A vast Gothic church converted into a club and arts space, the 291 Gallery on the borders of Shoreditch/Hackney is the ideal place if you’re a media-guy looking to swig some bottled beers in front of some cutting-edge art installations.

Obviously a space as huge as this is ideal for some live-music and the 291 Gallery puts on a schedule of live events that tick the normal boxes, but sometimes looks outside the norm; including excellent funk and world music nights and ermm, linedancing?
