Union Chapel

North London


One of London’s most atmospheric and individual music venues, the Union Chapel is an 1877 design by James Cubitt that still holds services as well as concerts and the monthly Live at the Chapel (£20) comedy club at 6.30pm Saturday. It also runs Daylight Music, free gigs (£5 donation suggested) that regularly take place on Saturdays from noon to 2pm.
