The best theatres, concert halls and music venues in London: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own work, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

The pub in the middle of Old Compton Street, and the one that helped make the street what it is.
Late
Comptons took a Victorian corner pub where Old Compton Street meets Wardour Street and reopened it as a gay bar in 1986, at a point when doing that openly on a main Soho street was a decision rather than a given. It is two floors: a wide ground-floor bar with its windows onto the pavement, which was rather the point, and a quieter room above it. The crowd is older and mixed, there is no door policy to speak of, and it is the least self-conscious room on the street.
