One of the best Turkish Restaurants in North London. Always busy, especially on weekends when you have to reserve seats to avoid standing outside. Amazing customer service, great food and a reasonable price for the standard. You should try the lamb and chicken grill.Read more

Party In Your Pants LONDON Glastonboobie
London, you crazy cats! We are back to start the summer with another magnificently messy party. We know that some of you would rather be in a field this weekend, and we cannot pretend that our mess will contain as much mud, but we are delighted to present Glastonboobie! Hand made, with love and no corporate donors, Party In Your Pants is a festival all its own. There will be neon paint and pens to doodle yourself and to make new friends as you doodle them. There will be colour and chaos, and places to escape them. Party In Your Pants is a technicolour refill of our faith in humanity. Be topless or not, we don't care. Pants are compulsory, though. Your ticket price includes an all night cloakroom multipass, so you can disrobe at your own pace. Our event is about embracing your inner toddler, so please leave your kinks at home. We are a password protected, desexualised and fiercely anti-harassment safe space club night. For those new to us, listen up: Party In Your Pants is an INCLUSIVE feminist event. We understand that predators are what threaten trans and cis women, non binary people and other cis men. We are a hostile environment for predators, transphobes, racists and anyone else who believes that some people are entitled to fewer human rights than others. For everyone else, welcome aboard the Good Ship Pantopia. This venue is wheelchair accessible and free PA passes are available on request. Email [email protected] or message us on our socials for specific access requirements and passwords. We can't wait to see you on the dancefloor!Read more

Chris Imler record release show
The new album "The Internet will break my heart" by Chris Imler releases in february, 2025, on german label Fun In The Church, co-released by belgian/french label Moli Del Tro. The album marks the steepest artistic stage from Imler to date.We see a man whose entire solo oeuvre not to mention all the bands he's been providing drums for, from legendary 80ies Postpunk outfit THE GOLDEN SHOWERS to PEACHES , from MAXIMILIAN HECKER to OUM SHATT. "The Internet will break my heart" is a late work, at the dizzying heights of his game. Only now the world wide web unfolds its full disappointing potential. All dreams of an emancipatory power of the digital multitude (remember Negri/Hardt, haha) are as completely extinguished as the Arab Spring was swallowed up by the pre-nuclear winter. While they are capped from above in authoritarian states, social media in the so-called free world are primarily used by lumpen capital to undermine humanist standards and by the remnants of the left for self-destructive polarization. But the cute animal videos! They too have their dark side, which Imler brings up in the title song: "Die Tiere in der echten Welt stehen unter Druck" ("The animals in the real world are under pressure"). So what is an aesthetically adequate way of dealing with this new digital version of the frustration of progress Can it still be the old cold sounds of defiant adaptation to alienation In the introduction to an exclusive session with Gary the Tall on NTS radio he was placed alongside KRAFTWERK , DAF and NEU! That's not entirely wrong. But it's only half the truth at best. This becomes particularly clear during his live shows. To a certain extent, they are Sketches that he noton his laptop on long and numerous travels are rehearsed on stage on the same evening, with emotional". His performance is deliberately chaotic, impulsive for all its Berlin street toughness, heartfelt. And although Imler - even with his occasional trumpet interludes - never has direct jazz references, one can just as easily think of Thelonious Monk's unruly boldness or Ornette Coleman's aggressive dynamics as of those aforementioned representatives of Teutonic robotics. (Jens Friebe) Soborgnost Soborgnost is sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of minimal wave, disco dub, industrial, proto-house, drone and noise. Using a hardware sampler to emulate dub mixing and looping post-punk style basslines with chuggy, lo-fi beats. Warped analogue textures are added with cassette tape manipulation, electro magnetic frequency transmitters, shortwave radio, harsh noise generator and dub siren. https://on.soundcloud.com/uqpquot1eEJe495n9 P2/E https://www.instagram.com/atmanara/ Gary The Tall DJ (NTS // vinyl set) https://www.nts.live/shows/thereignsetRead more
About Harringay
Harringay is a residential area of North London, part of the London Borough of Haringey. It is centred on the section of Green Lanes running between the northern boundary of Finsbury Park up to the southern boundary of Duckett's Common, not far from Turnpike Lane. Whilst the main road feels definitely cosmopolitan, the population of the surrounding streets is somewhat more homogeneous. The streets to the west of Green Lanes are known as 'Harringay Park' or the 'Harringay Ladder' (due to their similarity to a ladder when seen on a map). The streets to the east behind Grand Parade are known as 'Harringay Gardens'.
