Question of the week: London has hundreds of venues, for all types of performances. Do you have any particular favourites?"Almost exactly a year after it closed its doors, it still feels a little disloyal to say anything other then the Astoria, but - there's nothing left of that beloved venue but an unfamiliar gap in the skyline around Tottenham Court Road and a lot of good memories.
Thinking of venues for smaller gigs seems less disloyal, so maybe the Scala, in Kings Cross, which makes such fantastic use of its multistory corner space and its faded Edwardian grandeur, and often plays host to bands who could fill much larger spaces wanting an intimate one-off. Just down the road, pub-turned-venue The Water Rats also has it's share of great gigs."
