Pop rock and variety concert halls United Kingdom

A must-see venue, as much for its architecture and history - the hall was opened in 1871 by Queen Victoria - as for the quality of its program of classical and less classical music, children's shows and even circus performances. In summer, the BBC Proms, one of the UK's major annual classical music events, have been held here since 1941. Plus: exhibitions in the hall and guided tours, as well as six places to eat and fourteen places to drink.

This room can accommodate up to 4,000 people, while maintaining a very pleasant atmosphere. The room was built in 1929. Originality of the place, the floor of the room has been designed with an inclination that allows everyone to enjoy the stage, even if you are at the very back of the room. Regularly, big names perform here, as well as quite innovative bands in very different genres: reggae, rock, indie, rap... Feel free to fall in love with a concert ticket, it will make you a great memory!

A varied musical programme awaits the curious ears in this beautiful building built in 1914. Classical and contemporary operas, pop, jazz, rock, family shows and contemporary music stars, the Usher Hall welcomes them all, with no less than 2,200 spectators. The program is rich and varied: remember to consult it and include a concert in your stay planning! On Sundays, classical music concerts are offered. The Usher Hall also hosts other annual events and exhibitions.

A former theater in blood-red and gold, with balcony and dressing rooms, it has been transformed into a concert hall. The narrowness of the space lends an intimate atmosphere to the shows that take place here. You feel close to the band performing, savoring every note and every expression of the stage act. The program is geared towards a wide variety of established artists from all over the world. We see artists from all horizons playing here.

The place reopened in 2006, it was previously an address that had mainly hosted punk concerts before turning into a salsa club, and the most significant event was the arrival of The Clash. A new turn after the work, it is now a trendy place in Brixton that welcomes indie, house, electro and drum & bass sounds. The place also offers an incredible diversity of events: from Egyptian belly dancing to Arts Council exhibitions and political gatherings.

The groups on display in this large concert hall, which has been open since 1934, are of excellent quality. At the time of its creation, it was an art deco cinema. This room is still one of the favourites of Londoners who consider it one of the best in North London. It is vast and the consumption is also at reasonable prices. The acoustics are good and there are also some tables on the balcony. It was at the Forum that the School Disco evenings were inaugurated.

The Dingwalls is an absolutely mythical address in the heart of the Camden Lock market. The hall, with a capacity of 500 people, hosts concerts and a weekly comedy club. It has been a place for music since 1973! And one of the most famous live music venues in the capital. Bands like Les Clash, Les Sex Pistols or Les Pink Floyd have performed there. Blondie even made her debut there. More recently, it was Angel Olsen or Foals who honoured his scene... He is the musical and punk soul of Camden.

In addition to the contemporary music programme, three rooms are dedicated to classical music concerts: the Royal Festival Hall hosts orchestral music, the Queen Elizabeth Hall for orchestral chamber music, the Purcell Room for chamber music and recitals. In all, more than 1,000 concerts each year. Also an exhibition gallery, the Hayward Gallery and a specialized library. There is always something going on, don't hesitate to consult the program. The location is ideal along the Thames.
