Hello I'm Doktor, I'm from Italy, I came in London 2 month ago (I live in London now...) but I didn't found any information about metal underground gigs into metal pub in London.

Can you give me any information, web site...about gigs live in metal pub in london???
Do you know if there are metal pub that offer live gigs of thrash metal??

thanks very much

Hey bro,

There's a few metal places you can drink in London.

General Camden area:

- The Hobgoblin; used to be called the Devonshire Arms and used to be a Goth pub that denied access to people in football colours, ha ha. Nowadays, it plays music across the metal genre, has monthly extreme nights but I can't tell you what day because I don't know to be honest!

- Purple Turtle; Regular shows at this music venue, lots of thrash nights and extreme nights.

- The Unicorn; Upcoming FREE music venue in Camden, generally live shows, and alternative music, recently under new ownership and going in the right place.

- The Gaff; Great bar in Holloway Road, short bus away from Camden, lots of gigs, and a place you can drink even when there isn't a band playing (not just a venue) plays a good mix of metal/punk/etc

Central London:

- the Intrepid Fox; You must know this place..? It's by Tottenham Court Road; A pub with 2 levels, I can't honestly remember what it's like in terms of music as I don't really go there, but it's based in London and is quite cool.

- Garlic and Shots; near Soho, great place to start a night and get leathered with AWESOME shots!

I don't really know a lot about South London but the ones I do know are:

The Fighting Cocks; cool little bar in Kingston, last time I went there were lots of hot ladies.. ha ha

For information about gigs, definetly check out our very own Dazza's " New Metal Army"

Also there's a great music gig guide called .. .'Extreme London Metal Militia' based on Myspace, between those two you won't miss a gig!

I hope that's helped! The information might not be entirely accurate and I've probably missed out on some but I'm doing this as quickly as I can, ha ha.

Also, in the Camden area you have The Worlds End with the Underworld venue attached.
You've also got The Monarch not too far past that.

In Holloway (near The Gaff) you also have The Big Red, which is a nice friendly pub.

Another Central London place Faraz missed out was the Crobar, which can be abit of a squish on weekends but its a great hang out with some awesome people there...its primarily a whiskey bar though so dont go there expecting draft beer! Also has one of the best juke boxes in london.

In South London you've got places like The Grovsener etc, but again not too familiar with the South London circuit.

The main happenings for bands is gonna be in North London.
For general drinks Central London.
