A photographic guidebook to the iconic small lost live music venues of London, as they are today.
​
Did you get tinnitus from too many gigs at The Bull & Gate? Spent your youth propping up the bar at The Marquee Club? Or witness early gigs by rock legends on Eel Pie Island? Then this book is for you!

Paul Talling, author of Derelict London and London's Lost Rivers (Penguin Random House) takes a look at some of London's much missed gig venues from the post-war period to the present day. Featuring photos, adverts & tickets, this book is a portal to a less homogenised London, taking you back to the city's halcyon days of jazz, blues, folk, rock, punk, indie and more. Paul turns his attention to the lost and derelict music venues of London, focusing on the smaller, club-sized venues. A second volume is planned which will cover larger lost venues and a few smaller ones not covered in the first volume,.

This book takes a look at some iconic venues of the last 60 years with images, flyers and modern day photos of what they are now.
