I loved it until it started falling apart and things got desperate before it finally closed its doors. I'd go in there some days around five or six in the evening and not come out again until ten the next morning. This would often go on for days with sessions carried on elsewhere in between. Towards the end once when Stab & Crime shut at 4am people would from there would sneak round the back of The Drum and get in and carry on there. A proper den of inquity in its day. I'm glad it's closed now though. I don't think my body could take that sort of living anymore.

Loved Inside 72 as well. Especially if you got there early and got a bar stall between the speakers. The staff were great too and helped create a good vibe.

Please please can anyone help me.


I am after any photos of inside 72


doing a project and desperate for any photo's which pic up the ambience / interior etc from in there!


Would be SO HAPPY if someone could help!!!


Or even describe the inside / seating / interior etc


YOU WOULD HAVE MADE MY DAY!!!

Think lots of bare coarse chipboard. Unfinished concrete floor. Walls with layer upon layer of random posters glued to them. JD/Jager bottles holding red candles. Loud music, ranging from drum & bass to metal. One of those multi-bottle Jager dispensers behind the bar. One single, barely servicable toilet. Chairs and tables rescued from the tip. Not open during the day. No buggies.


If it was transported to Peckham in 2015 it would be rammed.

And love that it is still subtitled "The Peckham Meat Market"

Yes it was. Me and a mate used spent several sicky days in there around 2004.


I remember the JD Bottles with purple candles dribbling wax down the sides, and a guitar shaped neon light thing at the end of the bar.


And there was one toilet for each gender (although I don't think people tended to use the correct one, just whichever was free).

Ever been to The Railway at Tulse Hill?. Brilliant, and it kinda felt like a large Inside 72 to me. 6 mins on train from ED.

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
