Islington Assembly Hall Reviews

Very nice with security, well organized and good sound. Perfect

Bit dated but great acoustics and that is what matters

Pretty good venue, well staffed, lift to the loo wasn't operational. Very reasonably priced though, prefer it to the o2 islington

Went for a concert .. not such a good location for music gigs

Excellent venue in the heart of Islington, which is in a great part of London. Great sound too.

A great venue once you get to it. Recommend tube over parking. Intimate venue bit quite a bit of crowd noise.

Superb venue! Had a great time with what it had on offer as entertainment for the day.

Nice place easy to reach alot of bus stops and also tube station if you are small business they offer you to display your product. For more details check there website

Great venue - stalls (standing or seated) and balcony. Two bars and great atmosphere

Very good acoustics, nice intimate venue with a relaxed vibe

I went for a less traditional event, a panel talk and the energy was really nice there was no staff on this event so I can't comment on that, but the room itself is beautiful!

Pretty standard venue and sound, not really designed for a gig as the bar size is tiny - could only fir two staff on each small bar and took a very long time to get through to get served.

Nice place, shame that the artist made us wait 2 hours before stating that he would not be coming on...

Brilliant venue with excellent acoustics, just the right size as well, unlike stadiums and arenas you can still see the band from the back, had a great time

Venue ok, but security approach, didn't feel very secure. Checking outside before going in, and being left outside for about another 30 minutes, so anyone could pass something back to someone going in. But did confiscate people's chewing gum.

Nice sized gig venue with friendly staff. Sound is good. Attracts an interesting mixture of acts.

Nice hall for a lecture, will have to return to see how it is for music etc

A lovely venue, very polite staff and easy to get around.

Great venue for concerts, friendly bar staff, spacious cloakroom and clean toilets!

Good disabled viewing area at gigs with access to separate toilet and access to bar. Helpful stewards

This was the first time I had ever been to the Islington Assembly Hall and it was a fantastic experience.

It was well laid out, all of the staff were actually friendly - one of the security guards actually wished me to have a good night! Unheard of these days!

It's a cute little venue with both standing and seating room. What really impressed me were the acoustics. I was at an acoustic show and the way the sound just moved through that room made it really special!

I hope more bands continue to book this venue as it's a pleasure to go there and really well located. Steps away from Angel / Highbury&Islington and loads of restaurants/bars nearby for before and after the show.

Really good venue, decent bar, easily accessible from North or South

Stunning old theatre on the way to Angel, London. Beautiful acoustics for live bands.

Watched the London Burlesque Festival here. Lovely venue with great decor and good atmosphere. The stage is a little high up for the people sitting downstairs though as the seating leaves you below the stage height. Drink prices are very expensive.

Great, intimate venue. Merch stand doesn't take card which is a shame

Really nice space, i was there for the wedding fair. The people were also really lovely.

The Assembly Hall is at the more civilised end of the spectrum of music venues. The security staff are friendly, the bars have a wider selection of drinks than many, and the whole place is clean and well kept. Sound quality isn't always the greatest, but that's about all I can criticise it for.

Great gigs venue with awesome pubs and restaurant nearby.

First tine here and what a great find. Good size venue and a great sound. Bars well run but as with most venues expensive. Plenty of options nearby for drinks. Highly recommend this venue.

A large venue which has carpeted public areas and a traditional style hall with a high stage. This means for a standing gig the views are good. Sound is also very good. There is a balcony as well. Toilets are in the basement level.

Nice venue for seated events. The sound is OK if it's loud enough, even if does reverberate a bit.

Great customer service, good sound and atmosphere. Will go again!

Great music venue, up close and personal, great view.

Love this venue and should be used more often for music gigs. Well organised and staffed. Thanks for a great evening

Ok venue. Seats cramped upstairs. Concert we saw was brilliant.

Was here for the Queensryche gig last week. First visit & was impressed, nice venue, nice staff & queue to get in moved quickly.

The ticket for a show stated it would have started at 7pm but on our arrival we were told it would have started at 9pm. Staff was really impolite and just shrugged it off.
The venue is super small and operates a no drink policy.

Saw a bottle of red served in two pint glasses; that s how to enjoy Billy Bragg!

Was in a wedding ceremony here. Great majestic rooms.

An excellent music venue in North London, near to Highbury & Islington station to get to and from the location. The door staff were very polite and friendly. Inside has a large floor area with well stocked two bars either side of the stage. I believe there is seating upstairs for increased capacity. Overall a great place.

BC Camplight, absolutely superb. Great place, just the right size and the friendliest bar staff you could ever meet up on the balcony. Can t wait to go back again, thanks for a top night.

Good place with good small concerts. Comfortable...

An amazing venue, accessibility is fantastic, they can't do enough for you and your needs. All the staff from admin to door are lovely and comforting. The sound quality of the room is by far some of the best atmosphere I have experienced. I can not thank them enough for making such a lovely stress free visit.

Lovely small intimate venue. Was in the balcony seats.

Great venue for the concert I attended,I'd go back if I get the chance.

Quite a small flat but very nice, good sound system :)

Lovely venue for a gig! Just be warned in these summer months it can get very, very hot due to lack of air conditioning! The staff were fab and handed out water so that's a plus! Also the stage is pretty high meaning that smaller people can see more than you might have imagined. Would love to come again soon!

Islington Assembly Hall is a Grade II listed live music venue and events space on Upper Street, Islington, London.

When to see Femi Kuti! He was on fire and the crowd was lapping it up! Not so keen on the venue a bit staid, saying that it is easy to get to!
