Harlow, Essex Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• Arlow is a wonderful town west of essex. if ya very lucky ya can find a decent pub or club holding karaoke nights.there are lots of really good karaoke shows around my favourite are Sounz shockin Entertainment. they still live in Harlow and to my knowledge have never had TIGERMAN at any of their shows. Sounz Shockin comprise of a husband and wife act ( shes better looking than him ) not sure what their names are but well worth going to see and have a song. if any one knows how to get in touch please let us know
• has to be old cheeks nightclub building next to Harlow Mill station. The nightclub closed in 1987 because so many local residents complained about the noise and drunks causing problems. But it was a great place to explore if you were 12 or 13. Unfortunately after a fire the old building was knocked down in the 90s and a car dealership was built in it place

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
