Best live music venues london in London

“Quirky little cafe-bar. Had a perfectly nice pot of tea and a really good pain chocolat. I was the only customer in and me and the owner Ken spent the whole time chatting, mostly about photography. Many of his are on the walls, along with several other photographers. There's also a lot of music instruments hanging on the walls and ceiling, Mozart-themed chocolates and other gifts (as the name might suggest) imported from Vienna, classical music playing. Overally a nice interesting place to sit and while away some time taking in the overall ambience.”

“I took up salsa lessons 7 months ago ,I've become addicted to it my first teachers are Heidi and Trever from Sweetlead on a Wednesday evening, I also go to other classes on a Thursday evening and Friday evening to get more practice and floor time .I can honestly say that sweetlead is the best class to go to the Teachers have more time for you and the atmosphere is far better than the other classes I've attended . Thank you Sweetlead Paul Young”

“Excellent venue to see a show. More importantly, a pint of Amstel was a very reasonable £5.20 and a portion of fries £3.50. The seats aren't the comfiest and are pretty small and close together, but it's an old historic building so I'll let them off! From glancing around around the theatre, it didn't seem like any of the seats sold as restricted view online would be that bad at all.”

“Nicely decorated space. I came here for a Portuguese language class as they hold a variety of workshops and events in the evenings. As I arrived after hours, I can’t comment on the coffee or food, but as far as being a venue for workshops, I really appreciated it. It’s definitely more suitable for smaller groups (there were about 10 of us I believe), but it was a decent space with a chill out vibe and nice decor. Hope to be back to try the coffee.”

“A wonderful small theatre right next to west Norwood station. The building itself is rather impressive itself and internally it is rustic and fits in with the building itself. The bar downstairs was welcoming and homely and despite an issue with their cellar, they had a reasonable selection available. The auditorium has a good rake on the seating meaning that I didn't feel too subconscious that I was blocking the person sitting behind me, but not too steep that it makes it a bad viewing angle for the audience. I will definitely be adding this to the list of theatres I keep an eye out on what's going on at.”

“Great bar! The staff were amazing, friendly and fun! Great choices of drinks including rattler in bottles which I was sooo happy about! The jukebox is awesome full of all rock metal and lots of other music! Pool table is good and a nice function room. Not the biggest place but had lots of fun.”

“Amazed by this find in the centre of Bromley. I always feel like it’s quite difficult to find a good fresh fish restaurant in London and surroundings: they all tend to deep fry everything and that’s annoying. The Blue Harbour offers a good selection of sea delicacy, big enough portions and a lovely service from the staff. We had a warm welcome as soon as we crossed the door and it didn’t stop until we left. The menu offers a good selection of fish as well as shellfish and seafood with an add on of steak for those who also can’t give up meat! Admirable selection of wines too. Overall it’s a bit pricy, however considering the quality of the food and it’s freshness I do think it’s fair. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and come back for the halibut!!”

“As ever, bloody brilliant. Really good food quickly served. Staff are friendly, engaged and polite. It's always clean and there's always a friendly bunch of people there. Lots of bikes out front and the Ace seems to have the ability to knock away the armour of the typical Londoner to the point of friendliness - especially if the conversation is about a nice bike in the car park.”

“I’ve been visiting this cafe on and off for twenty years and have always been served first class food. Great chicken curry and excellent liver and bacon dinners”

“Been coming to Kings Arms for years, karaoke sundays is one of the best nights in london, the staff are excellent and personable, Jesse is one of my faves. The place has a proper local feel and always feels welcoming for new and old customers. Honestly cant rate this place enough. Thanks to the team for making so many good nights.”

“I got both my nostrils pierced by Maddie and she was amazing! Really talked me through the process and explained a lot. Constant making sure I was okay and felt fine. Maddie also gave me advice on my other existing piercings that had developed keloids. Keloids are almost impossible to get rid of yourself but Maddie gave me amazing advice and they have shrunk so much! Definitely going back to her for a consultation for my other piercings and for any future ones! MADDIE IS A GENIUS!!!!!! Piercing Goddess ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“The place is gorgeous, the views would’ve been if it hadn’t been a foggy day as well The food is spot on, they made a mistake with our order but they recognised quickly and were very nice and apologetic about it. The large menu is A LOT of food, so make sure you are hungry! We went for a drink outside after the meal, and although I wasn’t personally very keen on the choice, my party LOVED them! Wide range and knowledge bar staff was key. Overall the food and the experience was spot on”

“Lovely service, friendly staff and great food. Went for my boyfriend’s birthday( 6 people) and the total bill was around £300. We got so many rounds of drinks and food for each person, including one desert and coffees. A free drink at the end was also offered. My boyfriend comes here quite often and really enjoys the fish and chips.”

“First time here! Great food, friendly staff and nice view, Magdalena was very friendly and helpful. Great customer service, highly recommended, definitely coming back soon!”

“Great pub with a good atmosphere within easy reach of local stations. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the service is always excellent. The drinks are well priced and most sports are shown here which is a big plus! I definitely recommend for a couple of drinks on a match day.”

“It is always a good fun. I'm so grateful to have live music and others events in my favourite local pub!”

“Great club. Friendly staff. A fantastic room to hire with BBQ area”

“Lovely bar, clean with plenty of seating. Friendly staff and excellent drinks. Get there early as it gets busy”

“Ended up here by mistake after the women's football. Fantastic pub. Lovely staff and locals. 3.30 for a pint of Guinness. Will be back”

“The food and beer were good. They had both British and Balkan food, very interesting menu. The workers were very friendly and the service was quick. My favourite pub in London.”

“Very nice club and pub and bar. Cordial staff and good crowd. Closing at 3am and mostly having concert in the weekends.”

“Went in to watch a Liverpool game, met Tim (fellow LFC) and Levy, good local lads. Cheap beer for London and a sound pub, will be going next time I'm down too.”

“Amazing venue, great events. HMD is the best, best security in any place I've ever been to, Jeff is what all security staff should be like and Roy on the door is always an absolute pleasure..all the bar staff are friendly... love this place”

“My son recently had his birthday party held here. The food was amazing along with the staff. The staff were very friendly and everyone could tell the food was made with care. The venue downstairs happened to be the best part. It was filled with a DJ booth and a bar a selection of drinks to choose from.The owner set most of the party up and respected all of us. Everyone enjoyed the party and wanted to come back. You should definitely come here! I can't wait to visit again! Well done! Kapture will be my goto for any event in future”

“Beds aren't great. Breakfast requires a bank loan. But, location is perfect. Staff are helpful and friendly. 4☆☆☆☆”

“Experience great, trying a burger, sure it will be fine. Very busy with lots of happy people. A great place. I am a bit confused as the boss says it's a backpacker hostel. Ok but £164 a night, guess I am out of touch. No criticism (in any bad way) but did not realize it was that costly for people to get a room for the night. All done, this is an excellent place, great fun and friendly. Take a bow!!!”

“1st Saturday of each month. It's been going on for the last,40 years. Amazing night. Strictly old school. 11pm till 6am.”

“Great pub, great atmosphere, great landlord.”

“Really nice pub! Great fish and chips, many different beers in tap and really really nice staff! Also quite family friendly.”
