By far my favourite live music venue in London - I've been lucky enough to see so many varied shows here, as well as a bit of circus and danced all night at some more lively club events.
Located nearer to Chalk Farm station than Camden, but great to head into Camden for a few drinks before going to the venue, the bars get busy, and are cash only most of the time.
Amazing and historic place, great place to hold small shows
Incredible live music venue. Great acoustics, imposing surroundings and an overall great place for a gig. Can't wait to go back for another.
Gig was great. We spent more time queuing for our bag at the end than we did watching the band - no exaggeration. After an hour the security started to help out in the cloakroom to avoid a riot. Shocking management. I ve enjoyed coming here in the past but am wondering whether I ll bother again
Great venue, saw Parcels here Dec 2018 if you have the chance to see any one here don t hesitate.
Clean modern venue , helpful staff .
Organised and run like a well oiled machine .
Fabulous place. Any chance you get to see a production here just go!
Great venue standing or seated. Sound is great wherever you are too. Insane drinks prices and not enough choice, but that's venues for you. Shame the floor isn't slightly sloped - a bit difficult for us short folk to see everything!
Roundhouse has an excellent concert hall (Godspeed you Black emperor!) and a nice rooftop, hosting tue famous Camden beach every summer; no water, but lots of sand, Hawaiian music, cocktails and giant jenga awaits the visitor. Very unique experience, highly recommended.
One of the most beautiful evenings of my life ... Robbie Williams 7 October 2019
Fantastic music venue, good facilities and most importantly great sound.
Great venue.
The space is often used very well creativity.
I visited The Roundhouse, London to see Adam Ant in concert. I had to change my tickets due to taking my disabled Mother. The staff acted quickly and very efficiently in the ticket change. Picking my new tickets up on the night, I was greeted by a very pleasant receptionist, and my tickets were immediately swapped. All staff were a credit to The Roundhouse. I shall certainly look forward to visiting again.
Another great venue for live music, I have been here a few times for the iTunes festival, its in a great part of London and not that far from the tube station. Drinks can be pretty expensive during music events.
Went on the 10th of March to see mike shinoda,bought the ticket from a different person so I ask some help and call the venue if was any problem,the staff was very helpful and when I arrived (at the last minute) just 5 minuts before was starting I collected my ticket without any problem showing the letter of authorisation with my ID. Good place and good location for transport after the show finish and great venue!
Maybe the best music venue I've been too. Sounds good, looks good... The cocktail in children's plastic cups is an embarrassment to us all though. Let's be honest.
The venue was the best part of the concert, really lovely repurposing of an old space
This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite venues in London.
If you go to a gig, you'll find yourself in a very unique setup, with a very peculiar arquitecture that makes concerts quite something special. The acoustics are usually top notch, and if you get a sit in the circles upstairs you'll really have it all!
In addition to that, it's one of the venues with the best organisation on the way in and quite good one on the way out. Very conveniently located and easy to reach from a number of stations.
The staff are very nice and helpful, no matter how many of us are about asking for the same question time and again!
The facilities are well taken care of and quite new. No massive queues either, usually, which is very nice indeed. Oh! And don't miss Camden beach on the rooftop during the summer months ;)
Drinks queue was long 30 minutes before and during the event, get there early and buy as many drinks as you can carry.
Venue looks awesome and the temperature was pleasant on the balcony even in a packed Machine Head gig. Great venue!
Great venue - good acoustics and atmosphere, clean washrooms, and they dealt well with the amount of people. They even had less generic beers on tap than most venues. Close to the tube too.
Awesome venue never been before and the gig was seamless
Parked in morrisons via parking app, so close and cheap. Roundhouse great atmosphere and experience
Unbelievable sound here great venue highly recomend
Such a classy little joint. Inside bar in the performance area. A great place to watch acts
Really love this venue. Concert of Sharon van etten was amazing.
Amazing place for rehearsal, good deal for 25 under years old musicians
Honestly one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Everything was spot on.
The staff from the ticket desk, to the security, cloakroom and the bar staff. All courteous, fast and efficient. Your staff are a credit to your venue.
The main roundhouse is an amazing live performance arena, the stage is clearly visible from everywhere. Air conditioning is set to just the right level, even the floor isn't sticky.
The sound was truly one of the best I've ever heard at a gig in recent memory. Honestly awesome, I heard every note, every softly spoken lyric and at the same time every beat from the TWO drummers playing on stage who where absolutely smashing it. My compliments to the team.
The stage lighting was also awesome, really turned this gig into a performance i will remember for a long time.
Highly recommended.
Thank you for making our evening at the Fink thoroughly enjoyable.
A really nice venue. The sound system is the best around, better than most venues, you can hear and enjoy real musicians. There is no massive boom bass dominance. There is no seating or even a slight incline on the floor, so if your short it may be a challenge, but you'll really hear you're band live like they deserve.
Well organised, lovely staff, good beer and great venue.
Iconic concert and performing arts venue. Gets some great acts and is more intimate than other venues. It is round (as the name suggests!) It has been lovingly restored and maintained inside. I have always thought that the acoustics are good. Nice bar and the food is ok also lots of other places around to eat / Camden is close by. As all venues be prepared for ling waits though. Chalk farm is the closest tube stop.
We went to the roundhouse to watch a film on their beach rooftop terrace. The setting was great but i decided to bring some snacks with me as i am a vegan and its always hard to find food at places like this. Not only was the food i brought taken off me but the only thing they offered inside was full fat greasy American mac and cheese and nothing else. Thankz a bunch
The Roundhouse is one of the best venues to see bands. Rival Sons were brill, the hall has a great atmosphere it's not too big. Pity they don't serve decent beer.
Favourite music venue, great sound and views all round, plenty of bars
Great venue, never before seen shorter queues for the female toilets than the male..
Good place for concerts, rather small/medium in size. Two bars. Seats available.
Visited on Sun 24 March as my daughter was there to see Dodie.
The venue and staff were superb - really helpful and seemed genuinely friendly. The bar was easy to get to and prices as expected. We had seated tickets.
My only gripe would be the door opened at 1900 and the first supporting act was 1915. The queue to get in was so vast and moved so slow we didn't get in until 2000. Maybe that's normal but it was a shame.
Showsec security were there usual quality. The chap the searched me with a metal detector took all of 10 seconds and he managed to search my whole bag in about 5. Don't bother doing it if you don't do it properly. It's pointless!
One of my favourite venues. Excellent sound quality and handy for local amenities
Architecturally a fantastic venue but does suffer from dodgy acoustics at times. Not the best live music venue in London, alas.
25th January 2020, Yet another brilliant time at the roundhouse,
# Badly drawn boy , a brilliant music
Venue, keeping music live,
One of the best venues for shows and concerts! Exceptional sound quality and no matter where you are you can have a very good view from the stage! The bars are also strategic positioned so you better served. Clean toilets and the venue itself is very easily accessed by public tranport- just perfect
One of my favourite music venues in London. Generally have a good view wherever you are. Good size. Good acoustics. Nice staff.
This is one of the iconic music venues in London for a reason. When you do come for a gig here there is a conveniently located cloak room and plenty of toilets and bars.
A lovely venue - really unique inside. Surprisingly good bar prices too considering location
Great venu for live events. Be careful on the stairs on the way out if busy though!
i went to see Zak Abel there and it was so good. I was really surprised and happy because everyone who worked there were nice. it s so lovely to go to a venue who got good employees.
thank you to the whole team, but especially Ahmzz
Great standing music venue and a gem like performance from Caro
Beautiful venue. Great nights here....bar selection & service could be improved
I'd head down here for another gig, great wee space.
A decent venue yet very basic in terms of music variety
Fantastic venue. Questioned the quality of the acoustics initially but my fears were soon allayed! Nice bars with good selection and right in the heart of one of London's most fun areas.
Reasonably priced tickets to see great acts. Fantastic sound quality and really friendly staff including security
Fantastic venue. Very small so you get right up to the act
Beautifully restored. Very little seating in a circular balcony. A wide stage at far end means the best sound is probably in the centre of the arena.
