NME Awards 2007 - 'Best Live Venue'
"Bridging the gap between London's intimate venues and soulless arenas, the Grade 2 listed building is one of the capital's best live venues. Its sloping floor gives a decent view from almost anywhere and the slightly surreal interior (based on the Rialto Bridge in Venice) lends each show here a true sense of occasion." - Time Out
Brixton Academy was voted 'Best Live Venue' in the NME Awards 2007.
