Great for live gigs and club nights. The live gigs I've been to are typically rock music . But later on in the night typically turns to dance music and old pop favorites. Beautiful venue!

Melanie Mullins

So much fun, great dance music and not that expensive . Also do not forget student card as it is £5 instead of £7 on Friday nights. This was my first time here and I will defiantly be back.

Will Beardmore

One of my least favourite venues in London. £5.10 for a can of lager . Try and get a spot at the front of a balcony for any hope of seeing.

MEL BROWN STUDIOS

Awesome! awesome! awesome! Love this place. They do a fruit cider too :) yay. Must visit the sky bar and people with before the show.

The best venue in London, hands down. An ex theatre now hosting the most forward thinking bands. Came here to see the Young Fathers and the air was sizzling

Evening Standard

Marrying the grandeur of Camden’s seminal concert venue , live performances from some of the newest bands and guest DJs , Saturdays at KOKO are one of the best alternative club nights in town . Read more

David Sulitzer

Old theatre turned into a night club . The venue really works well . It's cool walking up and down the stalls. When you dance downstairs you get the impression your the show! Live bands were too loud .

Morgane Devillez

Really nice life music , tasty cocktails and good looking bar . I enjoyed and had fun all night

Chris

Good venue, great views due to multiple levels. Gets a little warm however overall really positive.

Paul Hadfield

Lovely venue in beautiful historic theatre . Nice big bar area at the back for when you need to chill out . Beer not very exciting though!

Tiago Teixeira Correia

If you ever feel like you want to have s theatre experience but don't actually like the theatre just go to KOKO. Best acts in the loudest sound system in Europe, attracts a lot of weird people.

Caitlin Smith

Solid venue for sound. Door staff can be over cautious and you'll need a loan to buy a drink but worth it for the great views and fun atmosphere .

Neil Evans

Awesome venue with good bar staff and cheap drinks . Good sound system too.

Chris C

Great multi level venue. Amazing view from the top level and an almost private bar .

Claire

Great venue for concerts . Best to grab a spot on one of the balconies for a good view .

Ian Rickner

Great venue and fantastic gig tonight with The Temperance Movement. Watch out for the price of drinks though. £4:80 for a can of Red Stripe felt a bit steep!

Time Out London

Camden features heavily in London’s pop history, but Koko must surely be its Forrest Gump, having had a hand in the gestation of numerous sounds and styles over the decades. Read more

Paul

Fantastic venue for live music . Recently saw Royal Blood and they nearly blew the roof off! As always though the drinks are crap and over priced

Andrew Smallwood

Best music venue in London . Get there early and reserve a spot on the balcony for the best view

Adil V

interesting architecture , 3 floors, perfect place to listen SG LEWIS

Lydia Berkennou

One of the best venue in London. Great for gigs and perfect as a nightclub .

Kathryn Cheetham

Great staff , drinks are reasonable and the roof terrace is a lovely escape at a gig to cool down

Alexia K

One of the best music venues in London , perfect to catch good bands who are in the rise.

Liam Branaghan

Best live venue in London. Get early to get a place on the balcony .

Mily Moreno

Great venue, with fantastic gigs , and I love the terrace

P-Edward Lieb

Club in an old theatre - probably one of the best place to go out in London

Ross Groom

If you don't want to be down in the mosh pit then definitely secure a spot on the balcony .

No4emi GV

Very nice venue for concerts . Really clean and organised.

Fiona Woodford

The staff , the building, the atmosphere!

The Guestlist Network

Koko is a great venue for watching a band, showing your moves on the dancefloor or simply getting a drink. Koko offers it all!

Kevin McCulley

Amazing music venue with great views of the stage from everywhere

Daniël van der Winden

Awesome venue with several floors and good views . Also: roof terrace .

Taryn O

The second floor boxes are great - it even has its own bar . Get there through the corridor to stage right of the second floor bar .

Em Collins

Nice venue and plenty of places for short people to stand and still see the band. However, I resent playing £3.50 for a can of Red Stripe when the off-license opposite sells them 6 for a fiver!

Ethel Valid

Music , the atmosphere, everything is great

Thrash Hits

It used to host the very short-lived Klub Kerrang but loads of metal passes through here regardless. Due to most of the venue being a balcony , there are loads of decent places to get a good view . Read more

Chris Imlach

7-8pm Sunday to Thursday is happy hour - get a £2.50 beer/wine while watching/waiting for a support act.

Hannah GM

Kickass venue for live music near the heart of Camden.

Stefania Mani

Great Venue in Camden, just outside Mornington Crescent Station (Northen Line )

Anna Pantelia

Beautiful place with a nice terrace

Alteralec

Great club, fun atmosphere

Lucas Amador

bring cash and pennies if you want to buy a beer (10+ pounds for credit card payment)

Kopernikus

The best club in london by far!!

Wian Hattingh

AWESOME place when "Guilty Pleasures" events are on. Loads of fun! Loved it!!

Puppala Dupi

One of the best remaining venues in london

Jenny Stewart

Leave it as late as possible before heading in for a gig - drinks prices are super-inflated.

Tom Hoare

The rooftop bar is great and it's a good gig venue.

Neil Higton

Go to the top balcony and watch the show from up there!!! You get such an awesome view of the stage and the biggest mirror ball in Europe.

Michelle R.

Great venue for checking out gigs and dj's - love it! The Bestival dress up party each year is great
