Free lunchtime jazz in Victoria Embankment Gardens

You wait ages for a bandstand article and then two come along at once. This one is stolen straight from a friend, and your author has also noticed it featured on Londonist but it has been a feature of a number of sunny lunchtimes recently so it should definitely be shared.


The good people at Westminster Council have decided to put on free lunchtime concerts all summer, as they do every summer, in Embankment Gardens. The theme varies from Jazz to brass bands, and concerts are held every Tuesday and Thursday, with occasional extras on other days.

Best of all, concerts are free, and you can enjoy them from the comfort of a free deckchair twice a week between roughly 12.30pm and 2pm. For information on upcoming concerts, visit http://www.timeout.com/london/venue/3959/victoria_embankment_gardens.html
