Very good location and the way they adapted the wrestling ri g was great. Such a shame that they didn't let people in on the time agreed and even worse they let people queue outside 15 minutes after the original time to open the doors.

Love this venue! Great atmosphere, you never seem too far away from the stage andthe acoustics are good. As with any music venue watch for pickpockets! Leave your rucksack at home unless you're carrying mousetraps in it!

Historic Music venue near Chalk Farm tube station. Great medium sized venue - if you get there early enough to be on or near the barrier, then it s a great venue - but the flat floor and relatively low stage can make it hard to see from further back

A fantastic, historic London venue brought back from the dead. The history of this place with it's roll call of amazing artists that have, over the decades, played here is second to none. it's an absolute damond.

Went to see Ladytron who were fantastic also excellent support Stealing Sheep. The Roundhouse looks and is a great venue. They support young upcoming artists. The venue itself is clean, very friendly and helpful young staff from box office, security, cloaks and ushers. If there were ten stars the Roundhouse would get them

Such a great venue! It has its own history, it is actually written on the walls, so take some time before the performance to get acquainted if you wish to.

There s place to have drinks before, during and after the show.

When choosing a sit, remember that there are columns, so upper stalls could be tricky. Also, the sounds and music most likely will be loud, so be prepared.

I visited Roundhouse for Club Swizzle show, it appears this venue is very suitable for this kind of events.

Great venue. Ruined by an antiquated ticket system that slowed the whole process of entry! An upgrade to e tickets would help eliminate all the queues! Inside was great with excellent views everywhere.

Great gig by Heilung, however being a round venue it meant the speakers were placed so that anyone in the sides couldn't see. Didn't have the same experience in the Motorpoint arena Cardiff, another similar venue.

Staff were ok, a bit rude but I suppose to be expected for corralling five thousand drunk metalheads.

If the stage had been perhaps a foot higher it would have meant vertically challenged people would have had a better experience.

If an artist you like is playing the roundhouse on a tour, just pay extra to travel somewhere else.
I've been waiting to post this, just in case they redeemed themselves, but I've been three times now and had a horrible experience every time.

I've only given two stars because the venue itself is pretty and you can use the cafe and toilets throughout the day if you're waiting early, but in terms of the experience you'll have when you actually get into the concert, it's just not worth it.

Went to see the Barbershop Chronicle there with some friends. Really cool venue, friendly staff, great play. Quick bar service, reasonable prices. Only downside was was the pop up pop up food stall. Expensive compared to the food stalls at Camden Market and not that nice. Filled a gap and thats about it

The Roundhouse is absolutely the best music venue in London. Small enough that you get an excellent view of the stage. There is a fantastic outdoor bar where you can smoke and drink before the show starts. Acoustically the venue is fantastic. I recently saw Rizzle Kicks and Eliza Doolittle as part of the itunes festival and had a fantastic evening. Previously I saw P!nk and the experience was so much better compared to a massive impersonal venue such as the O2. If you get the change GO !!!

I've been to a few gigs here now and they have all been fantastic. The staff including security have been consistently good. I would be carefully where you sit as you may get stuck behind a colum and getting out down the stairs can be a bit fought

great venue, great staff, pricey beer but there are sooo many bars inside during gig nights that the bars are never that busy you'll be served swiftly.

Great atmosphere in this old railway roundhouse.

What a great venue! The food options are limited and are packed prior to a music gig so probably wouldn't recommend coming here unless you have a table booked.
Had the best time and best seats here. Would love to go to another gig in the future here.

One of my favourite gig venues in London. They are always so inventive with the space. From Arca strutting down a catwalk through the crowd to an intimate 360 stage for Danial Kitson comedy. Sound is always great. One fault - box car larger

Loved the venue for a gig. The security was fast, thorough and quick. The cloakroom was professional and also quick. The bar staff were great and served drinks quickly. All round a great experience.

I remember this theatre now. It was linked with Sadlers Wells in the early 90s and received really good reviews for staging innovative plays with a twist.

Its just the name Roundhouse that made me think it was a new theatre company but yeah I remember BBC 4 and Timeout magazine reviewing upcoming playwrights' works here.



When I see a performance here I'll post the info in the caption part of the photos taken.

A really excellent playhouse to visit!!

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.
