Dingwalls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dingwall's is a venue adjacent to Camden Lock in London, England. It houses bars, cafes, clubs (including the Jongleurs comedy club and the Lock 17 bar/restaurant), and it is one of the city's best known live music venues. The building itself is one of many industrial Victorian buildings that were put to new use in the Twentieth Century. The original owner of the building, T.E. Dingwall, had had his name painted on to the outside wall of the building, which was a common practice by businesses in Camden Town during the late Victorian era. The paint never washed off, and is still visible to this day, hence the venue's unusual name. Dingwall's was also the venue for the famous jazz dance club 'Talkin Loud and Saying Something' with Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge.
