1st time I'd been to the roundhouse in a few years,we were off to see the Thunder Christmas show,great gig by the way.everything was good about the venue,it was clean & tidy,staff were really pleasant,they had a decent choice of beer at the bar,the only downside was the queue to get in.
Noce athmosphere on L.P. comcert . We came from Romania for LP at RoindHouse and Eric Clapton at Royal Albert Hall. Kinde personel, good atmosphere at the bar. Sound was set for rock music . Not my style. It can not be compared with Royal Albert acustic.
Lovely place to visit and to work in. Fantastic staff.
Really enjoyed my first visit to the roundhouse really nice venue for music need to sort out the merch stand staff though they're so slow was waiting for over an hour in line missed the support act
Probably more ti do with sound engineer, but poor sound. So quiet.
What a venue. Unrivalled sound quality and great atmosphere.
One of the best places to see live music in London. Consistently features great acts, and the venue itself is well-designed and attractive.
Surprisingly spacious venue. Easy access to bars. Really good seating...able to watch band comfortably and good views even from circle. Very civilised and safe as a woman to enter and leave an entertainment venue. Looking forward to going to the next gig. Easy to get to from tube station.
Nice selection of ales. Better view from upstairs in this old train shed.
Beautiful place. Sound quality was not as good as expected. Might have been the mix rather than the roundhouse fault though.
London's iconic venue, where the best bands in the world perform..It's a place to visit absolutely when you go to London!
Love this venue. Nice cafe. We were queing most of the day for a gig. Able to go inside to grab a drink and use the facilities which was great.
The venue for one of my fave gigs that night.
It's very cool. The design is lovely and it's the right audience capacity to actually see and hear bands and artists. Lots of variety of shows.
Slightly disappointed in this infamous venue. I booked a balcony seat and lots of seats are partially spoilt by the many venue uprights and/or the framework of the balcony seating. The balcony seating feels very "temporary" to me ie. it was stainless steel looking frame and where I sat was very rattly when anyone walked behind me along the walk way. It felt like temporary seating you would erect for an event and not the best for me. Downstairs was standing only if you are happy to stand for 3 hours then this might be the best for getting the best vibe. Sound was great, staff were friendly and efficient on guiding customers to their seats and facilities good. Would go again but pay attention to seating position when booking the balcony to avoid the stair well access and metal uprights (and the front row would be the best view).
Historic and beautiful location to watch imagine dragons. The sound was amazing here. Nice location .
An excellent venue for live music. One of London's best iconic landmarks
I adore this venue. I ve been here for gigs and nights out and it s brilliant. If you get to see a band here you know it will be a good night. You re guaranteed an intimate experience. The bars could be a little better stocked and staffed , especially on sink the pink where it was 5 deep to get to the bar!
Would love to come back here again to see more gigs and performances.
Great venue with appropriate name. Great sound and atmosphere.
Cinematic Orchestra gig was good, the mix wasn't blowing me away, but staff was so friendly, great atmosphere
What a brilliant place for conferences & I'd imagine gigs too. Love the layout
Amazing acoustics, friendly staff, decent smoking area, reasonable beer prices, shame about amount of toilets when N audience is gender strong
A great venue with excellent sound quality! Always way too hot, but that's part of the fun! Plus it's great that they are now serving water from tins and not plastic bottles.
Great venue. Sound is fabulous because of the shape of the building.
I wouldn't go again. I'm sure others will have had a different experience.
Excellent music venue, atmosphere by the gazillions, not bad tarif too considering what you get for it. Music should be played in a place like this, with the decor to carry it further than the ears. History smiles upon minstrels of this different age, ... the past and the future banged heads and took a pint and some nosh on the town last night and it was so good we had to do it all over again soon afterwards.
Went on the sandy beach roof this summer. They really tried hard to bring the summer to London. They failed but not for lack of dedication.
I got a free coca cola beach towel though and went to a real beach some time later.
I liked this venue. I was sat in the upper seats, so my view was a little disrupted by poles. But it was fine.
This is the venue to catch your favourite band at. Small and intimate with great acoustics and vision lines to the stage due to the shape.
Remember this building from rock concerts in the 1970s when rubble and dust was everywhere. Now it's a smart modern facility handy for the tube and local pubs and restaurants. Very impressive transformation . Staff were friendly and helpful. Men's toilets got a bit busy so time your trip. Recommended.
A fantastic venue, great outdoor bar space, clean toilets and very friendly staff, loved it
Amazing venue, this was originally used for turning steam trains is now an excellent multi purpose venue with flexible staging. The building is worth a visit in itself. We saw Madness who were excellent. Plenty of standing room downstairs with the seating around the upper areas. Well staffed by enthusiastic efficient staff. Good access, bars and toilets. Definitely put on your list to visit.
Best large venue in London! Great view from everywhere, easy to get a pint!
The venue was good to very good... But getting out was abit of a problem... I wouldn't want to be in an emergency... The exit is poor in design.. Van Morrison was great though....privilege to see him.
Fantastic venue, well organised, good layout, excellent sound.
The Roundhouse is amazing and offers a smaller, unique venue that just needs to be experienced compared to the larger arenas and stadiums. I was lucky enough to win free tickets to see Pharrell Williams as part of the Itunes music festival. Location is convenient and close walk to Chalk Farm station. The layout is such that even if you are standing far back you are still relatively close to the stage and there is even upstairs seating as well. There are plenty of washrooms and easy access to the bar and cloakrooms.
Great Venue, Friendly Staff, Really loved the architecture
A nice, pretty intimate venue. There's a standing part near the stage on the ground floor, and seats above on the first floor. The acoustics were very bassy at times, and sometimes the background music was louder than the vocalist! The staff were friendly and accommodating.
Nice place to do studio time in the midi sweets and studios and a nice performance area and band rooms for practicing a media lab for making music, editing videos and more things. Please note that you have to be between ages 11-25 years old More
An iconic venue with very good movement around the auditorium and easily accessible bars. The flat arena floor isn't ideal if stood at the back but there is always a view to be had from the sides.
This little venue excels every time. There literally isn't a bad place to stand in the entire place. Been here three times and while the bands have varied (Paulo Nutini & Laura Marling were magical; The Zutons not so much) the venue is great. Safe space.
Gorgeous place with obvious history. For once drinks aren't crazy pricey either. About 5.50 for a pint which is good for London! We saw Fink and it was a super chilled show. All staff were nice and we had a great night.
Lovely venue! It's is enormous inside but very well laid out although I don't recall seeing any disabled access?
Beautiful venue, insanely immersive - seems to be frequent trouble with pickpockets during gigs though - be aware!
Good venue, a lot of bars, terrible for jackets and queues
Great venue.Good view.Superb sound . Easy to get to with good transport links.Events i hsve been to here have been reasonably priced.
I went here for the first time to an iTunes gig.
it was much better than I had expected, it is a big place but the concert hall isn't too big. It has a different look about it which I liked.
There are a few bars and didn't have to queue long for a drink.
I would go to watch a gig here again.
Cool venue - not sure about the Acoustics - maybe I was just feeling off that day....
Sister Sledge great gig. Great venue. Bars were busy wait for the act to come on to get uour drinks
