New Venue Alert: The Flowerpot opens in Camden 3 December and it will be glorious

It was a sad day for London music last month when Kentish Town venue The Flowerpot closed after their lease was sold out from under them.

Unusual for a successful pub, the Flowerpot is run as a collective by the staff. Even more unusual, they had live music, good live music, every night. Unknown by London standards unusual: the gigs were free — they made their money, and the band’s fee, from the bar.

Minutes ago, Snipe learned that The Flowerpot will be taking over the Tommy Flynn’s space at 55 Camden High Street and opening next Friday, 3 December.

It’s a great space, and the staff have been renovating it for a week to Flowerpot standards. We look forward to it.
