London’s iconic KOKO Camden reopened in 2022 after a multi-million-pound restoration, transforming the 19th-century theatre into a spectacular 50,000 sq ft venue. With a stage graced by legends from Prince to Amy Winehouse, KOKO combines heritage with world-class facilities: 5k live-streaming, in-house Production, and versatile spaces including the grand auditorium, roof terrace, VIP boxes, bars, secret club and green rooms — all minutes from Regent’s Park, King’s Cross and Oxford Circus.
