Concerts London
The LSO’s Old Street venue brings chamber music, lunchtime recitals and participatory concerts into a former church, with the Jerwood Hall at its centre.
This is a separate venue from the orchestra’s Barbican concerts. Read the address on your ticket and use the announced door time: the building is not an all-day waiting space for evening performances. Free Discovery concerts, family sessions and paid recitals each have their own age and booking arrangements.
