Camden Roundhouse Tips
Discussion
Hi
Got a gig coming up at the Camden Roundhouse (Main Space).
Never been to CR before so would be grateful for any advice/info. on:
-Best time to start queuing? Doors open at 7. Main band around 9.
-How crowded does the Main Space bar get during the gig?
-How quick can you get out after the gig finishes @11 (including getting coats)? Last train just after 12 so want to know if I need to leave early.
-Car parking - may need to drive if I can't get the last train. Any known spaces?
Cheers

You can easily park up in Sainsbury's or there is pay and display/on street parking after 6.30 outside on a single yellow. I would drive myself, but I am only half an hour away through north London.
Unfortunately looks like the car park is closed Sunday evenings.Thanks anyway.
I've always found the Roundhouse to be a really excellent venue, one of my favourite to be honest.
The bars are pretty large and stretch across the back of the main space, it's never a scrum to try and get a beer. Excellent choice and not exorbitantly expensive either.
Access in and out of the venue is very good and I wouldn't worry about missing the band by being stuck in the queue to get in, never a problem. I haven't used the cloakroom on my visits there but can't remember queues ever being massive on the way out for them, the whole place is well organised and staffed.
I haven't ever driven there and always get the tube whichever way I've been coming in from, Chalk Farm tube is a couple of minutes walk (if that) from the venue. Don't think on street parking would be easy but never tried so you may be lucky, one of the "park on my driveway" websites may be worth trying? I'm sure the venue curfew is 2300, seems to be enforced on bands as well so getting a 2359 last train should be easily feasible.
Enjoy, it's a great venue.

Went last night and agree, it is a great venue. Stunning the first time you see the Main Space.
The band (Thievery Corporation) was amazing, had a space right at the front, and even managed to get the last train home.
All in all a fantastic night.
