London coffee houses have ever since been centres of culture and music. The Earl’s Court area saw a particular concentration of those, the most famous of which was and still is the Troubadour. A historic café, club, and live music venue since it opened its doors back in the year 1954.
As a west London institution, it was one of the centres of the capital's intellectual and artistic life in the 50s and 60s.
This is where Bob Dylan performed his first time in London. Charlie Watts, Elvis Costello, Sammy Davis Jr., and Jimi Hendrix have all played here. Also legendary Led Zeppelin used to come and jam here after their nearby gigs.
In the past years, the club has had many now famous faces on its larger, well-lit stage including such names as Adele or Ed Sheeran, while focussing on Jazz genre.
