Hotels for Scouting for Girls

A Saturday night out built around singalong pop hits and a crowd that knows every word. Expect a mix of longtime fans who grew up on the band's early albums and couples out for an easy weekend gig, with the six o'clock start making it a proper evening rather than a late one. It's the kind of show where the atmosphere depends more on the crowd's mood than the setlist itself, cheerful and unpretentious throughout. A good choice for a first gig back after a break from live music.

Right beside the great stadium, this long-running indoor arena is one of London's classic concert and live-entertainment halls, hosting everything from arena tours to boxing and awards nights. It shares the redeveloped Wembley Park neighbourhood, so bars, chain restaurants and late-night food are all within an easy stroll.

The Jubilee and Metropolitan lines drop you minutes away, with Marylebone trains an alternative. Booking a room in the immediate area lets you wander back on foot once the show finishes.
