    Surely you should be at the crawl, instead?

    I know it's a matter of taste...... but I don't consider there can possibly be a GOOD jazz pub. And before you question the quality of my taste, just remember that there are only two types of taste...... bad & mine.

    M3.... still making a splash. (But for how long?)

    Try looking in Time Out London alternatively Ronnie Scott's club -- Smokin'.
    There's no chip on my shoulder. I'll tell you what there is though, three pips and don't you forget it.

    Ronnie Scotts is the stereo typical one but is very expensive and rammed with people.
    There is a Pizza Express in Soho that has a jazz bar in it so scoff and music at the same time.
    Try Smolensky's On The Strand as they used to have a jazz bar in the basement

    Your best bets Soho with the previously mentioned Pizza Express Jazz Club, Ronnie Scotts and "Jazz After Dark" on Greek Street.

    Isn't there another Pizza Express that has jazz near to Hyde PArk?

    Jazz Cafe, The Parkway, Camden Town can be good.
