The Waiting Room

5 upcoming events

£1 to £6

The Waiting Room is in N16, and music is what it does best. Most of its programming is DJ-led club nights, with a lean towards bass, electronic and dance music. Expect a crowd that came for the sound. You'll find people who follow certain promoters, know the labels, and are happy to stand close to the decks. The nights tend to run late, and the mood builds over the set rather than arriving all at once. It suits people who would rather dance than sit and talk. If you're new to the venue, look at the night's name and who is playing before you look at the date. The promoter often tells you more about the sound than the headline does.
