The Night
The Two Bridges, an ale house and kitchen right by London Bridge, runs a free open mic every Monday in partnership with UK Open Mic. Music kicks off at 7:30pm with walk-up sign-up from 7pm, though slots can be reserved ahead at UKOpenMic.com/TwoBridges and that's the safer bet. Each set is 10 minutes (roughly two songs, including set-up). The night costs the pub to put on, so they ask you to grab at least a drink from the bar to keep it going.
