3. Dingwalls: does life begin at 40?
Did you know Dingwalls is 40 this year? And to celebrate, they’re now launching their very own bangin’ club nights.
The aim? To “bring the nights back to being all about the music again”. Fair enough. Fridays sees mainstream and progressive house with a smattering of drum ‘n’ bass, dubstep and garage across the 3 rooms of the venue (including Lock 17). And resident DJs such as Goldierocks, Union, Dirty Harry and more will host their own special guests in the forthcoming sweltering (we hope) months.
Tomorrow night expect Gabby Sanderson (resident at Propaganda/Ibiza Rocks) who, apparently, is the platter-spinning fave of celebs like Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal and Mark Ronson. Get her. Doors 10pm- 2.30am, £5 advance Dingwalls/Lock 17, Camden Lock, Chalk Farm Road

When Dingwalls opened in 1973 the area round it was known as “Dingwalls” for a couple of years because Camden Market was so small then and the Lock considered nothing special, Dingwalls was the biggest thing there.
The shops around it were mostly junk shops then too (except Compendium book shop), a lot of shops flogged second hand TVs, I remember them because I bought one there.
