The Electric Ballroom has existed in Camden Town , north London for over sixty years. The establishment has served as a venue for many Rock bands through the years. On weekends the building has an indoor market with about fifty stalls selling a variety of fashion, Lifestyle and Music related goods. The Friday club night is Sin City, playing rock, and alternative genres. The Friday club was formerly Goth night Full Tilt. However, the two events were run by different companies. On Saturday, "Shake" plays mostly pop and dance from the 70's onwards, as well as modern hip hop and RnB. Transport For London proposed to demolish the Electric Ballroom in order to allow the redevelopment of Camden Town Tube Station , but the planning application for the redevelopment was rejected by Camden Borough Council in 2004. A revised proposal from Transport For London in 2005 to demolish the whole block including the Ballroom, Buck Street Market and the Dr Martens flagship store was rejected by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott which has allowed the Electric Ballroom to continue to thrive.
