The Roxy (Formerly The Office)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roxy is a nightclub at 3 Rathbone Place, just off Oxford Street in London.
It was previously called The Office, but was refurbished and reopened under its new name with artists and musicians commissioned to decorate it. Two of the artists commissioned were Annie Morris, illustrator of Sophie Dahl’s "adult fairy-tale", The Man With The Dancing Eyes (ISBN 0-7475-6372-1), and Didz, former bass player for The Cooper Temple Clause, and now for Carl Barat's The Libertines offshoot Dirty Pretty Things.
All the club nights tend to mix indie and classic pop, although in common with a lot of 'indie' clubs in London, you get more indie earlier in the week (when only students go out), more pop on a Friday and Saturday (when they're trying to attract the masses). A great place to go for a dance in a friendly atmosphere, it's done something to replace the "dancable indie night" void left in Soho by the closure of the old Wag on Wardour Street.
