The venue was built in 1934 and was originally used as an art deco cinema. After the closure of the cinema, The Town & Country Club was established on the site as a new music venue. This was bought by Mean Fiddler in 1993 and renamed The London Forum.

Mean Fiddler's refurbishment of the venue involved removing the ground floor cloak room, and supplementing the tables and booths on the balcony with padded benches. The ticketing policy was also changed from general admission to downstairs standing, and unreserved seating on the balcony. Many fans felt this destroyed the character of the venue.

Notable acts who have performed there include:
*Van Morrison (the last artist to perform at the Town and Country Club, and the first to perform at The Forum)
*Napalm Death
*AFI
*Shane MacGowan
*The Cult
*Prince
*Fugazi (played their last show to-date here on November 4 2002)
