Additional Comments:
The Archduke I like this place, good food, good atmosphere, and it's free to get in. They normally have duos playing as the stage isn't very big, but the music is no less entertaining.
Ronnie Scotts The oldest and most famous place in London. It has a good atmosphere and great music, be sure you book though. One of their they're regular bands is the John Chitchinson Quartet, they were a very good modern Jazz band. Ronnie Scotts also get many names from overseas coming through, although quite a few clubs do during the Jazz Festivals. Entrance Fee: Members Monday - Thursday £5, Friday & Saturday £9. Non-Members Monday - Thursday £15, Friday & Saturday £20. Students Monday - Thursday £9. MU Members Monday - Saturday £9.
Pizza Express The Pizza express on Dean street is the only pizza express that offers a jazz room. Entrance is £20 on Fridays, it's probably cheap during the week. The restaurant is quite nice, mainly pizza though. I didn't actually go down into the club, but I've heard they have good people playing.
Jazz Cafe Entrance normally is similar to the 606, although I went to see Tuck & Patti so tickets were more expensive. Okay atmosphere as a club/bar, mainly standing, although they get pretty good people coming in. The restaurant looked less run down than the inside of the club, and looked like a better place to be if you wanted to afford food, which judging my drink prices could be quite high. It's in Camden, very near the tube station.

The Club employs more than ten different bands a week, making it one of the largest club promoters of Jazz in Europe. There is no entry fee, instead the musicians are funded from a Music Charge which is added to the bill at the end of the night, these charges are currently £5.00/head Sunday - Thursday, £6.00/head Friday and Saturday.
