Things to do in London, England: The Best Jazz Clubs & Bars

July 29, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

The Piano Bar Soho

Squirrelled away behind the black door of a narrow Soho townhouse, The Piano Bar occupies a small but smart cappuccino-tone drawing room. By night it morphs into a live late lounge serving wine, bubbles and cocktails: Long Island Iced Tea, Old Fashioned, Twinkle, Bramble and various other classic NY-Lon numbers. Here’s where to discover a latter-day Chet Baker or Tony Bennett and foxy dames in the tradition of Billie, Ella, and Amy Winehouse at her most sultry.

We really enjoyed our evening at the piano bar, the place is cosy and welcoming, it just makes for a great night out, because the music was also very good, lady playing the piano and taking suggestions of songs from the audience.
