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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
