The Most Unusual Music Venues in London
London has no shortage of places to see live music. But if you’re sick of the same old band rooms, concert halls and sweaty clubs, here are a few music venues that are a little more out there.
1. Sky Garden
Bar, British
2. The Vaults
Theater, Art Gallery
3. St Barnabas, Soho
Building
The Golden Hinde
Climb aboard the beautiful Golden Hinde to enjoy the live folk music evening, the Tiller Flat Folk Club. Once a month, the grand old ship takes a break from the tourists to host some of the finest folk singers and bands playing music from around the globe. With tickets at just a fiver and an on-board bar, it must be time to set sail.
Mick’s Garage
Just next door to the tap room of the Crate Brewery in Hackney Wick, is Mick’s Garage. Sound a little pokey? Guess again. As well as live DJs, it is home to a meat-smoking food shack, a Kombucha and cocktail bar, a coffee roaster and café and occasional markets. Not your average garage.
