What's On at Union Chapel, London – May 2027

Set inside a Grade I-listed Victorian Gothic church at the top of Upper Street in Islington, Union Chapel is one of London's most distinctive live music spaces, seating around 900 beneath a soaring top-lit ceiling. Completed in 1877 and still a working church, it established itself as a celebrated music venue from the 1990s onwards.

Audiences sit in the original wooden pews across the ground floor and gallery, with a licensed bar and kiosk serving drinks and snacks at most events. Its stage has been graced by Elton John, Björk, Amy Winehouse, Nick Cave, Mitski and Sigur Rós, among many others.

Alongside gigs spanning folk, indie, jazz, soul and classical, it programmes the acclaimed Live at the Chapel comedy night, spoken-word events such as The Moth and Letters Live, film screenings and debates. Hosting around 250 events a year, it has been voted London's favourite venue by Time Out readers three times.
