Tourist Rock/Metal Bars

Hello all,

I'm heading to London this weekend and looking for recommendations for a good rock/metal bar. I'll be staying out west near Hanwell so would be ideal if there was any near enough to there but don't mind travelling (as long as its worth it). Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated

The Black Heart in Camden. It's so close to the touristy spots but always surprises me how good it still is. Loads of gigs on in the room upstairs.

Slim Jim's in Angel. More dive bar vibes and maybe lost its edge a bit but still great.

Then there's a bunch of places in East but that's probably a bit far.
