I love Vortex. Good value for some of the best music around. I am back there too often! There is now a pizzeria downstairs, Il Bacio, where there is good Sardinian food. If you go there before a gig, Vortex do an offer for £10.00.

I love Vortex. It's probably the only place in London where you can consistently hear good jazz at a reasonable price.

Vortex is more of a cafe bar than a venue but bands do play here from time to time. I've been to a few jazz nights at Vortex but nothing recently I'm afraid. I just may have to pay it a visit this month to see if it lives up to my memories of the place!
