LIVE MUSIC PUB
The Troubadour
On Old Brompton Road, The Troubadour is part café, part club, and part legend. Opened in 1954, it became a stage for Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Paul Simon during the folk and rock boom of the 1960s. Today, the basement venue continues to host live music nightly, from folk and blues to acoustic rock, while the upstairs café serves as a relaxed pre-gig hangout.
The space feels unchanged in the best way — brick walls, posters layered with history, a slightly bohemian air. Audiences are close to the performers, and the energy is communal, as if everyone shares in the story being told. For those who want to touch a piece of music history without leaving West London, The Troubadour is unmatched.
