London Gigs
...Music, Atmosphere, a Great Night Out

London Gigs Intro

London gigs are on every night of the week. For those who love hanging out at a cool pub/bar with live music, London's your playground. Many of the UK's biggest artists have began their careers playing a stage in one of the smaller independent venues.

As with comedy shows in London and London West End shows if you want to see a more famous act, they'll be playing at one of the major London music venues and it's a good idea to purchase your tickets well in advance.

Insider Tip: Public transport is an easy, convenient and cheap travel option. Check out the London Travel Planner to find the easiest way to get to and from the gig.
