In the summer the roof of the roundhouse is transformed into "Camden Beach", a sand filled outdoor drinks space.

Very popular, long queues to get in, but once you're past the door staff there's plent of room with lovely cocktails and drinks, deckchairs, beach balls and live music.

Fun night out, though that's it now for summer 2013. Hopefully the beach will return next summer!

Great venue for the night, backyard cinema was absolutely fantastic with the whole beach theme. Amazing setting with lights and bean bag chairs and sand on the floor. Most of all I lied that they had dappa vegan icecream there!

Great venue. No need to queue for drinks as plenty of bars with efficient staff. The best and cleanest toilets I've ever used! The only negative thing was that they could have opened more doors for people to exit through at the end of the gig.

Great small venue.

Great small venue.
Loved the place and the organisation during gigs and other events.
Very cool structure, worth a visit just for that.
It's also one of the best spaces for gigs, with many options to have a good view of the stage.

Plenty of bars, always lively event space and a great live music venue (as well as all the arts and educational aspects of the venue). Plenty of good bars/restaurants in walking distance to it as well for before/after

Totally fabulous venue. Great sound, great views of stage. Plenty of bars and staff very friendly and efficient. Been here a few times now and always look forward to going. Cate le Bon was the support act, I loved her even more than the band we were originally drawn to, Deerhunter.

The legendary, immensely stylish yet still friendly Camden music venue. Post-industrial nature of the building nicely balances the recent, hi-tech refurbishment, the place doesn't feel sterile and pleasant acoustic-wise. Roundhouse maintains consistently high design standards - from interior elements to posters. A pleasure to visit.

One of the best venues I have ever been to. The building is incredible and every seat or position gives you a great view of the artists on stage. Also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend to anyone. My father is disabled and even though it is central London they have a private car park on site just for disabled people who can't use public transport. They really do cater for everyone and all staff at the roundhouse are extremely helpful. I simply cannot say enough good things about the place. Only downside is having to cope with London traffic! Oh and FYI they don't sell scotch at the bar, how weird is that!!

Much, MUCH bigger than it looks from the outside - cracking acoustics and great capacity. They seem to slightly undersell the main floor which means that at gigs you get a fair amount of space to move around and it's easy to get back to the bar. Went here for a Twin Atlantic gig - they absolutely smashed it!

Great and unique venue with an interesting history. The layout lends itself perfectly to live perfomance, and they always have a great line up and exciting shows on offer. During the summertime they also host Camden Beach on their roof, which is a great spot for on sunny day.

Came here for the Dido Concert. Was sitting at the top . View to the stage is good. However, people standing downstairs were noisy and affected the concert. Staff showing me to the seat was friendly.

Amazing venue for gigs. The ceiling, the space, the sound makes for a goosebumps experience. Coat-check queues can be crazy. There's smoking areas upstairs. You can't enter the bar if you don't have tickets. Recommend to have your tickets at home without having to queue for collection.

Cool looking venue. Amazing bar and restaurant.
The concert area is a bit tricky for shorter people as the arena has no slant. The floor is flat so if you end up at the end or behind a taller person.. You can't see anything. At the same time it doesn't feel overcrowded

Always a pleasure to come here to this fine venue with adequate bars and of course standing space. Not too big inside which lends to a more intimate performance. Have seen Siouxsie, Paul Weller, Echo and Bunnymen and Oasis.

I love the engineering of this building built at a time when they were valued as theatres of industry which really makes for a creative space. Great atmosphere, helpful staff, good disable facilities.

Easy to find from the tube. It's nice a modern with clean facilities when I visited. The main hall has good sound and good visibility. The round hall is quite impressive. Box office collection was easy with friendly staff. No waiting in the rain.

About Roundhouse Studios

Roundhouse Studios is a creative hub that has been at the forefront of live performance spaces for over 50 years. The Roundhouse is located in Camden, London and has become one of the most iconic venues in the world. It was originally built as a railway engine shed in 1847 and was later converted into a performing arts venue in 1964.

The Roundhouse Studios is not just any ordinary venue; it's an institution that believes in the power of creativity to change lives. The company's mission is to provide a platform for artists, musicians, and performers to showcase their talents and inspire others through their work.

The Roundhouse Studios offers state-of-the-art facilities for rehearsals, recording sessions, performances, events, and workshops. The venue boasts several spaces including the Main Space which can accommodate up to 3,300 people standing or 1,700 seated; The Sackler Space which can hold up to 170 people standing or 100 seated; The Torquil Studio which can hold up to 80 people standing or 50 seated; and The Hub which is perfect for smaller events with capacity for up to 40 people.
