Carling Academy
16 Parkfield Street, London, N1 0PS
The academy plays host to loads of great acts such as Franz Ferdinand and kings of Leon and the like. The sound in here just works perfectly and the acoustics are just superb.

I now know what it is it’s the setting it just seems wrong to have a concert hall in the middle of a shopping centre and that’s whats wrong with places like the millennium dome or the 02. I think London needs more...

I now know what it is it’s the setting it just seems wrong to have a concert hall in the middle of a shopping centre and that’s whats wrong with places like the millennium dome or the 02. I think London needs more purpose built venues for live music and quickly. Great gigs but no soul.
