Hui-ern NgJune 19, 2015This place is an amazing venue for a rave. Should arrive earlier to take in the view and majestic space!

George XSeptember 10, 2016One of the best places to visit in North. Enjoy amazing views of London from here. Grab a beer and sit in the grass outside.A beautiful building that hosts exhibitions/concerts and a small ice rink.
Upvoted Oct 6- Jack SmithJune 28, 2015During events, free parking is on a first come, first served basis. Street food venders have no extraction fan outlet, so the stench builds up in the hall and wafts into the main arena.Upvoted 5 days ago
Nick WagstaffDecember 30, 2015Huge venue, great sound; if grabbing a bite beforehand, just remember that the food stands are only available *after* ticket checks.
Alexander PalmerOctober 19, 2014Awesome venue for a gig. With the street food hall and the size of the great hall it feels like your at a festival.
Michael FitzgeraldFebruary 12, 2015Beautiful building and amazing views from the top! Check out the transmitter at the back, it was in a Doctor Who episode! Also, was great when SitC used to be here!
Ben TaylorJune 26, 2019One of the best live music venues in London. Always great sound and there's a street-food market before you enter the main area.
Martin TiedemannMay 20, 201231 July: Go for a walk around the Palace and grounds, host to exhibitions and concerts, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a garden centre, a boating lake and a deer enclosure.
KostasNovember 28, 2015Amazing view of London from the north. Also, great gig space with lots of food stalls indoors and outdoors.
Élina MosaddeghJune 9, 2016Awesome place to sit on the grass and also great view of London. The food festivals are a blast!
The place to see the most amazing views of London :-) Grab a beer in the pub at the top and sit outside :-) #bliss- The place to see the most amazing views of London :-) Grab a beer in the pub at the top and sit outside :-)
Charlie WatkinsOctober 8, 2015Fantastic venue, came to see Florence + The Machine and the atmosphere was incredible.
- A. B.August 18, 20133G coverage here is very limited. Put your phone on airplane, turn on wifi and then connect to AllyPallyFreeWifi. Fast, free & no login! Sometimes drops though...
J CraskeDecember 9, 2015Great venue, if your at a gig and after a beer expect to wait several hours and rude staff at all bars
Alpaslan AlpaslanJanuary 31, 2019It was a building expo, very productive day, mainly about home automation (smart systems)
AdrianJune 5In house catering is quite expensive, and you may find security won’t allow your own food in (but the exact policy they enforce is ambiguous).
Home of the World Darts Championship every Christmas. Drink beer, wear silly costumes, dance badly and watch some incredible darts
Time Out LondonMarch 28, 2012Poor old Ally Pally: this landmark hilltop venue (with some of London’s best views) opened in 1873 as The People’s Palace, but it’s been devastated by fire twice... Read more
Josh WhithamMay 13, 2017Great place for a little bit of sweat, passion, beer and teenage emotion, 10/10
Kevin McCulleyDecember 8, 2015Great arena, though like many of these places food and drink are very expensive
Jez PierceMarch 10, 2012If you're short, go to the pillars. There's a ledge you can stand on, about 1ft high. Awesome.
Andrew ShepherdJanuary 18, 2012Pot the red then screw back for the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
