As Leonard Bernstein said: “Life without music is unthinkable”. Luckily, in London, where the very idea of the concert was first born (violinist John Banister started giving performances to the public at his Whitefriars home in 1672), one is never too far from a music hall, opera house, theatre, or performance space. Whether your taste be for classical, jazz, pop, or rock, let me show you some of London’s best and most historic musical venues, from the West End to the East End via the South Bank.
