Ronnie Scott's

Ronnie Scott's is a jazz bar in Soho that has sat at the centre of London's jazz scene for decades. It has hosted some of the most important figures in the music, both local players and international names, which is a large part of why people make the trip.

Inside, the room is intimate, with classic decor and low lighting built around the nightly live performances. There is food and drink too, chosen to go with the music rather than compete with it, and that mix of programming and hospitality has made the bar a fixture of Soho nightlife.

The club still carries the spirit of its late founder, Ronnie Scott, in its commitment to giving jazz talent a stage. Newcomer or long-time listener, a night here is worth the visit.
