KOKO - the London venue the stars love

Mornington Crescent in London is home to a venue with an enviable musical history. KOKO was originally known as Camden Palace when it first opened on Boxing Day 1900. It became a BBC radio theatre after World War Two, eventually playing host to recordings by the Goons and the Monty Python teams. Punk and new wave acts including The Clash performed there in the 1970s, and it was a rave venue in the 1990s.

Also in Mornington Crescent, David Roberts Art Foundation was founded by art collector Roberts in 2007 and was based in Fitzrovia before moving to its current venue. It's free to the public and home to an impressive array of contemporary art exhibitions, performances, discussions and commissions.
