Middle Earth Club

Middle Earth Club

Middle Earth was an influential hippie club in London, UK in the 1960s, following on from the UFO Club after it was closed down due to police pressure and the imprisonment of its founder John 'Hoppy' Hopkins.

Middle Earth started in a large cellar in Covent Garden, London, at 43 King Street. It later moved to the Roundhouse at Chalk Farm, moving from there to a bingo hall in Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill when the Roundhouse was used for a play staring Richard Chamberlain.

Nights at Middle Earth were normally hosted and arranged by the DJ Jeff Dexter. Groups that played there included Pink Floyd, The Who, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and Jefferson Airplane.
