Making a Night of It

Hammersmith has plenty of pubs and restaurants for a pre-show meal or a post-show drink, and the Apollo's West London location makes it easy to reach from across the city and beyond. Many showgoers combine the gig with dinner nearby, and a taxi makes moving between the restaurant, the venue and home easy — and handles the journey back after a late finish without the Tube crush.

A London Music Institution

The Eventim Apollo, known to generations of Londoners by its former name the Hammersmith Odeon, is one of the capital's most storied live venues, having hosted legendary performances across every genre since the 1930s. Its beautiful art deco interior, excellent sightlines and famous acoustics have made it a favourite of artists and audiences for decades, and playing the Apollo remains a milestone for touring musicians. The venue's mid-size capacity strikes a sweet spot — large enough to attract major names, yet intimate enough that every seat feels connected to the stage, which is why it consistently draws a packed and busy calendar of music, comedy and performance. Its West London setting by the A4 makes it reachable from across the city and convenient for those travelling in from the west or heading towards Heathrow afterwards. For any show at this iconic venue, planning the journey home in advance means the evening ends as smoothly as it began, without the scramble for the packed Hammersmith Tube once the final encore fades.
