Camden Town

Friday Night I went clubbing with my friends from LAMDA at The Proud Galleries in Camden Town. The actual venue is both an art gallery and club and is in an area of Camden Town called Camden Stables, which is just that: stables. Camden Town was a very happening cultural area of London during the 1960s and remains a very young and more well known trendy neighborhood today. One of my friends who is from London described the area as "you get a lot of the asymmetrical haircuts there." My friend also suggested drinking before you go to the club because we had to pay an £8 cover to get in and once inside, it was £7 for drinks. Inside each of the stables was converted into either a bar or a private room to relax in. Attached to the stables area were two gigantic dance floors each with a different DJ. The DJs playing Friday night were both not too great. Both played a lot of old songs-at one point Sweet Home Alabama started playing... In one of the rooms, the DJ would play really great dubstep (sort of English techno music?) for forty minutes, then would take a break, play 80s music and bring out dancing girls. It was definitely an interesting night.
