Strongroom is a fiercely independent, 200-capacity live music venue and bar at the heart of Shoreditch, built from the ground up around music. Opened in 1997 to serve the artists and engineers working in its onsite recording studios, it has grown into a vital space for live performance while staying deeply rooted in the creative community that surrounds it.

The square, intimate room delivers excellent sound and a close connection between artists and audience, supported by an in-house backline of quality amps and drums and an experienced, music-focused sound team. Strongroom regularly hosts standout indie rock, post-punk, psychedelic and forward-thinking pop acts, offering a genuine platform for emerging and established artists alike.

Decorated with vintage studio gear and opening out onto Shoreditch’s largest beer garden, Strongroom is more than a bar or a stage — it’s a trusted launchpad for new music and a long-standing cornerstone of East London’s live music ecosystem.
