The Roxy is a nightclub on Neal Street in London's Covent Garden, known for hosting the punk music scene in its infancy.

The Clash headlined the gala opening on January 1, 1977.

The anarcho-punk band Crass featured the Roxy as the subject of one of their most well known tracks, 'Banned from the Roxy'.

Although back in the punk rock heydey it was a landmark venue, today it is just another Covent Garden shop, selling swimwear.
