Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

O2 Academy Islington

Eight hundred capacity inside a shopping centre, which matters less once the lights go down.

Gigs

The room is in the N1 Centre off Upper Street, reached past the shops, and nothing about the approach prepares you for it. Inside it is a straightforward black box with a wide stage and a floor that sees properly, which is why it gets the bands a rung below the ones playing the Forum. A second room, Academy 2, holds two hundred and fifty and takes the smaller end of the same bill.
