KOKO

Under various guises this huge Grade II listed Camden venue has played host to rising and falling stars across decades of popular music.

Its 2004 renovation from the Camden Palace into a modern multipurpose supervenue is has seen a resurgence in popularity, evident in recent appearances by Madonna and Price, as well as regular sessions from Club NME.

One of our favourite gig-spots in London for so many reasons, a show here is a treat even when the band is boring your face off, testament to the rare power of this glamorous, hedonistic and wonderful venue.

Great Venue, intimate yet spacious - great views from all levels especially all the way up top.

The best place to see rock bands before they go *stadium*.

There's something about this place that even the mainstream skinny indie kid takeover that is Club NME can't spoil. A normal gig is a treat, but when they open up the top two bars and allow you wander about the various passageways and stairwells, it really does come into it's own.

I've visited Camden bohemoth 'Koko' on two occasions since moving to London - Heat's 6th birthday and Frantic's 11th! As well as the main space for dancing you get plenty of exercise climbing up to the top to look down on the DJ and hard-house gurners below.

Clearly everyone is loving Koko as much as me. Went there last night and i'd nearly forgotten what a stand out venue it is. Being a short arse, I can rarely see at gigs and have got used to becoming overly familiar with the person in fronts plaid shirt whenever i go to see a band. But Koko is perfect for shortees. The balconies enable you to see everything, lean on a barrier, and be within a couple of steps of a bar at all times. It may well be the best live music venue in London....what a claim...
