The Carpet Shop: Pub in Peckham, London

The Carpet Shop is a food venue in SE15 that does more with its bills than the label suggests. The programming leans towards club nights built around electronic sound, with live acts that sit somewhere between jazz, soul and something more experimental. Bills tend to mix genres rather than stick to one scene. So the crowd is often a blend: people who came for the bass, people who came for the band, and people who haven't decided yet. It suits you if you like going out without a fixed plan. Pick a night for the lineup, let the rest of the evening follow, and expect to hear something you didn't know you wanted.
