The Camden venue triumphed against competition from the Clapham Grand - which hosted the awards - Dublin Castle and the Purple Turtle.

The new awards scheme is intended to recognise and reward independent venues, promoters and artists, with categories include best independent venue, fan of the year and artist award categories.

Nominations were gathered from independent venues and promoters in London as well as fans. Presenters on the night included soul singer Omar and former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock.
