About
A Legendary Entertainment Venue in West London
The Eventim Apollo — formerly the Hammersmith Apollo — is one of London’s most iconic performance spaces, renowned for hosting world-famous musicians, comedians, and theatrical shows since 1932. With its grand Art Deco design and seating for over 3,000, the venue blends historical significance with a constantly evolving, high-profile programme of live events.
Historic Architecture, Modern Experience
Designed by Robert Cromie, the Apollo originally opened as the Gaumont Palace cinema before transitioning into a live events venue. It retains many of its stunning original features including decorative ceilings, curved walls, and the famous illuminated canopy. In 2013, the venue underwent a £5 million renovation, modernising its facilities while preserving its Art Deco charm.
Global Stars and Unforgettable Nights
The Apollo has played host to a who’s who of live entertainment: from The Beatles, Queen, and David Bowie to Adele, Elton John, and Kendrick Lamar. It is also a premier venue for top comedy acts including Michael McIntyre, Kevin Hart, and Ricky Gervais, as well as live TV recordings like Live at the Apollo. Occasionally, it hosts theatrical events and live podcasts in a more intimate seated configuration.
Audience Comfort and Facilities
The venue features multiple bars, cloakroom services, digital ticketing, and newly installed seating for increased legroom and comfort. It offers both standing and seated configurations, depending on the event. The combination of excellent acoustics and great sightlines makes for an electric audience experience.
Location and Accessibility
Located just a few minutes from Hammersmith Station (District, Piccadilly, and Hammersmith & City lines), the Apollo is ideally situated for West London locals and visitors. A wide range of pre-show dining and pub options are available nearby.
Why Visit?
Whether you're seeing a rock legend, laughing with a top comedian, or enjoying a live show with friends, the Eventim Apollo guarantees a night to remember — all in one of the city’s most beloved and historic venues.
