The Forum, Concert hall in Kentish Town, England.

The Forum Theatre spans multiple floors with a main standing area and upstairs balcony seating, accommodating 2,300 people for live performances.

Opening in 1934 as a cinema, the building was designed by architect John Stanley Coombe Beard in Italian Renaissance style with art deco elements.

The venue transformed from a cinema to an Irish dance hall, then a bingo hall, before establishing itself as a concert venue for international performers.

Located near Kentish Town station at 9-17 Highgate Road, the Forum Theatre provides multiple transport connections for visitors attending evening events.

The interior preserves original architectural elements from 1934, including decorative plasterwork and period lighting fixtures that complement modern sound systems.
