Downstairs At 180
££££•Spanish•5(21)Tucked beneath the surface, Downstairs at 180 has evolved into one of London’s most quietly compelling jazz rooms. A family-run space at its core, it carries a sense of care and continuity you can feel the moment you step inside. This isn’t music as background, but as the reason you’re there.
As well as a speakeasy cocktail bar, it’s a listening room at heart. Live jazz sits at the centre of the experience: stripped-back and intimate. Each performance feels close enough to touch; musicians trading phrases just feet away, the room breathing with them. Between sets, the carefully curated music carries the same intention, blending deep cuts with timeless records that shape the club’s identity.
Come an join us for cocktails, the best sharing platesin London and great jazz.
Please note we have live jazz performances on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 8pm to 10/11pm.Franks Canteen

- WWillLondon •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe Parakeet has fast become a "go to" for dining aficionados who know the difference between good and great. The setting has that sudden contrast of the chaos of a popular bar, and the quality fine dining experience. Our waitress was outstanding, knowing when to break up a conversation to progress orders (a rare skill in London) and the steak was next level - beyond anything I've tried before in the city. They've worked hard to get The Parakeet to where it now sits — on top of the mountain of fine dining in London. Well deserved, they've earned it.More infoThe Parakeet££££• Gastro Pub• Kentish Town•4.6
