JAMMIN'


The Jamm is located about 15 minutes from Brixton Tube Statiom, straight right down Brixton Road. It is a character-full place and unlike many of the cavernous multi-room Churches of Pretension that are many clubs  throughout the capital.  It is also decidedly friendly-despite it's relative closeness to some of the dodgier parts of Brixton- though this is in all likelihood  because 75% of the people in there are spazzed out ...
