Downstairs at The Dome is the basement live room of The Dome in Tufnell Park, north London — the c. 300-capacity space formerly known as the Boston Music Room, renamed in 2023. Set inside a Grade II-listed Victorian building, it's an independent room that leans hard into metal and heavier guitar music, having hosted the likes of Obituary, Enter Shikari and Code Orange alongside indie and alternative bills. A proper sweaty basement venue at the heart of Tufnell Park's music scene.
