KOKO

Story

KOKO is a concert venue and former theatre in Camden Town, London. The building was known as Camden Palace from 1982 until its 2004 purchase and extensive restoration led by Oliver Bengough and Mint Entertainment. Since, the club has been known as KOKO and serves as one of the premier live music venues in London.HistoryThe Camden Theatre opened on Boxing Day 1900. With a capacity of 2,434 it was one of the largest theatres in London outside the West End. The theatre was designed by the prolific theatre architect W. G. R. Sprague. The theatre was opened by Ellen Terry, then the most celebrated actress in England, who had lived in nearby Stanhope Street as a child.The St Pancras Gazette, a local newspaper, commented as follows in a review of the theatre's production of an opera called The Geisha in 1901: "It is a matter of special gratification that the opera was presented at our beautiful local theatre on a scale of magnificence and completeness which would do credit to a West End theatre, but this is nothing new at the Camden Theatre, being rather a continuation of the policy with which the proprietors started their enterprise, viz. to offer nothing to their patrons but standard work, which has received the unmistakable approval of critics and public." On 6 December 1909 it reopened as a variety theatre and became the Camden Hippodrome Theatre. By 1911 films were being presented as part of the programme and in January 1913 it became a cinema known as the Camden Hippodrome Picture Theatre. In January 1928, the theater was taken over by the Gaumont British cinema circuit.

Had a really wonderful experience here. 3 floors of bars which all face the main dance floor which you access on the ground floor. The only thing I will say, is that even though I ordered the exact same shot of tequila at each bar I was charged a different price. So I suggest you check the bill before tapping to pay
I went for Coco&Breezy. Before them very good set of DJs. It got very crowded but I was one of the art boxes where I was on my own. There was a security near me all the time. The security is very high level. The club itself it's beautiful building, well designed and good ventilated. There is a very nice outdoor terrace too. For my stay of 5 hours, I didn't see any dodgy things. Just people dancing and enjoying the music. The dress code, for such a techno club, was very discret and restrained. Recommended even for solo woman experience.
Great music venue. Well located in Camden, positioned opposite Mornington Crescent tube station. Great building with good quality sound system. It has a really intimate feel to the interior, even right at the back, you will be much closer to the stage than most other venues of this size. I have previously only managed to see the Pet Shop Boys at 02, so this was a totally different live music experience, watching them up close, rather than on a screen !
We went to a pride party with a group of friends. The crowd was very mixed which we liked. The door men were very touchy feely and asking if I had anything ‘dodgy’! Not sure what answer they were expecting?! There is a nice balcony and the toilets were very clean. Not sure that for a gay party they needed to enforce the toilet genders! Hey ho each to their own!
The club is great! The venue is amazing like a former theatre and is really beautiful Nice music no dress code They check your bag and touch you at the entrance to control standard for club Drinks are expensive but nothing new Can’t wait to go again!
Went to see d4vd live. It was great. Nice venue and staff are exceptional. A bit crowded but the layout is great so you can find a less crowded spot on the stairs, for example. Merch expensive but overall my experience was top.
I have to feed back the disappointment from tonight's experience. The gig was great but there was nothing to see. I turned up with my PA, not my wife who is currently in intense treatment for a serious health condition. I was hoping for a Friday night break from all the stress. KOKO's "Medic" helped a couple in front of us in the queue. When I presented my ticket and stated I had Epilepsy, the response was "oh, you have PA only".... not acknowledging anything I said. I went in and headed upstairs, with no idea of where to go. I went to the disabled area and again she said I couldn't go in as I had PA only. I explained I was disabled and no-one listened. The only "safe space" was at the top of some stairs where I couldn't move or see anything. After a while I spoke to a member of staff, who listened and promised to find me a safe space. They never returned. 2 Managers were called and, without showing me, said I could go upstairs for the best view. These are my views. The experience tonight shows clearly that hidden conditions should remain exactly that, and that your team don't care. The medic was rushing and fluffing around people who were technically sitting down and all the boxes were slowly filled with able bodied entitled people. Disgraceful. Last time I go. What a shame.
Nice balcony area, and venue was nice, espically the disco ball. Drinks were kinda expensive, but that is expected. Would recommend to go early in order to get a good view. Saw Faye Webster and she was amazing.
This place was a great discovery. It's kind of sexy, different and original. The sound system is awesome and it's also a massive place ! You feel like walking all around discovering the different areas. Great place for concerts/ parties.
Went to see Only The Poets! Great venue for a concert. A/C on all the time which is a plus in a close space and great environment. Nice bar with a lot of option, only pizza was available. Have a bite around before you go in. Lots of options nearby.
