English: The Roundhouse, Camden Built in 1847 as a turntable engine shed for the London and Birmingham Railway. Within 20 years locomotives became too large for the facilities to handle, and the Roundhouse underwent a number of changes of use. For years it was a gin store for the firm of W & A Gilbey Ltd until it was converted to a theatre in the late 1960s. The Roundhouse has hosted notable performers The Clash, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, among others. In 2006 it served as the venue for the BBC's Electric Proms, and has also hosted award ceremonies such as the BT Digital Music Awards and the Vodafone Live Music Awards.
