- Dan BrownNovember 4, 2012One of the best acoustic venues in London. Great architecture, atmosphere, and sound. The pews can be a bit hard on a bony behind though, so either bring a cushion or sit on some clothing.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- Evening StandardMay 11, 2012The Union Chapel’s spellbinding surroundings and a cappella acoustics make it tough competition for more modern, purpose-built venues, putting it top of the list for bands and music fans alike. Read more

- The Daylight Music gigs at midday on a Saturday are always great. And free (though leave a donation if you can, to help with the upkeep of the lovely building)
- Great venue for live music, book a pew spot first with your coat then retire to bar as people are pretty honest and spot is usually there when you get back.
- Vic McGinMay 1, 2015Surreal music venue. So atmospheric. Sit in the pews up the top for a birdseye view. Some Sundays they do midday shows with delightful home made cakes.
- Simon WillisonNovember 16, 2013Daylight Music on Saturdays is great - music, tea, cakes and free with a suggested donation of £3.50
- Akua Obeng-FrimpongAugust 31, 2013Gigs in the upstairs bar are relaxed and intimate. Heard Yourgardenday. First time at Union Chapel. Would definitely go again.
- Solveig OskMay 16, 2011Sitting on the upper balconies at the back, stage centre, gives you an amazing view over this beautiful old chapel. Not many venues today that still use candles to set the mood. (via Scoville) Read more
- Christopher WeirOctober 7, 2015Great venue for a gig. If you're watching something where you have to sit down for a long time maybe bring a padded jacket to sit on 😊
- Amy RobinsonAugust 11, 2014What an incredibly beautiful venue. Remember you can't take booze inside the main section but the bar is lovely too.
- Dennis SentanceApril 16, 2019One of the best venues in London, if you have a fav artist playing there just book tickets. You won’t be disappointed!!!!
- JackMarch 26, 2019The one time I visited was for a goosebump-inducing Mount Eerie concert. Stunning venue, especially for acoustic music.
- Mike BarnardOctober 10, 2015Beware: you can't drink in the chapel, only in the designated bar upstairs. Great for more sedate gigs and comedy.
- Great acoustics, interesting events and fair prices. Plus, amazing environment
- Raul RomeroNovember 27, 2011Amazing place. I've seen there some of the best concerts ever... Sheila Chandra, Mariza... Such a wonderful venue, such a good taste!
- Matthew BakerNovember 5, 2011In actual fact the speakers are a hinderance. When the acts walk away from the microphone the acoustics are much better. Sitting in the upper circle is super echoey
- One of the best venues in London. If you come to an evening performance make sure to eat at the food buffet in the bar.
- William ClearySeptember 21, 2012great acoustics, saw Jonathan Coulton there tonight. make sure you don't sit behind one of the pillars!
- Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012The devil might have all the best tunes, but the Union Chapel is proof that him downstairs knows bugger-all about architecture. Read more
- Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012Live at the Chapel, a monthly Islington comedy club, undoubtedly provides the finest, most interesting line-ups in the capital. Read more
- If you take out a Membership, not only do you get advanced notice of events, you get a discount at the bar.
- Matthew BrownApril 15, 2012Join the Union Chapel and get discounts at the bar. Support a great place and get a little reward. Cool!
- BrianMarch 7, 2015If you sit just in front of the sound technicians you're under a heater - good on cold nights
- Brian OwensOctober 11, 2013Stunning venue. Can't bring drinks into the chapel. But there is a bar :)
- Ben WardDecember 17, 2009When attending gigs, shows or—plausibly—religious service in the wintertime, be sure to sit inside the circle of the balconies, since that's where the heaters are directed.
- Best venue in London for an intimate small mid size gig.
- Tim TalbotSeptember 15, 2011Are you the hippest kid in town? Have you seen a gig in a church? NO PROBABLY NOT. But you can solve this dilemma by heading to Union Chapel. We saw the Kooks do an acoustic show there once. Sorry Read more
