The Garage at Highbury Corner
I just noticed that "The Garage" gig venue seems to have possibly been built in a style which is sympathetic to the former train station next door, and it occurred that the clue might be in the name. Is it a former bus garage? |

The Garage at Highbury Corner

writes I just noticed that "The Garage" gig venue seems to have possibly been built in a style which is sympathetic to the former train station next door, and it occurred that the clue might be in the name. Is it a former bus garage? I think it was built as a billiards hall, with a dance hall above. I suspect the 'Garage' is a reference to what was once a large garage next door (where Majestic Wine now is), which I vaguely remember being called Lex (so possibly part of the same company that built the famous Lex Garage in Soho). -- Paul Terry |
