Event Venue

Alexandra Palace

Known affectionately as Ally Pally, Alexandra Palace is an iconic venue on a hill in north London, with panoramic views across the city. The hill that Ally Pally sits on top of is about 100 meters high, so it's worth arriving early just for the vista. The area is also known as the birthplace of television, and the old TV masts are still visible on the roof. There’s a rooftop adventure where you can climb to the roof of the building at an altitude of 130 meters above sea level.
