Oh come on, gang, only one review for the Mecca Bingo in Camden?! I know I'm not the only one who…read morehas walked past this place, seen the crowd smoking outside, and thought "I want to go in there someday, either to gamble or to die." My office used to be located right nearby and after months of badgering co-workers, we got a group together to go. We first had tequila shots at a nearby pub. For luck and for confidence. I'm not going to lie, it is bright in there and there are some depressing characters at times. But everyone is friendly as long as you are quiet during the games themselves. The biggest secret about the bingo hall? CHEAP BEER. Seriously £3 pints or under. Cheap drinks all around. CHEAP BEER IN CAMDEN TOWN. This is not a thing that typically happens. I have so much fun playing bingo with my friends that we've since gone back, and I am definitely going to arrange another outing. Both times we've visited, it cost about £7/person to play games for 2+ hours. Absolutely love it. Take a chance. Do it. It's so fun.

A slightly unconventional choice, yes, but it was SO much fun. True, the flowing gin and white wine helped significantly to make it a fabulous day, but if you've never played bingo on this scale before, then you have got give it a go. It may have been because we were feeling particularly giggly and excitable when we got there, but the staff on the front desk didn't really seem that helpful and we had to get a third person to explain the rules to us when we got into the main hall. Eventually though, we got the rules straight and the bingo began. I swear, my heart was beating so hard with all the excitement (they go so fast!) that I was quite exhausted at the end of each round. We laughed the whole way through, but I feel I must warn you that some people take it frighteningly seriously. We even witnessed an out-and-out Jeremy Kyle-style fight between the bingo caller and a woman who apparently didn't shout loud enough to stop the game. Rule No. 1 - SCREAM if you win. Drink and food prices are immensely cheap at £2.70 for a 187ml bottle of wine (Blossom Hill signature white, oh yes) and £2.75 for sausage and chips. You can't go wrong really. Unless you hate greasy, canteen-style food of no discernible nutritional value. In that case, I'd bring a packed lunch. At £9 for five afternoon games, it's pretty good value for such a laugh as we had. We're already planning our next outing. We might even win something next time.

Transport Tooting Broadway tube. Chartres Cathedral meets Liberace Now, alas, a bingo hall, this was the first cinema in the UK to be listed as Grade I - the most rigorous preservation order a building can get. From the outside, the tall, square building doesn't look all that special, give or take a few columns; on the inside, it looks like Chartres Cathedral if it had been designed by Liberace. Opened in 1931, this palace to entertainment was commissioned by Sidney Bernstein, an exiled white Russian who later founded Granada TV, and designed by Fyodor Fyodorovich Kommisarzhevsky, a Russian director and set designer briefly married to actress Peggy Ashcroft. The heavily gilded foyer is lined with Gothic mirrors and fake leaded windows, punctuated by a pair of sweeping marble staircases. But all this is relatively restrained: the auditorium inspired by its namesake, the Alhambra Palace in Granada - is where Kommisarzhevsky went bananas. Under a coffered ceiling are cathedral porches, heraldic symbols, and glass chandeliers, now partly obscured by the bingo lighting and screens. The decoration intensifies as you approach the stage. All around the auditorium are arches filled with murals of troubadours and wimpled damsels - but underneath all this medieval madness, the bingo fans play on, eyes fixed on the cards. The combination feels like a weird incarnation of a themed Vegas casino deep in South London. In its day, the Granada was the only suburban cinema in London to have its own 20-piece orchestra. The glamorous usherettes wore gold silk blouses with blue slacks, pill box hats, blue cloaks over one shoulder, and white gloves, while the doormen wore a blue uniform with brass buttons, peaked caps, and gold epaulets. On its anniversary, the cinema would serve every customer a slice of cake wheeled in from the baker next door, it weighed over a ton. Over 2,000 people were turned away on opening night, and over three million viewers came to the pictures here every year. However, the arrival of the television sent audience numbers into a tailspin, and the cinema closed in 1973. It was revived as a bingo hall in 1991. You need to be a member to visit, though membership is free. Call the Granada for details. more details in 'Secret London an unusual guide' oublished by http://www.jonglezpublishing.com
