Very Good ServiceJuly 11, 2017One 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.Upvoted 3 days ago
Natalie ParchmentMarch 31, 2015I 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

FabianOctober 14, 2016Acoustics 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.
Alex CropperJune 3, 2016The 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.
Alexia KJune 10, 2018Venue 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
Nicki FaulknerSeptember 29, 2015I 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, 2017This 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
Irada BabayevaMarch 25, 2016I 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!
Giorgi MerebashviliNovember 8, 2014Super 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
Magnus BergströmMay 2, 2017Cool, 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.
Oleg BelovOctober 30, 2017The ground floor bar offers a nice selection of eclectic (normal for North London) beers in a nice modern environment. Fantastic music space!
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.
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.
O LMay 21, 2016Very well designed music venue. The acoustics are probably the best I've ever experienced. Add amazing beer, what more could you want
Favorite concert venue in London. Big enough for great acts, still an intimate show, and not a bad seat in the house.
Henry Herrera | Events & Volunteer CoordinatorJanuary 2, 2014The 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
One of the best venues in London. Great sound. Come in summer for Camden beach!
Chrissy CNovember 9, 2014Really 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 :(
Bartek BiedrzyckiMarch 29, 2016Cool music venue. Sound was great and the main space has a retro feeling.
Robert EMay 8, 2013We, 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.
LIADSeptember 16, 2010Of 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
Adam WhiteheadNovember 6, 2014Great venue, very smart and clean facilities and awesome acoustics. Seeing Asking Alexandria here this evening
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!
Dmitry DevishevSeptember 25, 2017Great club, but it’s kind of weird they require to get paper tickets before allowing you in.. Why don’t use e-tickets?
Enzo MartinelliJanuary 31, 2016Original performance space with very interesting shows on their listings
ᴡ L'AstorinaFebruary 26, 2011Wanna 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
M Aldoss ♏August 30, 2022Choose a seat with clear view, pillars are not really blocking the view. Nice theater
Evening StandardMay 11, 2012Chic 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
London Symphony OrchestraSeptember 16, 2011Very 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.
Doug MortonSeptember 24, 2014Fantastic venue. It holds quite a few people, but still feels very intimate.
Filiz SalihNovember 20, 2011Fantastic 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 :)
Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012The 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
Phoebe JohnsonFebruary 27, 2018Perfect venue. Try to delay a little as can’t get upstairs straight away if doors aren’t open.
Kaz MMay 13, 2016Best beer selection I've seen at a music venue of this size, reasonably priced. not too overcrowded
Ricardo Sanchez-SaezSeptember 5, 2014Amazing medium sized venue! Top notch and modern facilities, much cleanliness and excellent sound.
- Fantastic venue, beautiful and small with great sound. Perfect place for the iTunes Festival
I was rather impressed with the seated area when at gigs. Very impressive views. (If you manage to avoid the pillars)
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.
Amazing venue for gigs, still a mystery as to how you gets seats upstairs though!
G CMay 1, 2012One of my favourite venues. Well organised, good bars, great acoustics, and a varied list of acts.
Michaela WatkinsonSeptember 22, 2015Gorgeous venue. Try stand in a place where the pillar won't get in the way.
Bea Matti August 3, 2015A beach in London? Just awesome. They don't make the best cocktails though..- Drowned in SoundJanuary 25, 2011An 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.
