Music lovers of all tastes can generally find something they like on most nights. The city’s major venues attract the top performers in the world but they also charge top prices. Jazz lovers can choose between renowned acts at the world-famous Ronnie Scotts in Soho or they can take in some lesser-known but equally entertaining jazz bands at Soho’s jazzed-up Pizza Express on Dean Street… Martin’s in the Fields church just opposite Nelson’s Column and Trafalgar Square. Live punk reggae rock and hip-hop clubs can be found in most quarters of the city – especially in Brixton south London where there is a significant live music scene. And finally visitors looking for a more artistic but less traditional night out may want to head out on the first Friday of every month when the Tate Britain one of the city’s top-ranked museums hosts "Late at Tate" where art lovers can relax with a drink and enjoy exhibitions performances music and films after hours.
