[1][2][3] Overlooking the river Thames, it was one of the first and most important jazz venues in Britain.

[8] In 1982, Dan Fleming took over the premises and the venue continued to flourish with its jazz roster.

Fleming added blues and rock acts to its listings, a policy which continues to this day.
