A beautiful venue for beautiful music.. Highly recommend if you are in London and wish to attend a classical performance. It usually has several performances a day

A beautiful Victorian hall where you can sit, listen and relax.
Found out about its existence through a colleague and decided to experiment one cold night. It’s such a lovely place, a bit like a time capsule just off Bond Street.
Went to listen to a string quartet - felt my emotions quite attuned to the rhythm of the compositions and the excellent musicians. I’ll definitely come back.
The hall is easily accessible by public transport. There is a bar/restaurant but didn’t have the chance to try it. The music room is good size, not too big and comfortable.

For context, this review is for the concert hall, which is a beautiful and intimate venue. The artist I saw there was amazing. Great to see and lovely to hear. As expected, acoustics are mesmerising and upon leaving, I felt so relaxed and 'zen'. Will definitely return without a doubt. Glad I discovered this place, I've been missing out.

Lovely as always such superb acoustics. Audience so engaged and appreciative of Tunde Jegede and the NOK orchestra playing exquisitely. An interesting programme showcasing African classical music - lookforward to the next concert
