Located within an attractive Georgian townhouse at the end of a strip of restaurants in Charlotte Street, Charlotte Street Blues has to be one of the best placed live music haunts in London.

With a lighter, more jovial atmosphere than Ronnie Scott's or Parker McMillian, this charming little club hosts blues, rock, soul, and swing nights 7 days a week and has already coaxed the affluent Fitzrovians to don their bowling shirts and pack the place most evenings.

But don't be put off by the well-to-do surroundings, with admission starting at a measly fiver most nights, Charlotte Street is as fun for broke losers as it is for high-rollers.

One of the best places for a night-cap in central London.
