Drumsheds
Drumsheds is a large-scale nightclub and events venue located in Tottenham in the London Borough of Enfield in the United Kingdom. It is housed in a former IKEA flagship store and has a capacity of 15,000 people.[1][2]
The venue is near the North Circular Road, and the nearest railway station is Meridian Water railway station on the Lea Valley lines. Pymmes Brook runs nearby.
History
[edit]IKEA operated their Tottenham store at the location from 2005 until August 2022, leaving behind 608,000 sq ft warehouse space.[3]. In July 2023, Broadwick Live announced it had secured a lease and would be converting the space into a live music venue.[4]
An earlier venue called Drumsheds, now closed, operated at a different location on the River Lee Navigation.[5]
License
[edit]Following a number of events in 2024, the venue's license for alcohol sales is under review.[6]
