PizzaExpress Jazz Club

The West End


It might seem odd to pair a mediocre chain pizza place with smooth sax, but this spot has been one of the best jazz venues in London since opening in 1976. The club is hugely popular and has live music every night of the week. Artists such as Norah Jones, Gregory Porter and the late Amy Winehouse played here in their early days.
