Iconic Blue Note Jazz Club to open first UK venue in London's West End

metro.co.uk

World-famous Blue Note Jazz Club is scheduled to open its first UK venue on London’s St Martin’s Lane on September 23, after over a year of planning. The New York club’s London branch faced police objections to its 1am closing time and a resident’s warning that departing jazz lovers could be vulnerable to crime. Operators said late hours are essential to function as a jazz club. The opening comes as London loses grassroots music venues; 30 closed in 2024 and 179 remain, with many needing emergency support.
