Practice room recommends in Northish London?

[Cantdosleepy]

Hey London bassers,

I'm looking to start having some jams with buddies and am wondering if there are any practice rooms you guys would recommend.

I generally use Vatican near Stepney Green. The man who works there is really lovely, but it's quite expensive and the bass amps tend to be a bit sketchy.

Sometimes I go to Scar in Camden, which is cheaper but the amps vary in quality a lot more. Also, the electronics from the railway above induce a horrible noise in the big room.

Do any of you guys know of a good practice room? Looking for usual rockdrumkit/guitaramp/bassamp/pa sort of deal...

Thanks!

Try Zed One on the corner of Camden and Brecknock Rd's. Brilliant studio, though I suspect it's above your price range.

Other than that, Islington Arts Factory (opposite the women's prison!) is dirt cheap - £9 p/h inc. all backline for the larger room, though both rooms are quite small. In my experience it's the best cheap studio about, including Scar (which is a bit of a hole).

I'm so glad I don't use rehearsal studios anymore. They're horrible.

A decent one is Resident in Willesden. Panic in Acton is ok.
