"A night at Walthamstow Trades Hall is networking for people who understand the sensational bonding power of mutually hitting the high notes in ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’. Once a working men’s club, now a social hall that has retained its community feel and jazzy carpets, this pint-spilling joint has a whole lot of heart and heartfelt karaoke sessions to boot. Also, sharing a Yard Sale pizza from over the road is a delicious form of new mate bait." - heidi lauth beasley

"At Walthamstow Trades Hall anyone and everyone is warmly welcomed. The former working men’s club has a distinctly old-school British flavour to it, with spilt pints, 70-odd-year-olds teaming up with 30-somethings to sing karaoke, and a stacked line-up of bands we challenge you not to croon along to. Come on the weekend with a group who aren’t afraid to make new friends, order a Yard Sale pizza from across the road, and request/murder Bon Jovi’s 'Livin' On A Prayer'." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

"A Friday night at Walthamstow Trades Hall involves spilt pints, 70-odd-year-olds teaming up with 30-somethings to sing karaoke, and a stacked line-up of bands we challenge you not to dance along to. It’s not fancy, and some of the seats and the jazzy carpet have more character than the punters, but this social club is all heart. Come on the weekend with a group who aren’t afraid to make new friends, order a Yard Sale pizza from across the road, and request (and subsequently murder) Bon Jovi’s Livin' On A Prayer." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley

I made my first visit to Trades last night, for a Rock & Roll Book Club event that I was co-hosting and DJ-ing at, and quite simply, I fell in love with the place. I live in Yorkshire, and its “old school social club” put me in mind of similar venues up here, like Leeds Brudenell, York Crescent and Hebden Bridge Trades. The other thing that impressed me was the warm and super-friendly atmosphere - I’ve not experienced anything like it in a London venue before. Everyone there, staff and punters alike, made me feel welcome, and at home. I look forward to coming back!

Went here for RR Club - great venue, brilliant sound and good views of the stage wherever you sit. Bar was really cheap too.

If you want a social club atmosphere from the 70's and 80's this is the place to be. Decor from your childhood, drinks with affordable prices, darts, pool and a great, family-orientated environment this is it.

Despite a great band performing on a Saturday night, there was little or no atmosphere. The venue is great and the bar staff are friendly . My personal gripes were being asked if you're a member every time you order a drink and knowing that you're paying more for drinks (than members) despite the fact that you bought tickets and members stroll in free? Because of this it smacked of Freemasonry to me, despite the supposed left leanings of the club. I hope the management strive for equality and realise welcoming people starts with charging them the same, and not just a sign on the wall. I hope the club eventually fairly represents the whole Walthamstow community, but on first impressions they have some work to do. Good luck Walthamstow Trades Hall, if you get it right, you'll be a real asset to the community.

What a gem in the heart of Walthamstow. Yes it's a bit rough around the edges but that's all part of the charm. I've never been somewhere where kids are welcomed so much - they even had soft play items out on the dancefloor. They sold a few non alcoholic cider and beer options which suited me. Spacious rooms and tables. Friendly staff. Oh and we ordered yard sale pizza and was able to bring it in to the Trades Hall and eat at our table. I believe the yearly membership is around £50 or £60 and gives you cheap drinks. Although the drinks were very reasonably priced as it is. Keep track of what they have going on, it's always an eclectic mix of events to suit everyone.

We visited for the first time for “Jazz at Trades” with some excellent musicians. It was in the small upstairs bar (apparently they usually play downstairs, but a big name comedy act stole that room). The sound was excellent, good beer, good price entry - essentially pay what you can afford. Musicians were all great and personable too. We hung out in the main room downstairs after which had a great vibe. Proper multicultural London. Love it.

The trades hall consistently put on a wide range of great events attracting local talent and talent from further afield. This short clip is from a recent drum and bass night, Insida Tradin with 2 digit visuals, with stonking dirty tunes combined with fantastic visuals for an immersive experience.
