Small inside. But it's good because you can actually see the act / acts that you've paid to see lol.

Great place with good view from pretty much anywhere. Amazing bar and security staff who really watch out for the crowd. All in all the venue was nothing but pleasure to be in

Another small scale concert hall, nothing impressive, functional.

Great Venue for Gigs and Headbanging concerts. The place is beautiful in itself so I would recommend it.

Great venue. I have been here multiple times. Friendly staff, great acoustics and fair priced drinks (For London) I would say the size feels similar to somewhere like the Shepard's Bush Empire as opposed to a bigger venue like the Apollo. Hope to come back soon

THE RASMUS DEAD LETTERS TOUR EDDIE STOILOW SUPPORTING.

GREAT Venue!
Friendly staff.
KRS_ONE was AMAZING (July2016).

Great venue. Sound was spot on. Decent size. Queuing was a bit much though. Que in, que to put your jacket away, que for drink. Standard stuff but took ages. Also no bar close to the middle / front of stage area making it a pain to get a drink and back where you were. Also bar at the top / entrance way too small for the amount of people there. Spot on show though.

I have been going to this venue for years and it should be fantastic, but it's not. There are regularly issues with sound and the beer selection is diabolical.

One of the last great London venues, great stage and sound, bars on either side and good views regardless of position.

Good acoustics, love the bar in the arena, not too sure how safe it would be with heavier bands as there seem to be steps and barriers everywhere in the stalls...

This place is good for live music, but as a clubbing venue it's really rather dark and not at all fun. Long queues for the cloakroom, feet constantly being stood on, drinks spilt everywhere. Fine, you expect this in most clubs to a degree, but this takes some of the least enjoyable aspects and magnifies them. And the toilets... I feel ill just thinking about them. Stick to the live band events.

Amazing building for events with a really nice atmosphere! Had a good time here!

Possibly my favorite venue in London..shame about the drink prices and lack of Ales on offer..Not everyone drinks Carlsberg or Guinness...!!!

Dreadful sound quality. Had to leave early as it was unbearable. Won't be returning.

Great place to see a band. Good views of stage and plenty of room even when sold out (Fat White Family, Brilliant). Helpful and friendly staff and crowd, particularity appreciated as I had a temporary mobility disability at the time.

Nice venue, and easy to get to. Drinks a bit pricey but it is London hey!!

Toilets were shocking and they don't let you have caps for your beer!? Apart from that great venue for a show!

No queue on most of the doors to get in, but then found out only O2 customers were allowed in that way (No signs) and everyone else had to queue round the block! Staff inside were friendly and helpful.

Nice venue, cosy environment. Really enjoyed my Highly Suspect concert there

It was good. Went there to see NF. Venue is quite small but you can always see the performer. Wish there was any places to sit down. Was stood up for a straight 3 hours.

Kane Brown was amazing, annoyingly had to wait over 2 hours after the doors opened before he started but was worth the wait!

This is an amazing venue. It has its unique atmosphere. So easy to access from underground, nice bar area, spacious facilities.

Good little venue. It's hard to give an overall score as I suppose it depends who you go and see there & what they are like! The facilities are good.

Great venue but unfortunately the most boring gig I've ever been too

Expensive drinks for london but seating was comfortable and audio was good

5 stars for Mr Sturgill Simpson. That was an absolute privilege.

An amazing show but the cloak room is just too small especially if you're going to a sold out event, its about a metre wide and you can easily get extremely packed in with people rushing in. I nearly missed my train because of it too! 3 bars and a tiny cloak room.

Very nice gig venue, reasonable bar usual bar prices for the area.

Beautiful old building, smallish venue , great acoustics, easy to get too, great views from VIP balcony. BUT it gets crazy super hot, no aircon as its an old building- i was told but no fans either..i still enjoyed the concert. #nacholondres2019

Attended the Alabama 3 show on 31 March. The sound was horrible! Too much low end. Could not hear other instruments. Really pitiful.

Great place for a concert. Plenty of bars and staff. Pleasant security staff and good acoustics. We will be back.

Had an amazing time at the 119 Lacuna Coil concert. Great venue. Helpful and friendly staff.

In need of a face-lift, expensive drinks and not very easy at all to navigate through crowds.

Excellent Avantasia concert in the mythical O2 room.

Saw a concert here great venue lots of space, bars and a clock room

Small venue straight view of the stage no matter where you are

Good venue. Good size not too big ,so you aren't too far from the stage.

Had its problems in the past with dodgy ticket resales

It was great. You can tell they have put a lot of thought in to how the soical distancing will work and everything ran really smoothly. The order in your seat for drinks was really well done and was very quick.
Also the show was great!

Great gig, but queueing system was very confusing and security checks were very intimidating. Very little signage outside and couldn't handle the volume of people at the bar

Love this place - great gigs friendly and helpful staff. Leave the building with respect though as local residents are in constant battle to close it through complaints

BRILLIANT venue great view of stage wherever you sit / stand

Good concert, but queuing situation is so bad that fans had to control it instead of the staff.

Great venue but they closed the cloak room during the show so we couldn't get our stuff - would be alright if they warned you about this

Decent venue, just wish the seating was a bit better. Have a broken back, sitting on a bench with naught to lean back on is a bit excruciating. Drinks are overpriced. Overall, enjoyable.

Great venue for gigs but the price of the beer is criminal hence 3 stars otherwise great spot to watch a gig

Didn't actually go to a gig, walked by, looks like a dump
