Wigmore Hall Reviews

Nice venue. Went there for open house but haven t watched any concert

Excellent concert. Seating is not raked so tall people on front of you can block the view. There is a nice cafe downstairs with helpful staff.

One of the best halls in the UK. I love coming here.Amazing concert series, and brilliant ticket prices.Relaxed atmosphere.

A really beautiful and intimate concert hall with just enough room on the stage to fit a string quartet and a Singer. Downstairs you will find toilets, cloakroom and even a restaurant and a bar. The hall looks like 1920's in style. The spacing between seats is a bit cramped so it may be a bit challenging for the taller members of the public but the quality of the performance here more than makes up for that.

Old cozy room, but with the last rows, little is visible.

A bit old and small but the sound system is quite O.K. compare to the ages of it

100 years of musical history resonates from the walls. Delightful line-up of musicians to suit all musical tastes.

One of the best concert halls in Europe due to sound quality.

Wigmore Hall is based on Wigmore Street Marylebone London. It is a beautiful Victorian concert hall with plush red velvet seating and a small stage prefect for intimate concerts and events.

The acoustics are gentle and all seats will have a fairly decent view of the stage due to the size of the hall.

There is a lift down to the toilets, a bar and restaurant. Glasses are not allowed in the hall.

Wonderful and frequent performances including lunchtime sessions.

London's perfect concert hall and best behaved audience.

This is primarily a chamber music venue and the stage is tiny so when larger ensembles perform here, such as the Dunedin Consort (superb, un-missable, catch them if you can), they are crammed together to an almost comical effect.
The audience seats are not raked upwards so the view from the back is not great.
It is difficult to get good tickets because of the patronage system where tickets are often released in a number of tranches before the general public get a look-in. The audience demographic is therefore heavily skewed towards the elderly wealthy elite giving it a very different feel than say Southbank or Barbican.
This is a pity because there are some superb concerts here by world class performers.

Brilliant venue for chamber and solo performances. Friendly but high brow ambience. Very good restaurant too, where you might run shoulders with famous musicians without knowing...

Lovely small concert hall. I didn't get to hear a performance, hence only four stars. I will happily upgrade my rating once I have heard the acoustics, as I suspect they are very good.

The best music concert in London you will find it there , really i enjoy every single minute there

The finest venue in London for world-class chamber music.

Venue was amazing, concert was amazing, most of the staff were amazing however one of the staff members tried to refuse me re-entry after the interval! almost a perfect event!

Wigmore hall is a beautiful old music hall it is small and intimate wherever you sit you really feel part of the performance and the seats are reasonably priced, they also have a restaurant and a bar, I will definitely be making another visit or two.

As good a venue for recitals and chamber concerts as any hall in the world.

The pre-Raphaelite friezes are worth a visit in themselves. The acoustics are excellent in a well-kept collection room. Here too, if you are in London for a two business day, for a relaxing weekend and you like quality music, I do not recommend you miss it. Online booking has only one flaw: mandatory registration ..

Beautiful music venue, any music enthusiast should definitely visit

My first time. Lovely building, great acoustics. Hope to go back again at some point

One of the most famous, most beautiful concert halls in the world. Very british, the acustics are extraordinary for chamber music. Nice atmosphere, lovely!

Staff absolutely amazing!! Worked with our dietary requirements very professionally as I wish everywhere else did! Food was delicious too!!

A lovely intimate concert space, comfy red velvet seats, and great food in the restaurant downstairs. Highly recommended.

It's quite a nice ambience. I liked the idea that they maintain the strictness to not let people in after the concert starts.

Perfect concert hall for recitals and chamber music.

Amazing concerts down here if you like classical music.

This is a nice intimate hall. Personally, I prefer to sit upstairs where I think the view and acoustic are better and there's a little more leg room.

Magical place with fantastic performances. It's a literal paradise for the ones with passion for the classical music

Perfect chamber music venue. Beautiful acoustic, and very atmospheric. In a lovely quirk, some of the lighting still runs on gas

Refurb of gents is great. Removal of cough notice less so. Nevertheless still my favourite London venue

A more intimate concert hall but still with a good acoustic. One of my favourites!

Super place to visit for a concert and for a special occasion.

Stunning concert hall with good acoustics and comfortable seats.
Very well organised performances. Staff were helpful, knowledgeable and efficient.
Lovely bar and restaurant downstairs for pre-concert and interval drinks and nibbles.
Spotless toilets downstairs with plenty of cubicles. They also have a cloakroom downstairs.

Wigmore Hall is a really good classical concert hall. It is relatively small in size but has good acoustics and is used for small scale music such as chamber music and as a showcase for young musicians. The facilities include a downstairs basement bar / cafe / restaurant which is a enjoyable way to spend time before the performance. Beware the seats are not comfortable for taller people so if you need legroom get an aisle seat.

Ok if you like this let of thing, not my scene but you have to find out for yourself right?

Great Hall, especially for classical music concerts. The hall is well kept and the sound is excellent. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

A lovely concert hall. Excellent acoustics and comfortable seats. Have returned many times.

Great sound quality. The traditional decorations make you feel luxury.

A beautiful venue, with comfortable seats and good acoustics. A relaxed an intimate atmosphere. World class musicians. Tickets are reasonably priced for the quality of performance. Generally very well organised. A nice bar and restaurant. Highly recommended.

A great environment. Acoustics were amazing. I went a very long time ago.
I intend to go again once this COVID situation settles...

Beautiful food in a classy setting. The wine was expensive.

One of my favorite experiences in London is a Monday Midday Concert at Wigmore Hall. Classical music livers gather for one hour of great music in the acoustically outstanding venue. Sunday "Breakfast Concerts" are also a treat. Wigmore Hall has a very pleasant restaurant. Patrons are very pleasant and the staff is very kind and helpful. Do not overlook this venue

Excellent hall, excellent music. I try to go every time that I m in London.

Fantastic acoustic and intimate venue. Lovely marble decor. The ceiling is a little plain and looks like plaster board formed into an arched but it can only aid the acoustic. The building is near Oxford street and is a short walk from Oxford Circus. The venue is suitable for small chamber works and is regularly a place for broadcast concerts featuring on BBC.

A delightful, intimate concert hall, beautiful chamber music being played to a discerning audience. Recommended

Small venue but not too small offering maily classical music but I suppose anything could be played there. Bond street is closest on the tube map. Toilets located downstairs. The stage has a rather odd painting of some angelic being and scribe writing things on a huge scroll.

Love this place and the concerts they give there.
Wonderful afmosphere

Only been the once, for a classical concert. It's a very nice art nouveau building with great acoustics. There's a bar but we didn't visit it this time.

A comfortable, relaxing and very enjoyable evening with a good bar and restaurant.

Hardcore classical music fan's venue, and not too large for solo musicians. Audience clearly full of music nerds too, resulting in a respectful listen and resounding applause for the excellent musicians. Pretty much the only way in More

Gorgeous art deco concert hall with world class music. Don't miss it. It's a gem.

Minded to write to appreciate what a wonderful concert venue this is for Londoners - indeed, international music lovers. Wigmore Hall hosts world-class talent and I always visit when I'm in London. Very worried for the arts in this middle of this crisis. To lose a place such as this would be nothing short of a tragedy. I imagine it will be supported enough to survive - but it has flourished for so long now and is a vital centre of the musical life in this city. I hope it is supported properly by government so that it can flourish again. Classical audiences are on average older, therefore there may be more resistance to audiences returning at full throttle. I devoutly hope not. Good luck to Wigmore Hall from one appreciative visitor over the years.

Surely one of the best rooms ever gig. Perfect acoustics. Beautiful, not very comfortable seats but for a planning always of considerable level. Extremely kind and helpful staff to meet you. The public is an elite of connoisseurs.

The Wigmore Hall - so English, such a good acoustic.
