The List

Pioneer Youth Club

Pioneer Club was originally founded by evacuees that were sent to St Albans from London during WWII. Since then, it has evolved to become a hub for a number of organisations that focus on, among other things, people with special needs and youth groups. It is also home to the oldest indoor skate park in the UK and is a thriving music venue.
