What's On in London

From Camden to Brixton, Shoreditch to Soho. London is the UK's live music capital. Planning a private party instead? See [booking live entertainment in London](/gigs/live-entertainment-london) for bands, singers and DJs for one-off occasions. Booking for the company rather than yourself? See [corporate entertainment in London](/gigs/corporate-entertainment-london) for Christmas parties, awards nights and conferences.

Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 419 gigs across London over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily — alongside the 274 grassroots venues and 70 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up above sends London listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you.
