Music fans must go to a least one gig in Union Chapel, A fantastic music venue with character in London. Some great local restaurants nearby
One of the best acoustic venues in London . Great architecture , atmosphere, and sound. The pews can be a bit hard on a bony behind though, so either bring a cushion or sit on some clothing .
The Union Chapel’s spellbinding surroundings and a cappella acoustics make it tough competition for more modern, purpose-built venues, putting it top of the list for bands and music fans alike. Read more
The Daylight Music gigs at midday on a Saturday are always great. And free (though leave a donation if you can, to help with the upkeep of the lovely building)
Surreal music venue . So atmospheric. Sit in the pews up the top for a birdseye view . Some Sundays they do midday shows with delightful home made cakes .
Great venue for live music , book a pew spot first with your coat then retire to bar as people are pretty honest and spot is usually there when you get back.
One of the best venues in London , if you have a fav artist playing there just book tickets. You won’t be disappointed!!!!
Gigs in the upstairs bar are relaxed and intimate . Heard Yourgardenday. First time at Union Chapel. Would definitely go again.
Daylight Music on Saturdays is great - music , tea , cakes and free with a suggested donation of £3.50
What an incredibly beautiful venue . Remember you can't take booze inside the main section but the bar is lovely too.
Great venue for a gig. If you're watching something where you have to sit down for a long time maybe bring a padded jacket to sit on ????
Sitting on the upper balconies at the back, stage centre, gives you an amazing view over this beautiful old chapel. Not many venues today that still use candles to set the mood. (via Scoville) Read more
The one time I visited was for a goosebump-inducing Mount Eerie concert . Stunning venue, especially for acoustic music .
Great acoustics , interesting events and fair prices . Plus, amazing environment
Amazing place. I've seen there some of the best concerts ever... Sheila Chandra, Mariza... Such a wonderful venue, such a good taste!
Stunning venue. Arrive early to get a good pew
Beware: you can't drink in the chapel, only in the designated bar upstairs. Great for more sedate gigs and comedy .
Live at the Chapel, a monthly Islington comedy club , undoubtedly provides the finest, most interesting line-ups in the capital. Read more
The devil might have all the best tunes , but the Union Chapel is proof that him downstairs knows bugger-all about architecture . Read more
Brilliant so check it out when you get a chance!
Great venue for live concerts in in intimate setting
Join the Union Chapel and get discounts at the bar . Support a great place and get a little reward. Cool!
Great music venue !
In actual fact the speakers are a hinderance. When the acts walk away from the microphone the acoustics are much better. Sitting in the upper circle is super echoey
One of the best venues in London . If you come to an evening performance make sure to eat at the food buffet in the bar .
If you take out a Membership, not only do you get advanced notice of events , you get a discount at the bar .
great acoustics , saw Jonathan Coulton there tonight. make sure you don't sit behind one of the pillars!
Amazingly beautiful venue , perfect for quiet gigs.
Stunning venue. Can't bring drinks into the chapel. But there is a bar :)
Recommend any gig here... One of the most beautiful venues on London.
Try the Meantime chocolate flavoured porter . It's tasty!
Much good music , a really quirky interesting venue
If you sit just in front of the sound technicians you're under a heater - good on cold nights
Have a cup of coffee while you wait for the gig
Are you the hippest kid in town ? Have you seen a gig in a church ? NO PROBABLY NOT. But you can solve this dilemma by heading to Union Chapel. We saw the Kooks do an acoustic show there once. Sorry Read more
Unique venue for live performances !
I love this venue!
Best music venue in London
Possibly the best music venue in London , defy you NOT to love it!
Great venue. Check out the bar upstairs.
When attending gigs, shows or—plausibly—religious service in the wintertime, be sure to sit inside the circle of the balconies , since that's where the heaters are directed.
Best venue in London for an intimate small mid size gig.
Fantastic venue for vocal music
Live at the Chapel comedy set is great fun. bar upstairs is sizeable too
An absolutely stunning venue to watch comedy
Concerts ; film screenings; drinks upstairs afterwards
Best gig venue in London by a mile.
Absolutely beautiful venue
Great venue for comedy

Great intimate venue. One of the best in London. If you get the opportunity to see live performances here do it! - MEL BROWN STUDIOS
The ground floor bar offers a nice selection of eclectic (normal for North London) beers in a nice modern environment. Fantastic music space! - Oleg Belov
Halloween all-nighter, better than expected! Only £6 ticket in advance, music venue turned club for the night so pretty big dance space. Loved the mix of indie, throwbacks but also more rnb/ mixes. - Rio Nichols
Good Thai food and amazing Guinness as well as tens of other drinks and cocktails. - Giovanni Lauria
Love the skinny chips. But their choice of music is really to die for. - Simone Laberinto
Really great pub for catching up with friends, food is pretty good too! - Minyahil Kifle-giorgis
