The building was known as Camden Palace from 1982 until its 2004 purchase and extensive restoration, led by Oliver Bengough and Mint Entertainment.[1][2] Following the restoration, the venue was renamed as Koko, and is one of the premier live music venues in London.[1][3][4][5][6]
On the evening of 6 January 2020, a large fire broke out in the building.[7]
