When\u00a0you think of Islington<\/a>, quirky theatres, diverse dining, fancy boutique shops and a vibrant arts scene likely come to mind. A new opening in the borough\u00a0sounds like it will\u00a0fit right in:\u00a0Holloway Road is getting a new neighbourhood record shop.<\/p>\n

Named\u00a0One Eighty One<\/a>, the venue will serve coffee and craft beer as well as vinyl records \u2013 an ideal\u00a0combo for music lovers seeking extra refreshment. By day it will be a chilled record shop and caf\u00e9, and by night it will transform into a vibey venue for collectors, artists and local residents. The venue sits about\u00a0midway between two stations: Holloway Road (on the Piccadilly line) and Highbury and Islington (on the Victoria, Windrush and Mildmay lines).<\/p>\n

One Eighty One is the first permanent venue from Rod \u2018Spin Doctor\u2019 Gilmore, a long-standing London promoter. He said of the opening: \u2018Islington has a rich musical heritage, and I am excited to now be the next part of that in the area I\u2019ve called home my entire life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018With quality on all fronts, whether that is drink, records, food or DJs, this will be an unpretentious friendly hangout spot for all of London.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

For over 30 years, Gilmore\u2019s parties, club nights and live events have helped shape London\u2019s music scene, spanning everything from warehouse sessions in Shoreditch to The Royal Albert Hall.\u00a0His shop will\u00a0deliver a diverse selection of records both old and new,\u00a0with a focus on hip-hop, house and soul.<\/p>\n
