This is a great venue. It’s got a decent number of bars and you can lean up at the downstairs bar and still have a good enough view of the stage. It’s a little bit like going to a gig in an episode of The OC. You can have a natter(or argument if truly channeling the spirit of Ryan and Marissa), get a drink and listen to the music. It holds regular club nights in here too, so look out for those.

ive been here a few times through the years — for gigs(which were amazing), for massive fancy dress parties, for club type things… its great because the space is so freaking huge, if you get bored in one area you can always just walk around and find something else to look at. the area is a bit dodgy, so be sure you know how youre getting home when you leave.

Came here for a Halloween ball. The place is huge! Lots of different bars, a few different stages. Could definitely see myself having a good time listening to a favorite band here as well.

wicked club for drum and bass music, slightly grimey atmosphere but with a wicked layout and sound system. Have had wicked nights in there.

Coronet Theatre is not the best place of the moment in London but I rate it 3 stars for their venues efforts. We have all the EdBangers Label birthday there(label of Justice, Busy P, Uffie and more) and this year there was(the last one was the 18th of June) the famous together party… I’ve been there for Vitalic, Fisher Spooner and all the MAC’s which play good gigs always!!! The place needs to be redecorated I think and it could become a very good club. Also the party are cheap all the time 10 or 15£. Go there for good DJ only!

As far as venues go, this place rocks. First off, I have only been here once, to a fancy private party that had free cocktails, free food, bands etc, so I can’t comment on drinks prices, cover charges or anything like that. The Coronet is an old cinema. There is still a movie theatre part to the club with a screen and seats. There is also a stage and a couple of bars. This venue is a brilliant choice to hire out for parties. The party I went to had indie short-movie screenings happening in the cinema part(complete with free bags of popcorn and candyfloss, handed out by boys and girls in 1940s burlesque-type outfits), in the downstairs part there was music(a dj and bands) dancing and free giant hotdogs. Upstairs they turned one bar into a ‘piano bar’ with a grand piano and loungey type singer(I think they may also have done a ‘piano bar karaōke’ type thing too). The other bar was bigger and had swing dancing going on, complete with a never-ending supply of fancy cocktails. The model Erin O’Connor was also there, sipping on a cocktail and looking effortlessly glamorous… There were also goodie-bags, but obviously, that has nothing to do with the venue, that’s just me showing off about my free Shu Uemera make-up and Paul Smith sunglasses… :) Of course, the awesomeness of the event will depend on the organisers, but everything else aside this venue is ace and has the potential for a quirky night out!

I came here a few years ago with a friend for a techno night. The club is an old cinema, and as ‘concepts’ go it’s pretty awesome. There is a dance floor and various rooms. The layout is a little odd as they don’t obviously correspond to that of a cinema. Still there is a balcony with seats, that I imagine is unchanged aspect. At the show I was at they were projecting nuclear bomb warning adverts from the sixties whilst the artist played this stormy atmospheric music. Then they showed an edited version of The Shining as another artist performed a live soundtrack. It was an incredible experience, hampered only by people trying to buy drugs from me because I was sober. If you can, try and see an audiovisual show, the venue will make it a memorable experience.

This was weird, I went in not knowing what to expect, it doesn’t look like much from the outside. And inside, again, you walk in — labyrinthine corridors to the toilets, climb a stairwell, a medium sized room with cool kids dancing. Up the stairs again, and it’s another, slightly larger room, again with people dancing. Go up the stairs again, and you come out INTO A MASSIVEAUDITORIUM! Like, the whole place is an old theatre. And now they have club nights and bands on there. So it feels like you’re pissing all over classical sensibilities. Oops, have I just urinated on your love of old dancehall? It’s funny as a club venue, maybe more suited to watcing bands or ‘acts’. There were people on the stage, but by the time we were in the stalls, I’d lost track of where the stage was. Be warned, I queued for 1WHOLEHOUR to buy drinks, by which time, everyone was so fed up of waiting that I bought NINE cans, which meant we all got a bit too drunk and spent all our money quite early. That was annoying. But on the whole, just the thriller of being out in a giant auditorium is good. Sound good. Nice crowd. Just remember to queue really really early if you’re getting a drink.

The Coronet is a converted cinema that becomes a venue at night. The bands don’t play the large cinema halls, they play in the reception room. It’s a small stage with a fairly good sound system and it’s a great place to go see small bands. There are two floors as well, with bars on both and very elegant stairs! A very unlikely venue but a good one, none the less.
