The Foundry was a bar and venue on Great Eastern Street at the junction with Old Street in Shoreditch, London. It was owned and run by Jonathan and Tracey Moberly.[1][2] Bill Drummond, co-founder of The KLF, helped set up the Foundry.[3] It had a basement which hosted art, music and poetry events.[4] A weekly radio show, the foundry late late breakfast show, was broadcast live from the Foundry on Resonance 104.4 FM.
The bar closed down in 2010, as the building's owner intended to redevelop the whole block to include a 350-room hotel. The Foundry's manager is said to be looking to move to another location, possibly nearby.[2][needs update]
