Electric Ballroom

North London


One of Camden’s historic venues, the Electric Ballroom has been entertaining North Londoners since 1938. Many great bands and musicians have played here, from Blur to Paul McCartney, The Clash and U2. There are constantly changing club nights on Fridays, while on Saturdays it hosts Electric Luv, a crowd-pleaser in two rooms with commercial, charts, club classics and R & B.
