About Islington Assembly Hall

Islington Assembly Hall is a Grade II-listed Art Deco live music venue and events space within the Islington Town Hall complex on Upper Street in London. Opened in 1930, refurbished and reopened in 2010, it remains a cornerstone for gigs and club nights, hosting a wide range of artists from rock to indie and beyond. With a total capacity of 950 (732 downstairs standing and 218 in the balcony), the hall offers an intimate yet expansive atmosphere for live performances.

Whether you’re catching a headline show or an intimate set, we’ve got you covered with clear seating information, transport options, and nearby stay-and-dine recommendations to help you plan a smooth night out in Islington.

Accessibility notes: The balcony is accessed by stairs (no lift), while some ground-floor facilities are step-free. There is no on-site customer parking, but drop-off is available on the Islington Town Hall forecourt. Street parking is limited. The venue is a short walk from Highbury & Islington station (about 5 minutes) and ~15 minutes on foot from Angel station. Buses stop directly outside the Town Hall. After the show, consider nearby hotels such as the Hilton London Angel Islington (53 Upper Street) and Premier Inn London Angel Islington for convenient stays. For dining, explore local spots along Upper Street and in nearby Angel with our partner recommendations. Secure your seats and plan your visit with confidence—Islington Assembly Hall continues to host iconic performances like Foo Fighters’ post-reopening shows and the historic Kerrang! Awards in 2019.
