Islington Assembly Hall is a Grade II listed[1] live music venue and events space on Upper Street, Islington, London. It has a capacity of up to 800 for live events, including seating for 200 in its balcony[2][3] Events other than music shows, such as public meetings, also take place there.[4]
It has many art deco features, including clocks, paintings and decorative panels.[5][6]
Owned and managed by the local authority, the building hosted events such as variety shows, tea dances and weddings from March 1930 until its closure in the mid-1980s.[7][8] It lay dormant for around 30 years until Islington Council funded its refurbishment, and it reopened in 2010,[9] almost 80 years to the day since it first opened.[8][10]
