Number 3 is an up and coming venue Sarf of the river, in the desperately up-marketable Deptford. New posh housing projects are scrambling into the sky all over the Borough of Lewisham. It's accessibility to the City, East and West End, to Hackney and the Deep South (via the East London line overground) and zone two status are encouraging developers to try to market the former 'murder mile' as THE place to be. (As long as you avoid all contact with the locals!)
This former warehouse forms a mini Mecca with sister venues The Big Red and the Birds Nest pub all within spitting distance at the beginning of Creek Rd.
This area has been named Rocklands for a reason there are a plethora of venues playing every kind of music you could want from the Jazz, spoken word, rock, blues open mic nights to bands galore and festivals. For the eaters there is a true world cuisine Chinese, Jamaican, Indian, Vietnamese traditional and modern English encompassed in the High Street and surroundings
Enuf about Deptford! Number 3's mini festival show cased and highlighted, local festivals (Brockley Max, Cross Wires), artists, photographers, theatre company (Glass Moon) bands ( I especially loved Cat, Bear, Tree), the great spaces available, the super supportive staff and a delicious new Spanish beer.
And there's no point hiding my light under a bushel. Number 3 sponsored 'Musically Magical Moments' to great success - but no reviews as yet. An unique experience that can de stress, revitalize or just carry you away and bring you back safely in 10 minutes!
