London Music Venues London Indie Union ChapelUnion Chapel
The Union Chapel is a chapel converted for musical performance, which can hold up to 800. Since it offers such good acoustics, 
The Union Chapel's a popular place for impromptu performances by A-list acts. In 2007, Bono and The Edge from U2 performed here, as have Amy Winehouse, Beck, Goldfrapp, Keane and Noel Gallagher. An eclectic blend of musicians play from indie, to small orchestras, flamenco and acoustic folk.
As well as an extensive programme of concerts, it also adds the odd freebie. So you can try the venue out. The acoustics are a draw for the performers and audience alike, with a warm, crisp sound resonating from wall to wall.
The Union Chapel is a registered charity and needs the funds for its various building restoration projects (leaky roof, crumbling brickwork, organ refurbishment). It also provides drop-in services and support for the homeless and those in crisis - including hot meals, showers laundry and other essentials. They're always looking for volunteers.
The Union Chapel still operates as a church on Sundays.
