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.

Opening this Autumn :) (hopefully with more than one barely serviceable toilet)

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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
