Very Good ServiceJuly 11, 2017
One of our favorite music venue in London, great acoustics, intimate atmosphere and a place where you can actually see the act without having to rely on video screens.

I came her to see blue and it's an amazing venue, a lot bigger than you think, cloak room staff are super quick and it has a really nice bar to chill out in before or after the performance starts

Acoustics are not the best in this round house (heh heh) and more troublesome for quiet acts, but expect great atmosphere in a spectacular venue. It's plain lovely. The Kills were just amazing.
Alexia KJune 10, 2018
Venue is cool and you get to see good names performing, however ventilation could work better and floor can become really sticky after some beers have dropped
Alex CropperJune 3, 2016
The venue is beautiful, a lot of history to it and feels very intimate. If you get the right band here, you're in for a treat. A gem of a venue.
Nicki FaulknerSeptember 29, 2015
I am yet to find a venue with better sound. The view isn't the best when you're standing at the back, but the sound quality is amazing. Great acoustics!
Sam MolterNovember 3, 2017
This concert hall was originally a turntable for train cars. It is now a beautiful example of how to repurpose industrial spaces and preserve history. The venue may outshine some of the artist inside.

Its still one of the best venue in london....use the toilets at the left or right towards the stage they are quieter
Magnus BergströmMay 2, 2017
Cool, round venue with a bit of gothic touch with pillars in a circle at the main stage. Great view even from the bar areas in the back.

I was passing by and saw this place. There was the concert of "Half Moon Run". It was great concert and place is very cosy itself!

free wifi, just in case you’re bored by the music... but why are you here then anyway?! awesome atmosphere, nice staff, good beer. enjoy yourself and be kind.

Super venue with very polite stuff, illumination absolutely amazing, flying lotus performance was just out of this world, have never listened to music this wonderful way
Oleg BelovOctober 30, 2017
The ground floor bar offers a nice selection of eclectic (normal for North London) beers in a nice modern environment. Fantastic music space!
Henry Herrera | Events & Volunteer CoordinatorJanuary 2, 2014
The amazing Fuerzabruta is back. Drums, aerialists, strobe lights, water, and dance. I'm going to the 10pm show tonight, but it would be great to meet up in the bar at around 8:30pm. Tickets £32.50 Read more

Great venue to get close to a band. The rest feels a bit like a student union with multiple table tennis tables and a few bars. Outside area on the first floor.
Chrissy CNovember 9, 2014
Really great music venue. The sound is spot on and there are upstairs seats if you don't feel like dancing/moshing. Beware, it's a popular spot for pickpockets :(

One of the best venues in London. Great sound. Come in summer for Camden beach!
Dmitry DevishevSeptember 25, 2017
Great club, but it’s kind of weird they require to get paper tickets before allowing you in.. Why don’t use e-tickets?

When there's a big crowd for a gig and you're stuck at the back, walk all the way around to the right and cut across. Easy to get close to the front!
O LMay 21, 2016
Very well designed music venue. The acoustics are probably the best I've ever experienced. Add amazing beer, what more could you want
Adam WhiteheadNovember 6, 2014
Great venue, very smart and clean facilities and awesome acoustics. Seeing Asking Alexandria here this evening
Filiz SalihNovember 20, 2011
Fantastic venue and amazing bands and artists signed and unsigned have performed here. Creative projects are scheduled here. Roundhouse is an amazing charity for creative projects :)

Favorite concert venue in London. Big enough for great acts, still an intimate show, and not a bad seat in the house.
Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012
The Grade II-listed Roundhouse was built in 1846 as a turntable shed for steam engines, and the venue has married beautiful looks with beastly behaviour ever since. Read more

One of the favorite music venues in London, the sound is just great.

Choose a seat with clear view, pillars are not really blocking the view. Nice theater
Phoebe JohnsonFebruary 27, 2018
Perfect venue. Try to delay a little as can’t get upstairs straight away if doors aren’t open.
Kaz MMay 13, 2016
Best beer selection I've seen at a music venue of this size, reasonably priced. not too overcrowded

I was rather impressed with the seated area when at gigs. Very impressive views. (If you manage to avoid the pillars)
Enzo MartinelliJanuary 31, 2016
Original performance space with very interesting shows on their listings
Drowned in SoundJanuary 25, 2011
An incredible calibre of live shows happen at this venue (we've seen the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grizzly Bear), including the BBC Electric Proms and various intimate shows by big acts. Read more
Doug MortonSeptember 24, 2014
Fantastic venue. It holds quite a few people, but still feels very intimate.
LIADSeptember 16, 2010
Of course, this is one of London's great music venues. Even better for extreme circus. Look up to the roof on the extension and you'll see a little-known Antony Gormley.Of course, this is one of Londo

Wanna see your favourite band in London's slickest rock venue? Go to the Roundhouse!! And if you're dropping by during the day, they do really nice freshly squeezed orange juice in the cafe downstairs
Ricardo Sanchez-SaezSeptember 5, 2014
Amazing medium sized venue! Top notch and modern facilities, much cleanliness and excellent sound.
Evening StandardMay 11, 2012
Chic and clean, with clever lighting and cool exposed brick, The Roundhouse certainly sets itself apart from Camden’s other, perhaps less salubrious venues. Read more

Great venue with amazing acoustics!
London Symphony OrchestraSeptember 16, 2011
Very trendy venue, and a fantastic space for all sorts of events because of its versatility. Pop, rock, classical, dance, circus... it's an eclectic mix.

Fantastic venue, beautiful and small with great sound. Perfect place for the iTunes Festival

Amazing venue for gigs, still a mystery as to how you gets seats upstairs though!
Akin OSeptember 16, 2012
Great theatre. Drinks are relatively cheap for London but they have a policy of once in you can't go out of the building.
Robert EMay 8, 2013
We, The Knife, will be performing live. We will be there, on stage, all seven of us, sometimes all ten of us, or even more. We have worked hard, together. Things, ideas, concepts have been tried.
Nash NaniDecember 5, 2015
One of the more atmospheric venues left in London

One of the greatest music venues in London.

Become a member. It goes to giving disadvantages kids access to creative space and you get a VIP bar too
Vic McGinMay 2, 2015
Great space for gigs. And so well ventilated! They even have air con.
noebelluOctober 20, 2013
the sound is the bomb! really high quality. and the free wifi is a much appreciated plus
G CMay 1, 2012
One of my favourite venues. Well organised, good bars, great acoustics, and a varied list of acts.
AnyTripMay 13, 2011
Crystal-clear sound here - great for when we saw Grizzly Bear. You have to pay to withdraw money inside so make sure you have enough cash for the bar before entering!
Bea Matti August 3, 2015
A beach in London? Just awesome. They don't make the best cocktails though..
