The Sindercombe Social is a lively British pub on Goldhawk Road in Shepherd's Bush, a stone's throw from the Eventim Apollo, and a genuine music-lover's hub in west London. Behind its wood-panelled floors, traditional brickwork and trendy furnishings it pours rotating craft beers and serves hearty pub food while live music runs four nights a week — Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays — and it's always free to get in. The weekly open mic is a true mixed bag, hosting everyone from rappers to folk singers playing both covers and originals, alongside karaoke nights and DJ or live-band sets. An accessible, welcoming room for grassroots performers in the heart of Shepherd's Bush.
