Time Out magazine, October 1971 - A Guide to London's East End

A slice of East London nostalgia offered up courtesy of Time Out, when the publication was still in its grass roots, underground prime. Decades before listings for hipster galleries, pop-up venues and vintage clothing shops. This is a tour of the locality written by an East Londoner for readers who were more likely to be revelling in the then hip neighbourhoods of Ladbroke Grove, Soho or Islington. 

For those wondering what events were happening during the first week of October '71: playing the Roundhouse were Brinsley Schwartz & John Martyn, Stan Getz was appearing at Ronnie Scott's, Rory Gallagher at the Marquee Club, and the Velvet Underground at Kingston Polytechnic...

Late night film screenings included; Alfie at the Edmonton Regal, Masque of Red Death at the Dalston Odeon, and the Blob at the Brixton Classic...
