    I like this over the Hammersmith Apollo, they're similar with the good sloping floor for a good view and good sound for loud shows. Brixton Academy wins because it's just much more interesting to look at with the lush decorations. :)

    I've been to some of my most memorable gigs at the Brixton Academy. I like the sloping floor - makes it easier to see from further back, and they get a ton of great artists through. Sound is good for hip hop shows because they're well set up for heavy bass given the club nights that share the space.
