Hotels for Saxon - Gods Of Thunder

Saxon built their name on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and a Saturday night show is where that history still makes sense — loud, riff-driven, no frills. Expect a crowd of long-time devotees who know the catalogue deep, mixing denim and patches with people who've followed the band for decades.

The set draws on a career's worth of anthems rather than a single record, so the pacing shifts between the anthemic and the punishing. Doors early, no support confirmed here, so plan your evening around the headline set itself.

A beautifully preserved art-deco theatre in Hammersmith, the Eventim Apollo is one of London's best-loved mid-size music venues, hosting touring bands, comedy and one-off gigs. The surrounding west London district blends riverside pubs along the Thames with the bustle of the Broadway's shops and cafés.

Hammersmith station, served by the District, Piccadilly and other lines, sits almost opposite the entrance. Booking a room nearby means you can spill out after the show straight into the neighbourhood's late bars and easy transport.
