Temple of Art & Music (TAM) is a charitable live-music venue inside Mercato Metropolitano at Elephant & Castle (42 Newington Causeway, London SE1). More than a bar, it blends live music, digital art and nightlife, programming nightly jazz, blues and soul plus open mics, karaoke parties, blues jams and even resident AI-band performances — with a strict 'only authentic musicians, no cover bands' policy. Founded by Sieng Van Tran in memory of his brother Tam, every ticket, food and drink sale supports struggling and emerging artists. A house PA is provided. Note: Mercato Metropolitano is due to relocate from the Newington Causeway site in late 2026, so the exact address may change.
