About this venue
Eventim Apollo is one of London’s most distinctive indoor venues, instantly recognisable for its refined Art Deco façade and protected landmark status—classic on the outside, built for modern live production on the inside. It hosts everything from major concerts to stand-up and special shows, with a layout that flexes by event: around 3,655 seats fully seated, or up to roughly 5,300 when the stalls are configured for partial standing.
Inside, the experience is defined by an auditorium that feels both grand and close to the stage, with strong sightlines across levels and an atmosphere that works equally well for intimate sets and high-energy tours. Visitors often appreciate the clear sound, straightforward zoning, and the food-and-drink options that make breaks quick and hassle-free.
For arrival, head to Hammersmith and follow venue signage to the main doors at 45 Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, London W6 9QH, United Kingdom. The closest stop is Hammersmith station (a short walk), and it’s typically easy to pick up a taxi right outside after the show; note that the venue has no on-site parking.

About the city
London is a global metropolis where sport, concerts and major events blend naturally into the city’s everyday rhythm. As one of Europe’s leading entertainment hubs, it draws visitors looking for top-tier production, huge variety and an energy that runs from early morning to late at night. Whether you’re coming for a headline match or a live music spectacle, London delivers the feeling that something is always happening—and that everything is within easy reach.
Getting in and moving around is powered by one of Europe’s most practical networks: London Underground (Tube), London Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line and National Rail connect key districts, with transfers that are straightforward and well signposted. If you arrive by train, London King’s Cross, St Pancras International, London Victoria and Liverpool Street are among the city’s main gateways. Air connections are just as strong—Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City cover a wide range of routes, making it easy to align your trip with an arena or stadium plan.
When it comes to event locations, London offers a dense spread of arenas and stadiums across the city, supported by frequent transport links and clear wayfinding. In practice, that means you can stay central or choose quieter neighborhoods and still reach the entrance quickly—without complicated routes or endless changes. It’s especially convenient that many venues sit close to public-transport interchanges, so getting back after the event feels simple and safe.
Turn your visit into a sightseeing bonus too: walk along the Thames and the South Bank, soak up the classic atmosphere around Westminster, or head for the lively streets of Covent Garden and Soho. For iconic views and a great vibe, there’s Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge, and for a calmer break from the crowds, Hyde Park. London’s advantage is that, before or after the show, there’s always time for a stroll, a good meal and a quick city adventure—without the sense you’re racing from one end to the other.
