By train

The nearest Overground train station is Brixton railway station on Atlantic Road (via staircases). It’s on the Chatham main line (London Victoria to Orpington), operated by Southeastern trains and typically has trains running every 15 minutes in both directions during operational hours – but it’s always best to check running times before you travel.

Accessible facilities at Brixton railway station are limited, so please head to Southeastern for more details before you travel. 

Parking and by car

Public transport is by far the easiest way to get to us as we do not have any parking facilities. 

Accessible parking

There are two accessible bays just outside the front of the venue on Stockwell Road.

By bike

We’ve got plenty of bike racks nearby, including Bellefields Road, Stockwell Road and on the local high street.

Find more information on self-service bike hire stations at Transport for London.

Venue opening times

We’ll have opening times and curfew times if they’re out of the ordinary for seasoned gig-goers (7pm-11pm) on the event page of this website and on our social channels, too. All timings are subject to change, so check before you travel. 

Age restrictions

It’s always best to check the age restrictions for each event in advance as they vary from show to show.

A few obvious ones:

No under 8s please (think about it), but feel free to contact us if you’re unsure and avoid disappointment.

8-13 years, you’ll need to attend with an adult (18+) and only book balcony tickets please. 

Most shows are 14+ (and that means you can come without an adult over 18 and be in the stalls area) but please remember to check when you book as it can vary from show to show.

Always look for admission age policies and signs such as 14+, 16+, 18+, 21+  before you book and remember to carry proof of age if you need it.

Find out more about age restrictions and what we accept as ID in our FAQs.

Have we got it all covered?

Hopefully, but if we’ve missed anything, it will be in our FAQs.
