Overview

The venue is on the first floor in the Angel Central shopping centre in Islington. On the night I went ticket holders were being checked on the ground floor entrance. On seeing I had a walking stick one of the security staff took me up in the lift (rather than the stairs other punters were directed to) and got me a seat in a cordoned off area to the right of the stage. I hadn't made arrangements beforehand (expected to lean against a wall) so happy. Good view but if I had needed the toilet I would have had to get past the whole crowd to the back of venue (and we were right by the bar). The venue has detailed info about access arrangements on its website - there is also a lift accessible area on the mezzanine (balcony) level. At the stage side we were right by the emergency exit.

Transport & Parking

The venue is in a shopping centre and there is a car park there. I came by tube to Angel which is OK for me as a walking stick user as it has escalators. There are a number of buses stopping near the venue.

Access

There is lift access from street level to the venue up on the first floor - from memory I thought the actual entrance was on the first floor but punters were being checked in on the ground floor - but security were happy to take me up in the lift when I said I couldn't manage the stairs

Toilets

No comment - I didn't use the toilets

Staff

Security saw my walking stick as I approached the entrance and took me up in a lift and got me a seat by the side of the stage. At the end of the gig they asked if we needed any help to leave the venue

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I was pleasantly surprised by the helpful security staff. The stage side seating was right by the bar so getting drinks was easy. The toilet was right at the back - and I think there were a few steps to negotiate to get at it though I didn't make us of it.
