Raleigh Chapel

Hackney

Raleigh Chapel is a food venue in N16, and its programming leans towards music. That shapes the kind of night you get. Expect album launches and live sets, with the occasional listening session built around a new release. Food and music share the same evening, so people often come for one and stay for the other. That suits a particular listener. Someone who wants to hear records before they are everywhere. Someone who likes a meal with a soundtrack that has an opinion. The crowd tends to be curious rather than loud. People come to hear the artist, not to be seen. Go in with an open mind, and you will probably leave with a new name to look up.
