100 Club

You're walking down Oxford Street like any other day, then you descend into this basement and suddenly you're in the thick of it—sweaty, loud, absolutely alive. The 100 Club has been pulling in crowds since 1942, and while the paint might be peeling and the loo's definitely seen better days, that's precisely why it matters. You'll catch indie bands on their way up, established acts doing intimate sets, and jazz nights that remind you why people fell in love with live music in the first place. It's cramped, it's gritty, it's perfect.
