Literary in London

Frith Street's 1959 jazz room — the canonical London jazz club, two sets a night, low ceiling, red lamps

Dean Street's no-music, no-mobiles holdout — the Soho the audience first read about in the 80s

Wentworth Street's unmarked basement — the City fringe speakeasy that does not need a velvet rope

Greek Street's 1871 patisserie — London's oldest French pastry shop, still hand-laminated upstairs
