The Windmill, Brixton, Live music venue in Brixton, England
The Windmill is a two-level music venue in Brixton with a main performance space and an outdoor area for guests between shows. The interior divides into several small sections that create an intimate setting for watching live performances.
The venue opened in 1971 as a simple bar near Blenheim Gardens Estate. It gradually became known for music performances starting in the late 1990s, when live shows became a regular part of its programming.
The venue shapes Brixton's nightlife by hosting emerging artists who perform their first shows and established musicians exploring experimental work. People gather here to discover new sounds and support local talent together.
The venue sits within walking distance of several stations, making it easy to reach by public transport. Admission is affordable and there is space both indoors and outdoors, though it can get crowded during popular shows.
A Rottweiler named Roof Dog lived on the building's roof until 2015 and became an unexpected symbol of the place. Many visitors remember the time when this dog was part of the venue's character and made it different from other music clubs.
