   Nice cafe/venue in old building. Very bubbly chatty place and good to sit. Tiny menu but good. I had sourdough toast with marmite..3 slices..coffee good. .the soup looked food too. sells lots of records ,jazz,experimental music and it holds this same kind of live events. I didn't know how well known it is in experimental circles it is. Friendly staff . I can imagine the night time events will be very atmospheric there.

   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.

   Excellent musical acts, great sound quality, nice crowd, good beer. What more could one want? Well, I would ask for more reasonable temperatures. I don’t understand why this place has to be kept so hot during performances. It’s so uncomfortable it almost ruins the experience. An older person actually passed out from heatstroke. That’s how hot it was. But the puzzling thing is: they do have AC; they just choose to keep it off. Why? It’s borderline irresponsible to do that in the summer. We can do better, friends. We should allow ourselves to expect better from such a fine venue.

   Really lovely space, with some great acts etc. Playing there. Tasty ipa, very nice balanced sound system. Only drawback is it's a little pricey, but not more than i would expect at this sort of venue. Will certainly be returning here.

   A wonderful venue with a continuing programme of innovative and inspiring music featuring artists from around the globe. Exploratory and ever challenging in the best possible way! Great cafe during the day with a nice atmosphere and bar in the evening. Fabulously well stocked bookshop and records and vinyl add to the magic of this place! Long may it prosper!

   This place offers a huge variety of gigs from all around the world, it is quite impressive. The vibe there is so nice, I really recommend this place for any alternative music fans (or just music fans in general!) that wanna see special musicians. The price of the drink are more than okay, and you can bring your own food as they don’t do any kind of food. They also sell some posters, records and zines (but beware, they are unfortunately very very expensive). I live this place for the quality of the music and I think it is, in my experience, one of the best places in London to listen to alternative/underground music.

   Home of avant-garde and experimental music in London. It is a cosy atmosphere. Doors normally open at 7:30. Make sure you arrive early if you want a seat.
