    Cozy and great atmosphere combining history with happening! The visit to the hall is a must and the staff is both polite and informed. Good for groups. Great collection of drafts.

    Lovely bar with even lovelier staff. Great priced cocktails starting from only £8. Tried a few of the bar snacks which were also great. Mind you don't get lost in the endless rooms! Will defo be back.

    Fantastic atmosphere! Great for photo shoots. Cosy bar downstairs. Not so great for dancing despite the regular dance night IMHO, the floor is quite steep. Historic atmosphere makes up for it though.

    If you're in London, get down to Wiltons Music Hall. Fantastic show, the vintage vibe and music in the bar is amazing. What a hidden gem.

    Built as a music hall that opened in 1828, now more a space for the performing arts - for gloriously strange and unusual music events check out the listings page and look for the "MUSIC HALL" tags... Read more

    London's oldest music hall might look like it's about to crumble about your ears but it has a very vibrant programme of music, theatre, magic, comedy and more. Recently saved from closure, phew!

    Excellent venue for fringe shows in one of the few remaining music halls in London... Seats can be a bit uncomfortable (and too close to each other) so be warned

    The world's oldest surviving Grand Music Hall. Over 300 yrs it's evolved from Victorian sailors' pub to music hall, Methodist Mission to rag warehouse before reopening as the exciting venue it is now

    Sort of place you would expect fans of stem punk to frequent. Worth going for the silent moves plying in the background long side the slice of history.

    What began as a small theatre in the back of the pub opened as a music hall in 1859, and is now the oldest surviving example in the world. It’s claimed the can-can was first performed in the UK here.
