Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, and the rooms above pubs where things start. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

Pizza Express Live Dean Street

The best-known jazz room in Britain to sit underneath a pizza restaurant, and a serious booking policy despite it.

The basement has been putting on jazz since 1969, and the incongruity is the whole charm: you order a pizza upstairs, go down a staircase, and find a low room with a grand piano where a great many well-known musicians have recorded live albums.

The bookings run to visiting American singers and instrumentalists as well as British bands, and the room is small enough that the front tables are within arm's reach of the piano.
