Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox venue Шаблон:Use dmy dates Islington Assembly Hall is a live music venue and events space on Upper Street, Islington, London. It forms part of the Islington Town Hall complex. It has a capacity of 890 for live events, including seating for 200 in its balcony.[1] Events other than music shows, such as public meetings, also take place there.[2]
History
The assembly hall, which was designed with many art deco features, including clocks, paintings and decorative panels,[3] opened in March 1930.[4]
Owned and managed by the local authority, the building hosted events such as variety shows, tea dances and weddings.[5][6] Performers in the post-war era included the singers Diana Dors, George Formby and Chris Farlowe.[7]
It closed in the mid-1980s and was then used as storage space for around 30 years until Islington Council funded its refurbishment, and it reopened in 2010,[8] almost 80 years to the day since it first opened.[6][9]
The venue hosted the 2019 Kerrang! Awards, a ceremony celebrating achievements in rock music.[10]
