Islington Assembly Hall is a Grade II listed, Art Deco live music venue and events space on Upper Street in Islington, north London (N1 2UD). The flexible room holds up to around 950 (typically 732 standing downstairs plus 218 in the balcony, scaled to c. 800 for full shows). Recent upgrades to its sound and lighting, the striking deco interior and strong sightlines have drawn a wide span of artists — from Ed Sheeran, Skepta, Snow Patrol and Sam Smith to heavier bills like Hawkwind and Queensryche — making it a well-regarded mid-size stage in the capital.
