So I'm trying to get Frankenstein a London gig to go along with their Whitby appearance and every goddam venue is booked!

Water Rats - booked
Purple Turtle - booked
Dublin Castle - won't do outside promotions
On the Rocks - booked
Metro - waiting for them to get back to me
Bar Academy - waiting for them to get back to me <- now this would be nice actually!
Upstairs at the Garage - booked
Upstairs at the Marquee - not going THERE again!
The Verge - sold :(

And then there's the "too big and/or expensive category", which are probably all booked by this point too. I know it's cutting it close to the bone for a late April gig, but they just announced Whitby so I didn't have a lot of warning myself.

Anyone else know of any decent, reasonably central, 100-200 capacity venues that can host bands, that might be available? Otherwise I think I'm going to have to bag the idea :/

Hm, people seem to have mentioned most of the obvious ones. Barfly/Monarch, maybe?

Barfly are complete snobs and won't talk to you unless you're the newest coolest trendy band about to be discovered by NME.

Yeah, that is true, although they do change their tune if they're having trouble getting gigs in. Difficult to be snobbish if you need to keep the bar take up, I guess.

Going further afield, you could try the Half Moon in Putney, or maybe Cargo in Hoxton, the Spitz even.

Failing that, I think they do the odd gig at the Albert Hall... ;)
