Crowning a hill in north London with sweeping views across the capital, Alexandra Palace has served for a century and a half as a grand venue for entertainment, recreation and public gatherings, earning the affectionate nickname Ally Pally. First opened in 1873 as a People's Palace intended to bring culture and leisure to ordinary Londoners, it was destroyed by fire within days and rebuilt and reopened in 1875, a pattern of disaster and revival that has recurred through its history, most serious.....

Spread across some eighty hectares of slopes and woodland in north London, Alexandra Park surrounds the great hilltop palace of the same name and provides one of the city's most expansive areas of green space combined with far-reaching views. Laid out in the Victorian era alongside the palace it was designed to complement, the park rises steadily to a ridge from which the skyline of central London, more than ten kilometres away, unfolds across the horizon, taking in landmarks from the financial .....

Upper Street is Islington's long spine of bars, restaurants, and theatres running north from Angel, and this stretch of north London is where Be At One placed one of its cocktail bars. Part of a chain that operated a particularly strong cluster of sites across central London, the Islington bar follows the group's drink-led model, trading on cocktails and a party mood rather than a dining menu. The business was started in May 1998 by Steve Locke, Leigh Miller, and Rhys Oldfield, three bartenders.....

Built on newly repurposed land directly behind the Electric Ballroom on Kentish Town Road, Camden Courtyard opened in the summer of 2024 as an open-air space for drinking, dining and dancing in one of London's most music-soaked districts. The three-hundred-capacity courtyard is run by the team behind the neighbouring Electric Ballroom, the eighty-year-old stage that has hosted artists ranging from Prince and The Clash to Skrillex and Four Tet, and it was created to give Camden Town a rare outdoo.....

Housed in a transformed 1960s industrial warehouse in the heart of Tottenham Hale, Club 360 is a multi-purpose events venue and nightclub that doubles as a blank-canvas hire space for filming, brand launches and private parties.
