What this room is like
Nobody has said what this room sounds like
294 concerts logged here and not one answer yet. Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Hackney Empire is actually like to stand in. There is room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.

A guest 80% on King Crimson · Tue, 08 Sep 2015
I am not a King Crimson fan. I love Progressive music but never had the chance to spend time on King Crimson. They blew me away. I will definitely now make more time for them.
