Our Venues
Venn St. Records
78 Venn Street, London, SW4 0BD
Opened in December 2010 to critical acclaim from both industry and consumer media, Venn St. Records sits just off Clapham High St, moments from Clapham Common tube station. The venue capitalises on this super-prime location while managing to retain something of a “discovered” feel. While not at all exclusive, Venn St. Records boasts a clientele that feel a genuine affinity for the venue and its staff. With live music five nights a week, a seven-day 2am license (closed on Mondays) and an enviable location permit, Venn St. Records delivers strong top line sales while preserving the intimate, neighbourhood bar feel.
Northcote Records
8-10 Northcote Road, London, SW11 1NT
Northcote Records opened in June 2013 after 2.5 years of strong trade and positive reputation building at Venn St. Records. A 7-minute walk from Europe’s busiest train station – Clapham Junction – and lavished with multiple bus routes and stops in the immediate vicinity, the venue is ideally located well within the bubble of affluence that is Northcote Road/Battersea Rise. The venue manages to present the same intimate neighbourhood feel as Venn St. Records in a slightly larger environment (1,500 sq ft), with top line sales to match the additional square footage.
Old St. Records
350 – 356 Old Street, London, EC1V 9NQ
With a strong reputation solidified over six years from its sister bars, Old St. Records opened in June 2016 much to Shoreditch’s anticipation. The company’s biggest site to date, spanning across two floors and 4,400 sq ft, Old St. can hold almost double the capacity of the other two venues. Being a short walk from Old Street tube station and Shoreditch High Street Overground, the venue plays host to a mix of party lovers, from local creatives and city workers, to those just visiting the renowned Shoreditch area from out of town and beyond.
Eastcheap Records
20 Eastcheap, London, EC3M 1EB
Eastcheap Records is set to open in the city in December 2019. Situated near Monument tube - on the corner of Eastcheap and Lovatt Lane - the bar will bring great live music on two stages, 2-4-1 cocktails from two bars and delicious sharing food to London’s City partygoers.
