Roundhouse, Performing arts center in Chalk Farm, London, England
The Roundhouse features a circular structure with cast-iron Doric columns supporting a pointed roof, creating a distinct performance space for concerts and events.
Robert Stephenson designed this railway engine shed in 1847 for the London & Birmingham Railway, serving as a turntable facility for locomotive maintenance.
The venue transformed into an arts center in 1964, hosting performances by Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and providing creative programs for young artists.
The building contains music recording suites, film production rooms, rehearsal spaces, and offers yearly memberships for access to creative resources.
The structure maintains its original circular railway architecture while functioning as a modern performance venue with dedicated youth education programs.
