The Water Rats, Music venue in Kings Cross, London, England

The Water Rats features a main concert hall with professional lighting equipment, a modern sound system, and a spacious stage for performances.

Originally named The Pindar of Wakefield, this establishment from 1878 changed its name to The Water Rats in 1986 when acquired by the Grand Order.

Bob Dylan chose this venue for his first UK performance in 1962, initiating a tradition of hosting both emerging artists and established musicians.

Located at 328 Grays Inn Road, the venue provides full backline support and maintains a kitchen serving food alongside an extensive drink selection.

Karl Marx and Lenin frequented this establishment before it transformed from a public house into a music performance space in the 1980s.
