It's the first time I've been to the Wilmington Arms. I nearly went there last year, but ended up at the Betsy Trottwood just down the road. The venue is in a room to the side of the main pub with a small bar of its own. You can't get proper beer in there but the main pub has some nice guest ales and you can carry them through (It was also quicker than queueing to get served in the gig room tonight). The floor area is fairly small, probably about the size of the Hope and Anchor, but the actual stage is really quite large, not very high, but big. And they have lights which are encouragingly on, with no silly flashing; they are a bit yellow and rather than having the band look as if they have jaundice I opt for Black and White pictures. The gig is fairly full, which is a bit of a surprise on a cold tuesday night when the venue is miles from a tube station (that's a slight exaggeration really it's only Kilometers).
