Ginglik

1 Shepherds Bush Green, Shepherds Bush, W12 8PH
Tel: 020 7348 8968

Some insist that this laid-back but energetic club – housed under Shepherd’s Bush Green in a former pool hall – is among the best venues of any size in London. It's certainly worth a trip if you've never checked it out, and it's also the ultimate spot for a late drink after a 'Bushside' gig – better than the Walkabout by a factor of about one million.

Hidden in a subterranean lair, with a few fairy lights draped over the iron railings the only clue, Ginglik confers an instant cool boost on anyone bringing a first-time visitor down the steps to ring the doorbell. When you step inside, though, the experience is a welcoming and relaxed one.

With a music policy that supports interesting new electronica and other music, you’ll hear some challenging bleeps and breaks here, but as the night wears on the vinyl favourites come out and the low ceilings and contented shouts give Ginglik a special euphoric vibe.

Comedy night Laugh harnesses the intimate atmosphere and is well loved by comedians on the circuit. DJs and musicians like a good session here too. The crowd is a healthy mix of local kids who have followed the club since it opened and anyone with a passion for music.

Ginglik is a wicked venue. Unlike Public Life on the East side, they have managed to transform this old public loo into an intimate and inviting late night haunt for party-loving West Londoners.

They have an insanely eclectic taste - you'll get comedy nights, dubstep/techno mash ups, hedonistic 20's swing, showcases... the works!

Also, great organic cider at the bar, lots of odd board games and the occasional movie night.

Ginglik is a really unique venue - and that's reflected in the acts each week! From comedy to indie gigs, it's got a bit of everything. Definitely worth a visit!

A club in a old public toilet? How strange. However they have done a really good job at doing this place up and there is not a urinal in sight, except in the socially place thankfully.

There is always something different going on here and its nearly always good!
