The Astoria 2, formerly known as the Mean Fiddler and the LA2, was a nightclub at 165 Charing Cross Road in London, England.
The venue was connected to the London Astoria such that the two venues could function as a single venue where needed. Like the Astoria, the venue was used for live music as well as night club promotions.
A venue also called Mean Fiddler was previously set up in Harlesden, north west London in 1982.
In June 2006, the Mean Fiddler was sold — together with the London Astoria — to property group Derwent Valley Central, who planned to convert the site into a combination of shops and offices.
In January 2009 the property was compulsorily purchased for Crossrail.
