Best Gig Venues

 Notting Hill Arts Club

A scruffy chic basement establishment that has for the last decade shown that West London can be just as cool in its music as East, as regularly rammed grime, hip-hop and dubstep night YoYo has shown.  Try out new monthly clubnight for emerging artists New Shapes to discover who’s about to be big to gain bragging rights that you saw them before they were cool.

AAA

A place that revels in rock, indie, folk and blues, while also providing a restaurant and cocktail bar, AAA is the whole package for a night out.  Open every day, with live performances almost every evening, this really is a hub for music lovers, giving you everything from bands, club nights, comedy gigs to karaoke, AAA is a venue that really deserves to be checked out.

The Troubadour

A legendary venue established in 1954 that has hosted everyone from Elton John to Morrissey to Adele, upstairs provides all-day breakfasts and pie and mash, while downstairs in the cellar bands and poets still perform, so definitely worth going along to, you might just see a future star.
