London's hidden music venues

Summer in the City

It’s summer in London, and whether it’s a party in a multi-storey car park, or big screen movies under the stars, the city has so much to offer people who search for something a ‘little bit different.’

 
 

DEBUT continues to offer unique experiences in hidden venues - we love to discover beautiful, weird and interesting spaces, bring them alive, and make music.

 
 

A DEBUT concert in the Linbury Foyer at the Royal Opera House

The Linbury Foyer, Royal Opera House

We know what you’re thinking: And you’re right, The Royal Opera House isn’t really that hidden.

But head into the beautiful marble foyer space next to Covent Garden in the daytime, and you might just get a glimpse of a free performance.

There’s also a café, bar and roof terrace if you fancy a glass afterwards.

The terrace

Here’s a tip: come early before a show, or maybe even in the late morning, and enjoy panoramic views over Covent garden market. Get lost among the green plant life and relax on comfortable rattan furniture.

Young kids? Even better!

creative and fun-packed activities on Sundays for families with kids 10 and under. Look out online for more events this summer! Find out more.

 

We love The Multi-story Orchestra because like us, they perform in car parks and unexpected places - including this car park in Peckham!

The Multi-story Orchestra

Concert halls and opera houses are really stunning, but music doesn’t just have to stay inside. Push the boundaries this summer and experience some of the weird and wonderful performances on offer.

The Multi-Story Orchestra “bring together professional musicians and young people to create extraordinary performances, tell stories and unleash creativity.

…and they do it in some really cool venues!

The space

Take a look at Bold Tendencies, a non-profit supporting the arts in Peckham where the orchestra perform their regular events. Find out more.

 

DEBUT runs a monthly series at the Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe

“Wow. Wow. Wow. Utterly spine tingling concert at Brunel Museum last night by DEBUT. The acoustic was just mind blowing - it’s like a cathedral of Engineering. Would 10,000% recommend.”
