The Bradley’s article is great.
I remember a place up some stairs there, was quite a small carpeted room and you had to become a member (no joining fee, and they gave you a paper membership card) to be able to drink in there.
Might be this spot I remember, via an un-marked door and up loads of stairs, I think it was on Moor Street next to the Palace Theatre (Les Mis in those days, now Harry Potter)? Above or next to a taxi place? Late 90s. Sold beers and other things through a hatch in a room right at the top. Went a few times when Thursday nights got out of hand!
That’s it!
Do places like this still exist and it’s just that I don’t know about them now? I was in the sauna tonight and two guys were talking about a rave they had gone to in a meat freezer in Walthamstow. I live there and had no clue this kind of thing went on (although I’d occasionally see remnants of raves on the marshes during my Sunday morning long run)
Chill out room?
