About the Guidebook

Small pubs and music venues that offer the best in music and food and drink in London. These are the places you only find if a local resident. Basement venues hostings tomorrow's indoe stars, best alternative jazz venues, avant garde cafe's, warehouse gigs and parties and gallery openings. 

This is about being local. Going to events and places not on the beaten track. Where the produce is local and the staff friendly. Be ready for anything to happen or just enjoy the knowledge of enjoying a day or evening spending time with local people in local places. 

Don't be a tourist. Be a local. 

Local Knowledge & Cool Perks

I have a load of contacts in the music industry so can inform you of late notice gigs, secret gigs, gigs in unusual places like breweries and private basements. Can get you tickets or guest list into sold out gigs and access to after parties.

Will update you with info about private parties and gallery openings often with free drink!

Can also you pack you off to the best real pubs in London that are off the beaten track and to the best burger joints in London.

Will also recommend excellent sushi and ramen places that won't cost a fortune.
