The theatre was opened in December 1900 by Ellen Terry, then the most celebrated actress in England, who had lived in nearby Stanhope Street as a child. A local newspaper called the St Pancras Gazette commented as follows in a review of the Palace Theatre’s production of an opera called The Geisha in 1901:
“It is a matter of special gratification that the opera was presented at our beautiful local theatre on a scale of magnificence and completeness which would do credit to a West End theatre, but this is nothing new at the Camden Theatre, being rather a continuation of the policy with which the proprietors started their enterprise, viz. to offer nothing to their patrons but standard work, which has received the unmistakable approval of critics and public”

Amazing place for concert, quite good alternative to a proper club, the decor is really nice and there's enough space to breathe even when crowded. Good venue!

I went to Koko last night, and I'm glad I did. It's a beautifully restored building, well worth going for the decor alone, and easy to get to. But... the acoustics were awful, it was pretty rammed, and the drinks? £9.50 for a JD & coke and a tumbler of wine? I'm glad I was pissed before I got there ;)

The decor, size and disco ball are all really good admittedly, but it ain't that great.

It's a good venue apart from when it's sold out...really hard to move about and actually see anything downstairs. Unless you are approaching six feet tall. Oh and those drinks prices...

The security are complete fucks. It's a good venue aesthetically, but the sound quality isn't always good, and agreeing with below, the drinks are pricey compared to other venues.

Gonna see the Gutter Twins there in February. How easy is it to get to, bearing in mind I'll probably have to take the train up there?
