The Ballroom

The Electric Ballroom has existed in Camden Town, North London for over seventy years. The establishment has served as a venue for many rock bands through the years. On weekends the building has an indoor market with about fifty stalls selling a variety of fashion, lifestyle and music related goods. The Friday club night is Sin City, playing rock, and alternative genres with cage dancers and occasional stage performances. The Friday club was formerly goth night Full Tilt. However, the two events were run by different companies. On Saturday, "Shake" plays mostly pop and dance from the 70's onwards, as well as modern hip hop and RnB.
