The Troubadour

Immerse yourself in the rich history of music and coffee house culture at the Troubadour, South Kensington.

A host of famous performers have graced the Troubadour stage since it opened in 1954, including Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Adele, Bob Dylan and Florence Welch. Catch future stars and established favourites downstairs, as part of regular ticketed events or enjoy free music upstairs in the cafe as you tuck into tasty dishes. The funky Troubadour House Band might even let you join in for a tune if you pop in on a Wednesday.

On sunny days you can enjoy a cocktail in the garden, and the venue also has a small number of hotel rooms available.

If you want to sample one of London’s musical gems, the Troubadour should be on your list.
