KOKO, 1a Camden High Street, London, NW1 7RE.
Mornington Crescent tube station is directly opposite the venue, and Camden Town is a ten minute walk away. The larger stations of Euston and King’s Cross are approximately 15 minutes walk.
Some of the performances can be very loud and if you’re sensitive to sound, please be sure to bring earplugs with you. We can provide these free of charge at the show but there is a limited supply, distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Often artists and performers will be selling merchandise before and after the show, in the foyer area. This is operated separately from KOKO.
We are not a seated venue and cannot reserve seating throughout unless it is in our designated Access area which is solely for those with disabilities/less able to stand & wheelchair users. There are a small amount of benches situated throughout the venue but they are first come first served.
KOKO is keen to promote equality of opportunity for people with disabilities and to take the necessary steps to meet their requirements. If you have accessibility requirements and wish to attend a KOKO show, first buy an accessible ticket through our ticketing channel (linked on the individual event), then contact us prior to the show so that we can ensure we can provide you with all necessary requirements. Sadly, if this option is not available on the event page, we have filled our allocation of this area.
Accessibility tickets are only purchasable through the KOKO website and once these tickets have been sold, we cannot accept any further accessibility requests.
If you require Accessibility tickets and these are no longer available, please do not purchase a GA ticket and expect to be accommodated as these will be refused. This is a strict policy to make sure the venue is safe for all customers.
Once you have bought your ticket please email the following address access@koko.uk.com with a list of all your requirements for the show. (ie. Wheelchair space, seating, queue jump etc).
Important note: if you are coming with a Carer/Personal Assistant, do not buy an extra ticket. The Accessibility ticket comes with a free Carer/PA pass.
If you would like us to contact you via phone call please state in and email along with a contact number.
We strive to make all our shows at KOKO accessible to everyone and we work with Attitude Is Everything to make sure things keep improving. Our venue was built in the early 1900s, so there are challenges, but together we can identify issues and come up with practical solutions. Your feedback is always welcome and we’ll do our best to be as flexible as possible to meet your needs.
The levy charge (£1.75) goes towards the maintenance, refurbishment and upkeep of our venue.
As a Grade II listed venue and an iconic part of London’s cultural heritage, the running of KOKO comes with a huge amount of responsibility, which we don’t take lightly. Everything we do has to be considered, investigated and approved by third parties, and often planning permission is required – which can be expensive. We’re determined to maintain what’s become a very special venue within the community, and protect the legacy for future generations to enjoy. To do so, we depend in a large part on gig-goers’ contributions and support through the levy charge, and so we’d also like to say a huge thank you. We know tickets can be expensive and additional charges are frustrating, but this one really makes a huge difference, and plays a vital role in securing KOKO’s future.
