About Blondies

Here is the story of Blondies in Lower Clapton, London so far. It books metal, punk and rock acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

Blondies is a grassroots music venue in Lower Clapton, London with a standing capacity of about 50. It books Metal, Punk, Rock, Hardcore.

Listing notes

Blondies ‌‌‍is a tiny, much-loved dive bar and grassroots music venue at 205a Lower Clapton Road in East London, opened in 2016 by Australian sisters Verity and Sharmaine Cox and kitted out with their own wonky hand-made furnishings. With a capacity of around 50 it's the closest thing London has to a scuzzy New York dive, hosting raucous gig nights that have drawn names as big as Mastodon and Refused. Fiercely independent and proudly LGBTQIA+ welcoming, it's a cult cornerstone of the capital's rock, punk and metal underground.

Capacity 50 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, Blondies is the joint 164th largest of the 168 venues we list in and around London with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: Endeavour Deptford (about 50); Green Note (about 50) and Hampstead Jazz Club (about 50).

With room for about 50 standing, Blondies is a small room by our directory's sizes. The typical London room we list holds about 200, so this one is on the smaller side. Small rooms like this reward acts with a loyal local audience: the fee is often a door split, and a full room comes from your own guest list rather than the venue's marketing. The figure is listed, not yet verified, so check it with the venue before you plan around it.
