One of my favourite venues in London. Stage is relatively big and of a great height so the view is pretty much unobstructed from anywhere in the venue. The sound is always great, and there is usually a lot of floor space even if the venue is pretty busy. The bar area is fairly small however, and generally there is a bit of a queue, and the prices are a little on the high side for what you're getting. But I guess that's the case for most venues. Merch stands are usually found outside the main floor area, and the toilets are a bit of a walk down some stairs, however, this isn't really much of an issue. I've also sat upstairs for some shows. The seating can be a little cramped, but the view is great and the sound is good too. Overall, I am generally happy to attend shows at this venue.
