606 Club

If you want to see some underground jazz, with impromptu sets, then 606 is the place.

– Jamie Cullum

In the upmarket surroundings of Chelsea you'll find a unique jazz haven, the 606 club. This place gets busy, and you probably won't get in at the weekend unless you're a member, or have booked for dinner. Licensing restrictions mean that alcohol can't be served to non-members without a meal. But the 606 will squeeze you in on a weeknight if there's room and you're happy to drink soft drinks!

Pizza Express Jazz Club

The Pizza Express Jazz Club offers a pleasant dining experience with some talented jazz performers that often surpass expectation. Enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year, the restaurant is a casual alternative to the more traditional and expensive jazz dens.

The Jazz Café

Situated in the vibrant surroundings of Camden Town, The Jazz Café is a high-spec venue that still manages to retain a decent level of intimacy. Unlike other conventional clubs, most acts are aimed to the urban side of the market. The Sunday afternoon session is an opportunity to witness live improvised jazz in the raw.

Jazz After Dark

Jazz After Dark is an excellent live music venue in Soho, which is open five nights a week (closed Sunday and Monday). Tapas, cocktails and a European menu add an interesting slant to the experience but make sure you book on weekend evenings - this joint gets packed!
