One of London's most famous yet intimate concert halls. With world class artists performing to packed enthusiastic audiences in a very unfussy setting. Always a joy and highly recommended if you're in town check out what's on an treat yourself. There's a great bar and restaurant too where you can relax before and after or just drop into.

I attended a concert here last week, the second one I've been to at Wigmore Hall. The venue itself is fantastic, perfect for chamber music, being small and intimate. Every seat has a good view of the stage, and the venue is impeccably well kept and tidy. Tickets are well priced, and for under 25s are often free. Under 35s also get discounted tickets. For the concert I saw, the venue was only half full, which seems a shame considering the quality of the event, so I would definitely recommend that anyone in London book tickets for a concert here.

Arrived at about 6pm, restaurant was almost empty, but staff were welcoming and offered us a bar or A la carte restaurant menu. Chose A la carte menu, 2 courses for £30, 3 for £40. Sat at a nicely -laid table for 2, staff were welcoming and attentive, so far so good. We were presented with menus and served promptly with drinks, offered a choice of rolls and butter and our orders were taken in a polite and friendly manner. The starters were well-presented and flavoursome. The main courses (both fish- cakes) were fine, but unexciting. After this, the waiter offered us coffee, and we asked to see a dessert menu, at which point his attitude changed and told us we should have ordered all courses at once because it runs like a train and they needed to be ready for the performance at 7.30. We told him nobody had said anything about that to us, and he justified the position further, saying that anyone who arrived after 6.45 is only offered the bar menu (it was 6.50). However, he said they’d make an exception and took our dessert orders! We waited and waited and the restaurant filled up with pre-concert customers from 7pm. We were only able to attract the waiter’s attention at 7.15 or so and he assumed we wanted the bill (we’d given up on the idea of dessert by then as the concert did indeed start at 7.30), so he arrived with the payment machine and a bill for 2 x 2 courses @£30 each, drinks and 2 x 1 course @ £25 EACH! for desserts that they hadn’t brought, bringing the total to £125! Fortunately they recalculated the bill and we paid just in time to get to the concert, but what a disappointment after a promising start!

We had a dire experience in the restaurant last night. Seated at 6.15 p.m. our orders were not taken until 6.40. We asked to have one course but were told that two were obligatory. The first course was not served until 6.55 p.m. At 7.20 the bells for performance were ringing and we had no time to eat our main course, so it was waiting for us in the interval, but the time was inadequate to finish. The soup was cold and the fishcakes uninspiring. What happened to the efficiency of yesteryear?

Brilliant venue, location and phenomenal performance. Strongly recommend booking a 1pm performance as an inspirational and invigorating lunch break. Taken by my partner to see Vedran Janjanin play (amongst others) Scriabin. His work speaks for itself- go check him out. However it a beautiful venue, and lunch performances are as little as £10! Plus, extra kudos for considering even us aged 34 year olds for your young person discount to £5. Go go go!

A beautiful Victorian hall where you can sit, listen and relax. Found out about its existence through a colleague and decided to experiment one cold night. It’s such a lovely place, a bit like a time capsule just off Bond Street. Went to listen to a string quartet - felt my emotions quite attuned to the rhythm of the compositions and the excellent musicians. I’ll definitely come back. The hall is easily accessible by public transport. There is a bar/restaurant but didn’t have the chance to try it. The music room is good size, not too big and comfortable.

An acoustically perfect concert hall for chamber music. Many of the world's best performers of Western classical music appear here.

Review: Wigmore Hall - A Haven for Musical Excellence Rating: ★★★★★ Nestled in the heart of London, Wigmore Hall stands as a beacon of musical excellence and a cherished haven for lovers of classical music. Having had the privilege of attending a performance at this esteemed venue, I can confidently say that it is a cultural gem that never fails to deliver a truly remarkable experience. From the moment I stepped into Wigmore Hall, I was enveloped by an aura of elegance and sophistication. The intimate setting, with its warm lighting and exquisite architectural details, creates an atmosphere that is both inviting and enchanting. The hall's acoustics are renowned worldwide, and it was a delight to experience the rich and resonant sound that filled the space, allowing every note and nuance to be heard with utmost clarity. The programming at Wigmore Hall is nothing short of exceptional. Whether it be solo recitals, chamber music ensembles, vocal performances, or orchestral concerts, the lineup showcases a diverse range of musical genres and styles, spanning from the Baroque era to contemporary compositions. The hall attracts some of the most accomplished musicians from around the globe, and each performance I have attended has been a masterclass in artistry and musical expression. The attention to detail and commitment to artistic excellence is evident in every aspect of a Wigmore Hall concert. The programming is thoughtfully curated, often featuring thematic or historically significant programs that provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the music being performed. The artists themselves bring a level of virtuosity and passion to their performances that is truly awe-inspiring. The connection between the performers and the audience is palpable, creating a shared experience that transcends the confines of the concert hall. One of the hall's unique features is its dedication to nurturing emerging talent. The Wigmore Hall Learning program offers a range of educational initiatives, workshops, and concerts aimed at engaging young musicians and audiences. It is a testament to the hall's commitment to the future of classical music and ensuring its accessibility and relevance for generations to come. The staff at Wigmore Hall deserve special mention for their professionalism and attentiveness. From the moment of arrival, they create a welcoming and hospitable environment, ensuring that patrons are well taken care of and have a seamless experience. The hall's intimate size allows for a more personal and intimate engagement with the artists, and the staff goes above and beyond to make each visitor feel valued and appreciated. In conclusion, Wigmore Hall is a cultural gem that embodies the very essence of classical music. Its intimate setting, outstanding acoustics, and world-class programming combine to create an unforgettable experience for both seasoned concert-goers and newcomers to the genre. A visit to Wigmore Hall is an opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty and power of music, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a transcendent musical journey.

Terrific acoustics, reasonable prices, and reasonably well-behaved audiences (no clapping between movements, cell phones going off, or candy wrapper disturbances, but yikes, folks, what’s with the coughing?). Truly enjoyed seeing the Marmen Quartet there during their Sunday morning series and pianist Beatrice Rana alongside violinist Simone Lamsma the other evening.

Beautiful and intimate concert hall with excellent acoustics. Have seen many of the chamber music performances there whenever we are in London. Saw the Aris Quartet perform on Sunday at 11.30am. The Sunday at 11.30am performances are an hour long with no intermission. You get to have a glass of sherry or coffee after the performance. Ticket prices are very reasonable. Attached below is the schedule of the Sunday at 11.30am performances for March through April. Would strongly recommend a visit if you are in London. Advance ticket purchases are a must as the concerts are very popular.

My 1st concert at the famous Wigmore Hall - we saw the Hagen Quartet play Mozart last night. So impressed with them - the 3 Hagen siblings Lukas, Veronica & Clemens, joined by Rainer Schmidt - all from Salzburg in Austria. They’ve been playing together since 1981 & 1987 (Schmidt) & it shows. They are a joy to watch - the connection between them is so strong, and with music like Mozart it’s always fun to watch the interplay when there is such a close bond as his music is full of fun & surprise & that’s why I love the intimacy of a string quartet. The Hall itself is lovely - beautiful setting with excellent acoustics. Seating was a little compact in space and it was full where we were and a bit stifling so we moved further back where it was less crowded, after the first piece. Might’ve been more to do with me being ill with a chest infection though. The Bar/Cafe downstairs is surprisingly large - we only had drinks so can’t comment on food offerings.

Für mich persönlich der schönste Konzertsaal Londons mit einer außerordentlich guten Akustik, die sich ideal für die vielfältigen Lieder- und Kammermusikabende eignet, die dort ganzjährig stattfinden. Der im Jahre 1901 vom Berliner Klavierhersteller Bechstein als 'Bechstein Hall' eröffnete Saal (im Ersten Weltkrieg als 'Feindesgut' deklariert und enteignet) wurde vom Architekten des Londoner Savoy Hotels entworfen und ist mit seiner dunkelroten Bestuhlung und den Wanddekorationen auch visuell ein Juwel! Wenn also etwas passendes auf dem Spielplan steht - unbedingt hingehen. Die Preise sind eher moderat und es lohnt sich auf alle Fälle! Spiffing!
