Chris Evans

Great venue, floor is slanted which makes the view much better, although after standing for 3 hours it can hurt your back standing on a slope!

Ali B

Weird indoor castle thing going on - love it. Fantastic historical venue and pleasant staff .

Louise Mahon

Amazing helpful staff . Went out of their way to identify my needs and make my visit there enjoyable - without even been asked. Thank you so much

Sofia Pie

Best music venue in London . Intimate but spectacular. You can find out more about it by reading simon parkes' 'live at the Brixton academy' - great book !

Alexia K

The best venue for rock / alternative concerts in London. Great atmosphere and sound.

Stephen Silverlock

Don't worry too much if there's a long queue outside, it's quite easy to get near the front once inside (without pushing). Toilets and bar easily accessible too.

Punktastic

A huge theatre venue, Brixton's sloping floor gives you a fine view of any of the bands playing there, and there's usually 2/3 great shows per month for Rock lovers.

Dalton Boatman

Fantastic venue. Great acoustics . If you can get standing tickets, go for them.

Patrick Salvi

Great venue with visibility from everywhere thanks to the slopping floor. They take credit cards at the bar.Good acoustic .

Martin Marmorstein

The best music venue in London , hands down. Amazing gigs, always.

Giacomo Mason

Possibly my fave venue in London. Just the right size, and the sloping floor means you can ser even from the back!

PJ Wascher

Saw The War On Drugs here. Cool venue. If you want to sit, buy a balcony ticket. Standing only on the main floor.

Rachel O'Reilly

Fantastic venue. Once you're in you can't go out and back in again though so make sure you have everything you need before you go in!

Jia Li

Amazing amazing venue to see live music . Saw caribou here..psychedelic.

No4emi GV

I couldn’t get a ticket for the ground floor but still got a good view from the balcony . Great place ????????

Margherita B.

Awesome concert venue in Brixton. The XX opened up by Robyn ????

Thrash Hits

One of the biggest theatre venues in London and they sell beer . This is important when you're watching heavy metal. The sloping floor means there’s a good view from anywhere downstairs. Read more

Colm Linehan

The front few rows of the balcony don't have a great view . Better to be further back to see the whole stage.

Time Out London

The Academy’s famous raked dancefloor splits opinion – it allows the petit(e) attendee to see something of wht’s happening on stage, which is good, but isn’t exactly ideal if you fancy a boogie. Read more

Belén Martínez

Don't go to the Circle area, they won´t let you stand up even for a second to dance and enjoy the gig. Always go for the stalls tickets if u wanna have real fun.

Jonny Wright

Best venue in London! The only problem is the expensive drinks

Ugnius

Through all my life as a dj and music fan, o2 gets the award of the worst sound quality I've ever heard and I've had my fair share of shows all around the globe.

Christine Luton

Great for music events . Went to the 2016 Top100DJs party here and really enjoyed the venue.

Jack Hoppus

The stage is great; and a great experience. The black roof gives the impression that you are outside.

Mat Collis

First time mixing here for the NME awards. So much history here. Such a cool venue

Nash Nani

Best old school music venue in London ! Go to the balcony for great views

Breakin' Convention

Catch the UK B-Boy Championships World Finals here in October and find out which crew, soloist, popper and lockers will reign supreme as World Champion!

Hummy Rashid

Good views are to be had everywhere because of the incline of the floor.

Ross Groom

Bug venue, good for gigs and nights out alike. Sloped floor towards the stage helps.

Blondie

Authentic venue that make every concert magiacal.

Andrew Smallwood

Best venue in London for short people due to a natural incline. Serves beer in 2 pint glasses

Matt Taylor

Upstairs has seating which can be used for those wanting a more relaxed concert !

Marius Cucuruz

great venue! it's got a really good vibe to it

Phoebe Johnson

Great venue can be a bit annoying to get to woman’s toilet at next to front of stage.

Andrew wood

Decent venue. Bars are quick, and the floor slopes for a good view from wherever. Acoustics aren't as good as Shepherd's Bush.

Lydia Berkennou

Love this place, feel like a second home. The venue is beautiful!

Swarmstrong

Beautiful interior , truly great venue. Sloped floor is genius!

Seb J

Arrive with plenty of time to spare if you want to get a good spot

Mark Makin

Had a great time watching massive attack - just wish they'd sort he queues out for drinks and stock some decent drinks. Terrible range of spirits and awful beer .

Dayna McAlpine

The floor going down at a huge slant means no getting angry at the tall person in front of you!

Asa Baum

Saw James Bay here, was absobloodylutely great!

B

Good venue for concerts

Gari Wellingham

Awesome venue once inside, completely not what I was expecting. Definitely avoid buying tickets from touts - get there early if you're in the G/A Circle too.

Nico Macdonald

Big venue with raked floor for good views when standing.

Ceara Pixie

Great venue but was over-crowded and was very difficult to buy a drink.

Liv Adshead

Great gig venue- good acoustics .

Cami Heitz

Nice concert venue , small and cozy

Megan Allison

Absolutely brilliant. A temple for live shows.

Little Scrapes

Nowhere near enough bar staff to serve the thirsty hoards. Bar service so slow the venue may as well be dry. Preload, or being a hip flask.

Haylie Seymour

Great venue but don't bother queuing for drinks absolute nightmare and overpriced but still a lovely venue.
