Hotels for The Reytons

A Saturday night arena show from a band who built their following the hard way, through relentless touring and word of mouth rather than radio playlists. Expect a crowd that sings every line back, drawn from a fanbase that has followed this group's rise from small clubs to rooms this size. The setting on a hill above the city adds some occasion to proceedings, with a doors time early enough for a proper night out afterwards. It's a gig for the converted more than the curious.

Perched on a north London hilltop with sweeping views over the city, 'Ally Pally' is a grand Victorian pleasure palace turned much-loved concert, festival and darts venue. Its surrounding parkland, boating lake and the leafy streets of Muswell Hill and Wood Green give the area a relaxed, village-ish feel.

Alexandra Palace rail station and buses climb toward the entrance, linking to King's Cross in minutes. An overnight base nearby means you can enjoy the hilltop setting without a long downhill journey after dark.
