One of the greatest live music venues/collective spaces in the world. Their programming is top notch and unlike any other. I have seen top notch jazz and experimental music there every time I have been. It's a very special place filled with incredible books and records to purchase as well. A must visit for me Everytime I am in London.

I dropped by here after someone commented on one of my videos about record shops in London, specifically shops that focus on jazz, funk, and related fusion music. This cafe/music scpace/store was highly recommended. As you can see from other reviews there is a live music scene here and a nice open concept cafe with some food. But I went specifically for the LPs, so my rating should reflect this focus. There were certainly quite a few new jazz LPs that I would have normally taken home -- LPs that were relatively hard to find, or local to the London jazz scene, but prices were above what I'm used to spending, or what Discogs guides. I'll try back this fall to see if anything has changed. For now though I would not recommend unless you have the time.
