone from a run down dingy pub about to close forever to busy local and lively music and gig venue.

There are regular events, including bands and DJs at the weekend, quiz nights, and during the summer regular BBQs in the large beer garden. It is popular with families, and children are made very welcome. Food is served in the form of delicious gourmet 'pieminister' westcountry pies, and there are plans for a summer salad menu.

vortex jazz club review for Live At Your Local Venue s page

The Vortex Jazz Club

Established in North London over 20 years ago, the club has become a beacon for progressive jazz in the capital.

The programme of live music seven nights a week features sounds from across the breadth of the jazz idiom; from contemporary folk and world music to dub and electronica.

While we place a strong emphasis on young local talent with bands such as Ma, Outhouse, and Led Bib, we also regularly produce nights with leading world-class artists from both the UK and overseas: Kenny Wheeler and Evan Parker, New York’s Tim Berne and Jim Black, and European free-improv players such as Peter Brotzmann, Mats Gustafsson and Paal Nilssen-Love.
