Alexandra Palace is steeped in history and has been an iconic London landmark since Queen Victoria was in reign. The 10,000 capacity venue has been used for a variety of different events since it was built and has a music heritage to boast about. Below are just five of the many iconic moments that have happened at Ally Pally...

In the early nineties, the Brit Awards began a three-year residency at the iconic Alexandra Palace. Performances include Take That, Pet Shop Boys, Elton John and Madonna!
