About this venue

O2 Forum Kentish Town is a concert venue with real character—memorable for its striking exterior and the kind of atmosphere that makes live shows feel personal. Set in Kentish Town in North London, it blends classic cinema-style architecture with the buzz of a modern music hall, making it a favourite for gigs where you want to feel close to the stage.

Inside, the space keeps an intimate, high-energy feel while still welcoming a few thousand fans, with strong sightlines from multiple areas. The sound is tuned for live performances, and practical features like bars and a cloakroom help the night flow smoothly before, during, and after the show.

Address: 9-17 Highgate Rd, London, United Kingdom. The entrance is directly on Highgate Road; the easiest approach is to head to Kentish Town Underground or Kentish Town West and walk the short distance to the venue. If you’re arriving by car, expect limited nearby street parking and plan extra time; for wider city travel options and connections, see the London overview further down the page.

About the city: London

London is a global metropolis where sport, concerts and major events blend naturally into the city’s everyday rhythm. As one of Europe’s leading entertainment hubs, it draws visitors looking for top-tier production, huge variety and an energy that runs from early morning to late at night. Whether you’re coming for a headline match or a live music spectacle, London delivers the feeling that something is always happening—and that everything is within easy reach.

Getting in and moving around is powered by one of Europe’s most practical networks: London Underground (Tube), London Overground, DLR, Elizabeth line and National Rail connect key districts, with transfers that are straightforward and well signposted. If you arrive by train, London King’s Cross, St Pancras International, London Victoria and Liverpool Street are among the city’s main gateways. Air connections are just as strong—Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City cover a wide range of routes, making it easy to align your trip with an arena or stadium plan.

When it comes to event locations, London offers a dense spread of arenas and stadiums across the city, supported by frequent transport links and clear wayfinding. In practice, that means you can stay central or choose quieter neighborhoods and still reach the entrance quickly—without complicated routes or endless changes. It’s especially convenient that many venues sit close to public-transport interchanges, so getting back after the event feels simple and safe.

Turn your visit into a sightseeing bonus too: walk along the Thames and the South Bank, soak up the classic atmosphere around Westminster, or head for the lively streets of Covent Garden and Soho. For iconic views and a great vibe, there’s Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge, and for a calmer break from the crowds, Hyde Park. London’s advantage is that, before or after the show, there’s always time for a stroll, a good meal and a quick city adventure—without the sense you’re racing from one end to the other.
