Roundhouse
North West London
The venue has hosted Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and the only UK performance by The Doors...
The Roundhouse was originally built as an engine repair shed in 1846. Rapid advancements in train travel meant the carriages became too long for the Roundhouse, and so the building was sold to the Gilbey’s Gin Company and used as a warehouse. In 1969 it was bought as a base for Centre 42 and swiftly became one of London’s landmark venues.
The venue has hosted Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and the only UK performance by The Doors. In 2004 the building was closed for two years, in order to carry out a £30million restoration, before re-opening in 2006.
