Roundhouse Studios Review

Check out their website for updates - their shows and gigs are consistently good to excellent. Photo taken at #ClubSwizzle performance

LA night pretty woman.. It was lovely afternoon.. Beach and cocktails

Great venue for live music. Really good acoustics, plenty of bars (not too long a wait even at a sold-out show) and a decent selection of drinks too.

Worst place ever for a concert. There are columns in the middle of the venue and if u get tickets for seating area u get good chance to have the sight totally blocked from one of the columns. So u pay a ticket to listen but no to see.
I will never come again to see a live show.
If u can avoid it, avoid.

A great venue. Has a great atmosphere. Have always been in the standing section. There are several bars. There is usually a cloakroom to check your bags and coats in to. It can take quite a long time to get out of this place as there only seems to be one set of doors out.

Brilliant venue. Nice and intimate but big enough to get great atmosphere. Imagine Dragons were awesome!

Immaculately restored building, and a one of my favourite venues in London, although doesn't allow drinks into the main arena (at least when we were there it didn't!)

I love the Roundhouse. They programme incredible acts and all the commercial work they do goes to support their charitable aims of developing promising young artists, musicians and writers. The spoken word programme is particularly good and poetry shows are always really well done. However! If you're going to see a gig there and you have standing tickets, I would hugely recommend getting in early to get a good spot. Though the venue isn't huge, the sightlines and acoustics aren't wonderful, so you can be not too far from the stage but still unable to see a thing, or it can feel like you're involved in the gig. Having said that, crowds there are usually quite polite, so if you do work your way forwards you'll have a great time.
Drinks are the usual expensive gig prices.

Do not buy tickets from their box office, they give the option of posting the tickets and do not post them, i bought 2 tickets as a surprise for my brother and the tickets did not appear they say i cannot get refund... absolute BANDITS!

Inside is amazing the infrastructure... So characteristic...perfect to see live band.

Had our work party here. The building has an excellent atmosphere, and the staff are proficient and efficient.

The audio acoustics were much better at the shepherd's Bush empire, but the venue itself is miles ahead. Loved the bar and the toilets are quite clean. Good vibes and no thieves.

One of the best music venues in London.
Bar is often rammed and difficult to be served. Prices reasonable London pricing.

Amazing venue that has hosted some of the finest musicians. Beautiful lighting and sound.

Great venue which has seen many near deaths but is thriving now

Had an amazing evening watching Cinematic orchestra

Brilliant music venue with decent facilties, drink prices are reasonable as well.

Epic live venue with an inspiring youth development programme

Everything was alright, but we waited a lot to go out

Beautiful venue. If you're short its hard to see the stage

Fantastic venue, great atmosphere and brilliant acoustics! One of the best venues I've ever been to and the outside space is fantastic. Will definitely be booking again.

One of my favourite venues in London. Great layout for gigs, performance arts and atmosphere!

Excellent gig venue that's kept the original features of the building (ex train house with turntable - hence it's round). Sound quality was good, I enjoyed myself!

Ordered Tickets for a gig in February, back in October 2018.
Their own website states that the tickets will be mailed out 2 weeks before the performance and if I hadn't received them 7 days prior to get in touch with them.
They didn't arrive, and then they tell me that they were sent out.
They weren't. I have lived at my current address for 12 years and have never lost anything in the post. Ever.
I emailed them 3 times and only received the excuse after the 3rd. I also rang their line first thing after 9.30am, and was cut off.
They won't allow me to come and pick up the tickets before the night, nor will they offer a refund.
This is outrageous.
It's incumbent on them - seeing as I'm spending the cash - to make sure I get the tickets well in time, and seemingly they haven't managed this.

Good venue with decent sound and nice security. Let down by lack of hand drying facilities (electronic broken and no paper towels). Also the bar service of some, but not all, bar members was really poor.

My favourite live music venue in the UK, arguably the world.

Exciting location, very nice lighting effects, good acoustics, very compact, inside a small bar for drinks. The British are cool, relaxed atmosphere. If likes very much !!!

Went to see Giggs perform at Charity event. Venue is huge. Show was amazing. Staff were great

Need to be more organised next time we call by and have tickets already booked

My first concert experience at The iTunes Festival 2013. Lady Gaga was amazing!

Last night was a bit special. My 2nd Heilung event and a definite improvement on the first one (which was good, but they're getting better). The soundstage seemed of better quality than the Islington Assembly Hall venue used last year. The warriors, Maria and especially Kai were a lot more aware of the audience and seemed to want to "bring us in" more. The Warriors had more to do and there was more choreography used.
Songs were a mix of the last two albums. You can't go wrong with Krigsgaldr or Hamrer Hyppyer (which is made extra special by the invasion of the audience by the warriors) but the first single from the new album, Norupo, was spectacular - the addition of the female chorus an added bonus.
I really need to learn the words...

What a night.

Good venue. Clean and Neat!
Good dancefloor, good seating and easy access. Bars on each floor are a plus.

4.5 stars - I really like this venue, location, service, space, events are all excellent. The only reason I don't give a 5 is when it's busy shorter people at the back can't see much. But there's always space to move around and there is a balcony.

The best venue for concerts, I saw Bacharach there years ago. The entire area has such a positive vibe!

Obviously each gig is unique so its hard to comment on that but the staff seem to be especially friendly at all events!

Poor acoustics. I saw the Ronettes. I was a fair way back but it was very loud and my hearing is now permanently damaged. I now have constant ringing in my ears. They should provide warnings, earplugs and meters showing the decibel level. I will never go there again.

Great venue, came for the Dido gig. Get there early or the queue to get in is horrendous.

Saw frightened rabbit here, amazing atmosphere, the venue is great, the acoustics are spectacular.

Great venue for live music. Acoustics were among the best I've experienced in over 30years of attending gigs. Usual prices for drinks at this kind of venue which always annoys me. My only criticism was that the venue main doors opened nearly an hour before we were allowed into the stage area and we were made to wait on a staircase inside for all that time, if there had been an evacuation it would have been chaos.

Good performance venue, unusually wide range of drinks for a music venue, good view of the band, determined to contribute to the community of Camden.

Spectacular 3000 capacity venue with good visibility and acoustics.

Great venue easy to get beer but needs more gents loos

Great venue, one of the best in London. Though sound system could be better.

I went to see a concert here and the venue looks amazing. The architecture looks new with an old style. Really nice.

Great venue. Saw KT Tunstall, great concert. Close to tube, drinks not over priced. Had a great evening.

Excellent accessibility and helpfulness of staff. Views can be obscured when seated by the metal pillars.

Really interesting building which is well conditioned and airy. Great sound and nice large stage

I've been to the Roundhouse twice now, and it's one of my favourite venues in London. The layout of the venue is great, the stage and lighting look amazing, and the staff are friendly and extremely helpful.

Very cool building with a bunch of interesting happening throughout the year

A fantastic space, and I've never been let down by anything I've seen here, always excellent shows!

Unique performance art venue and big sound system for gigs.

A range of initiatives mean your tickets will contribute towards youth and deserving projects.

The main space looks incredible and larger that you may expect from viewing outside, during busy events the bar is too busy so don't rely on it and go for a drink nearby instead. The restaurant seems good if you plan and book ahead. If we're lucky they will continue running their urban beach in the car park during the summer.

If booking tickets for certain events where you can choose seats in the inner circle ensure you do because the beams holding the roof up, although thin, aren't invisible and may obstruct your view.

Grab every chance you get to visit. Every event feels new and the area is ideal for drinks and food.

Saw the Pixies - who were amazing. The venue was ace, too although three ticket checks seem a little too much on the way in. My wife even commented how good the sound was and the drinks prices weren't terminal for central London. If you arrive after 1830 there is heaps of on-street parking, which worked very well for us, to get home to the Isle of Wight afterwards

Amazing venue and arts centre. It's a recently refurbished building with antique roots, so everything is much higher quality and less... Sticky... Than other music venues. The sound quality is fantastic and the layout is very well thought out. I've seen a few bands here and some other stage shows and it really is a dream venue.

I had a 'fun' experience with security and management over my camera one night I was there, but I'm not going to let a couple of obnoxious uneducated staff that probably don't work there any more ruin a review of this landmark venue. Just make sure that if you go, take a camera with a small lens on the front to get around their laughable policy on camera sizes.

The bar staff were smiley and enthusiastic, and the beer was pretty good for a music venue (probably due to clean, new beer lines).

There's a very varied programme here, so even if there isn't a band you like playing, drop by one of the rising talent nights or another performance. You won't regret it.

A wonderful venue. I had the very great pleasure of seeing the Rival Sons play here the other week, and I can confirm that the sound was excellent! Very close to Chalk Farm tube station.

The roundhouse has excellent acoustics, toilets and bars nearby every entrance/exit to the music venue floor. Saw Heilung tonight, blown away. Couple years ago I saw Puscifer, equally amazing. It's a great venue. It's clean. It's got good More

I love the place, but I think the sound should be better. I love the recycling of an old building... It is in Camden... But if they improve the sound in the seating area would be awesome

Great venue. Circular, so all areas get a pretty good view.

The best venue ever the staff is very friendly too!

Latin American voices, amazing show!!!
Powerful scenes.

On the booking system, they should show the countdown of tickets sold, because this show was so popular, many people came thinking to buy tickets on the door, not expecting it to be totally sold out.

Checked in here last night for the Jorge Drexler concert. Not the first time I've been, and absolutely not the last either. Was here for Mike Shinoda last year too.

Fantastic venue, lighting and audio production are always on point. Absolutely love the work they do with youths and their underground rehearsal studios. Great job Roundhouse!

A truly classic London venue. You have to pay attention where you're booking so your view isn't obscured by a pillar, though. Have seen bands, orchestras and circus here, all memorable. The staff are lovely.

Ace venue. Fantastic sound system and acoustics, lines of sight mostly great and plays host to deserving bands. And the security staff are nice and actually treat music fans like humans.
