SEPTEMBER 2019 - A fire at Koko has meant its temporary closure due to a fire and building restructuring is scheduled to last into 2020.
Koko is a unique venue. It opened in 1900 and began its life as the Camden Theatre. Since then its incarnations have included the BBC Theatre and the Camden Palace. A six-month, multi-million restoration project was undertaken by the Mint Group and Koko was born. Koko represents a versatile, state of the art venue, adaptable for multiple uses from intimate cabaret to international awards to major film and TV location hire. It features a new £60k professional lighting rig and various chandelier VIP areas such as the Royal and Directors Box, a separate Green Room behind the stage with its own exclusive Poker Room, numerous dressing rooms, a fully equipped production office and overall venue capacity of 1,500.
