Rivoli Ballroom

Just around the corner from my house is a gorgeous old 50s ballroom. They host dance nights every week and the building is constantly being used in tv shows and music videos. A few years ago I was lucky enough to see the White Stripes play there in a 'secret gig'. It's a pretty unassuming looking building from the outside, but inside it is everything the 50s should be... big, bold and downright beautiful.

I'm hoping to contact the owners soon to see if i can strike a deal on a photoshoot. I'm sure a lot of blagging and persuasion may be required, but i'm hopeful that they'll be willing to help out a small local business. I love Brockley, we have an amazing artisitic community here and it's full of little hidden treasures like the Rivoli. And what an inspiration this venue is!
