   Went for a comedy show that was great itself. However couple of points to note.... 1 the seating is real right in the theatre so prepare to get cozy with your neighbor. 2 the lot is too small for everyone who drives but it was free. And be carefull parking in the grocery store lot as it has a 2 hour time limit and the access road has parking restrictions. Don't say I didn't warn you. Get there early.

1. Leyton Jay ★★★★☆

   Fantastic and very relaxed venue, I've been several times for cult comedy shows and live indie podcast recordings. There is no communal or picnic area, so most people just hang out in the car park, but it is next door to a supermarket for easy access to beer and toilets in the hours before gigs begin. I've seen Digitiser Live (part of Chunky Fringe) and Cheapshow Live here.

   Nice place with a hall, which is used for concerts, theatre etc. Nice bar with small seating arrangements, nice friendly team. Toilets are clean but small. Beautiful building surrounded by quite a big lovely park and good parking space. Morrison Extra is nearby.

   I was impressed with Harrow Art Center. There is a variety of activities and events on offer, such as sewing, bike maintenance workshops, dance, and art classes, so there's something for everyone here. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. Overall, I would highly recommend Harrow Art Center. Make sure to look out for upcoming activities here.

   The center is an old school and a bit of a hidden gem. We saw a performance in the main hall, which has a large stage. The seating is quite narrow, so you will be close to your neighbour. A reasonable bar is on site also. The hall itself has some very interesting architecture, with a great roof!

   The centre is a lovely venue in a good area with nearby bus links. We went to see Ashens in August of 2022, and we were impressed with the spacious Elliot Hall.

   I recently went to view several Artists studios as part of Harrow Open Studios and was pleasantly surprised by how popular Harrow Arts Centre is! Even so, I managed to park easily, signposts were very well positioned and clearly indicated where to go. The main building is very impressive with plenty of outbuildings so lots going on. The artists I met were very welcoming and friendly, I really appreciated their help and insights so hope to see them again. I recommend checking them out if you're able.
