O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire

No meter where you seat you will be very close to performer and connected to the vibes you came for, amazing atmosphere and nice sound quality

Great intimate venue . One of the best in London. If you get the opportunity to see live performances here do it!

Nice theatre converted in music hall . Important: you have to be really close to the stage . If you happen to be far, the floor is also lower, so you will not be able to see the people on stage !

Great little theatre venue hosting some great bands! Build in travel time if your aren’t familiar with the location & check that the nearest tube station is open!

As a venue in general, O2 Empire is great place.Other than the outdated sound system , I have absolutely nothing to complain.One of my favorite venues in London .

Secure yourself a spot on one of the small viewing platforms either side of the main bar/stairs on the ground floor. Excellent view of the stage & you still get to keep your personal space ;)

A fantastic arena with three bars . You also get Very close to the performers .

Reminds me of the Forum in Oz, get tickets for lower level which is standing but you have access to bars so you can watch gig and drink at the same time

Often long queues around the corner, so either get their early or show up once the queue has subsided. Decent size with close views of the stage . Multiple bars . Toilets small - expect to queue.

One of the most beautiful and intimate theatre venues in London but it's best to sit upstairs if you want to see the band properly. Not right on the top though, or you'll probably get vertigo! Read more

Great venue to see live music . More intimate then the Hammersmith Apollo. There are also a shed load of bars nearby to try post and pre the gig! For more reviews check out Empire's MyVillage page! Read more

You need skill to carry full pints thru a packed gig. Hint: drink some from each at the bar before you head out & tell your mates you spilled it down people on the way, they won't know. Double win.

Cards at the bar now! Great team who help people who need access / mobility support :)

Seating rows on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd levels very close together... Not good for those with long legs or bad knees. Get there early to get on one of the sides of those levels or end if row seat.

During a show, head to the bar on the left of the stage as you look at it - no one goes to it!

Once a BBC Television Theatre , it’s not surprising there’s something telegenically grand about the Empire. The building’s baroque interior exudes a grown-up glamour few venues can match... Read more

Great theatre . Even a little bar to sauce those in the nosebleeds!

As Zooey Deschanel said, it looks a bit like a wedding cake on the inside. A fairly pleasant and intimate venue with decent sound. If you're standing, try arriving early so you can see the stage .

Beautiful music venue . Excellent sound as well , even in level 3.

One of the more intimate medium sized venues London has to offer, but often hard to get a good view unless you're over 6ft! The seating options give you a much better perspective.

Don't expect to get your seat back if you leave without telling someone you are coming back or leaving a jacket or other marker behind.

Nice venue! Although the floor is not sloping like in Brixton, and the beer ... oh well .

Great venue, really intimate space .

Be there first to check-in & find Karnig (guitarist) for a very special prize at tonight's show!

The side stalls on the first floor offer a great view

Intimate venue close to transit.

Pints £4.75 - marvelous venue - sides valconies on first level really recommendable

You can park at Westfield London for £3 6pm - midnight. Just ask security at the venue for an additional parking ticket.

The acoustic is perfect and the number of places as well

Sit on the first level in the front tie. Great view for the vertically challenged- me!!!

Free cloakroom if you have o2's Priority app- the voucher will be in the Entertainment section

Level 3 is the best place to watch bands. Make sure you get right at the back in the corner so you have to look round the pillar

Great venue! In a cool area

If you can, sit upstairs. If it's crowded downstairs you'll hardly be able to see the stage for the crowd. Read more

Great medium sized venue

Togs beware - you'll have to store your camera in the backstage area before going back in to watch a gig.

If you're planning on dancing stay downstairs & keep to the back. Drinks are horrendously ecpensive, so get tanked up before you get here.

If you arrive late stand and watch directly at the bar . Great view !

Nice venue, facilitates are pretty good.

Opening as a music hall in 1903, between 1953 and 1992 it was run by the BBC who broadcast Crackerjack, That’s Life and Wogan from here.

Great music venue

Al Forno down the road a tasty and cheap bite to eat before/after gig

have seen some of my favourite gigs there - is small and cozy Read more

The view downstairs isn't great, unless you can get on the rail up the stairs from the dance floor

Great concert venue .

Saw teenage fanclub here the other week. Great, small to middlin' venue... really enjoyed it!

Great place for intimate gigs

Stand on either side of level 1 for the best view in the house

Bring drinks before, very little to buy and they remove all the caps.

Beatiful venue, my favourite but £4.55 for cider in a plastic cup is ridiculous.
