Below Stone Nest: Pub in Soho, London
Below Stone Nest sits in Soho's network of basement rooms where the serious stuff happens. It's the kind of space that programmes live music across jazz, soul, and R&B, with the kind of intimacy you get when nobody's there to watch you watch. Soho's always been where musicians go to try things out, and this place keeps that thread running. The crowd here is after music, not performance. You'll find regulars who know the place inside out, which changes the whole feel of a room. It's the opposite of somewhere you go to be seen; it's somewhere you go to listen properly. The kind of venue that proves the best nights in London still happen underground.
