Wigmore Hall
Overview
Wigmore Hall was built in 1901 by the German piano firm Bechstein next to its showrooms on Wigmore Street. The Hall was intended to provide a venue both grandly impressive and yet intimate enough for recitals. It has always been important for artists giving their London debuts, but it is also a cherished venue for major international artists and their capacity audiences, and now presents 400 concerts a year.

What I love about Wigmore Hall is how intimate it feels. The music that it specialises, Chamber music, excels in a venue like this. The reliefs on the walls are Art Deco, though the seating upholstery is a bit dated now. Performance prices start from £10.
