![Albion Rooms: This is what 112 Teesdale Street looks like now, but back in the early days, the Libs tore down the wall between fans and band by inviting a handful of incredibly lucky supporters into their own Bethnal Green flat for a string of guerilla gigs that would terrify the neighbours, but act as marker to just how dedicated The Libertines were to their hardcore following.]()

![Filthy McNastys: Another long-gone great boozer, this awesome whiskey haunt on Amwell Street in Islington was closed to become a gastro pub. It had the perfect name for a Libs' gig, and that's just what they got in December 2003 with another short-sharp blast of Albion madness.]()

![The Beigel Shop: This Brick Lane not only offer delicious salt beef, but it was the location for some iconic photos shot by Roger Sargent. Resembling a gang, wide-eyed in trenchcoats, the band looked every bit the part and ready to enter rock history - not least with the spooky premonition of 'there are no innocent bystanders' scrawled on a nearby wall. It would later lend itself to a Libs documentary shot by Sargent.]()

![The Lark in the Park: A quite humble gig venue on the surface, that played host to a raucous tiny show back in April 2003 - just as the band were REALLY exploding.

![The Duke Of Clarence: Now sadly closed as a music pub, The Duke of Clarence on Rotherfield Road in Islington was often frequented by the band, and became home to a sweaty and legendary show. Just days after the Libertines played a massive gig at Brixton Academy, they descended upon The Duke Of Clarence to play to just over 100 people. They played two 'guerilla' gigs between 2003 and 2004, one of which is on Youtube in full. It has since been converted into flats.]()
