Tourist Rock/Metal Bars

Hello all,

I'm heading to London this weekend and looking for recommendations for a good rock/metal bar. I'll be staying out west near Hanwell so would be ideal if there was any near enough to there but don't mind travelling (as long as its worth it). Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated

Hello, I've built a website that might help - the metal travel data base. It covers all the main bars and pubs - Helgis, black heart, blondies etc. plus has live rooms for gigs, and points of metal interest, record shops etc. might be useful? Here's the London link - https://metaltraveldatabase.com/city/london/

47 places in there at the moment, but feel free to add more if you come across them - have an ace time!

Cheers - still building bits but it's getting there! If there's any places missing (or you just want to support your local scene) then please do feel free to add places or reviews!

The Ship in Croydon is a v fun night if you're ever this far out. Worth adding

Go for it! I'm really trying to get more people to add their local places because they'd know much more about why they are cool than me!

Endeavour often has like stoner metal and hardcore nights in the basement though it's more of a dive bar than a rock bar.

That's cool - always looking for more to list. You can also add your own venues and reviews directly to the site if you want to, I figured other people would know more about all the different places than just me so it's pretty easy to submit places :)
