INFO

The Lion and Lamb is a renowned pub and nightclub nestled in Hoxton, East London, United Kingdom. While the building itself has operated as a classic British pub for many decades, its identity as a pivotal destination in London's electronic music scene truly began in the 2010s. The venue underwent a transformation under new management that saw its back room evolve into an intimate dance floor hosting cutting-edge house, techno, and experimental music.
What sets The Lion and Lamb apart is its authentic, unpretentious atmosphere, providing a vital sanctuary for artists and music lovers seeking refuge from the commercial side of club culture. The modest size of the club space, its audiophile-approved sound system, and close proximity between DJs and dancers foster a distinctive sense of community rarely matched elsewhere in London. The Lion and Lamb has become synonymous with a ‘headsy’ crowd and a focus on top-tier music programming rather than big-name hype or spectacle.
Throughout the years, its structure has remained largely intact, holding on to the charm and quirks of a classic East End pub while subtly adapting its interiors to accommodate modern sound and lighting needs. The venue has remained at its original Hoxton location, though minor interior upgrades and occasional reconfigurations have taken place to enhance the listening experience without compromising character. The Lion and Lamb's cultural significance continues to grow, celebrated for nurturing underground talent and acting as a home base for labels, collectives, and after-hours parties that shape London’s nightscape.
Notable artists who have performed at The Lion and Lamb include international selectors such as Zip, Nicolas Lutz, Margaret Dygas, Francesco Del Garda, Evan Baggs, Vera, and Binh, alongside key UK and London-based figures like Craig Richards, Jane Fitz, Radioactive Man, Colin Dale, Ben UFO, Jane Fitz, Gwenan, Voigtmann, and Hamish & Toby. The venue has also played host to respected collectives and labels including Half Baked, Cartulis, Assemble, Oscuro, and Toi.Toi Musik, continuing its role as an essential platform for both local and global talent in underground music culture.
