Yep. It was Simulcra photo studios but they seemed to have been putting on more DJ events of late.
It used to be East Brixton station.
I can't find any future line ups?

And the room with all the mirrors which made things a little tricky if you were in there and had taken mushrooms. Getting out proved to be difficult.

strictly off the record
Oh! Is there any remaining sense of the old station, or completely obliterated?

I think i get confused with this spot on Barrington road and the below place at the entrance to Loughborough Junction, where a few parties sprung up a few years back. I was roped into helping set up for a party once but the Police turned up and gave the owner one hell of a bollocking. The result was no party

jimbarkanoodle your photo was the other end of the terrace at the back of The Control Tower. If you went any further you'd be in Tesco Express Loughborough Junction.

I went to a couple of good things in there - a complete fire safety disaster zone though. I recall one occasion where the power supply blew out halfway through the night leaving everything in pitch darkness.I think i get confused with this spot on Barrington road and the below place at the entrance to Loughborough Junction, where a few parties sprung up a few years back.

Anyone know how strictly they are now enforcing the booking requirement?
The booking site is full of peak lockdown type rules and there are no more slots available this weekend
I had a slot for 11.50 a week or so ago but arrived 10 minutes late to find the place shuts for an hour a 12 (yeah - RTFM, I know)
Wondering if it is worth a punt just turning up ?

After I wrote that I booked online, took public transport down with my stuff and found the place bolted and barred. A worker came and looked through the gate asking what I wanted, and when I said I had a booking he opened up and showed me the designated skip for scrap electronics.
He also showed me an elaborate storage cabinet for various types of long-life and fluorescent tibes/bulbs.
If you ask me Lambeth Recycling Centre is ideal for recycling GP receptionists and Post Office counter clerks who like to give the impression they are "closed".
Not only that the long-life bulb situation shows that they can be VERY organised when they have to be.
PS Brixton Currys would have taken what I dumped in Norwood it turns out. So possibly if your stuff is consumer electrical you might save yourself a trip.
