The rooms. Across the 169 rooms that list a capacity, the middle one holds about 200 and 54 hold under 150; the largest listed is Magazine at 3,000. They are spread over 144 areas, led by Shoreditch (11), Hoxton (9) and Soho (9).

What they book. Jazz, rock and folk come up most often in what London venues say they book, out of 97 genres listed. An act that fits pitches best with a recent clip and a clear fee. 17 of these listings were added or re-checked in the last month.

Next steps. The London gig directory shows which of these rooms are booking now; the London open mics are where new acts get stage time, and the GX Index sets out the going rates. Venues close by: Reading, Brighton and Cambridge. Need an act for one? See live music for pubs, clubs and hotels.
