November in the UK capital might see the onset of winter, but it also provides that magical 10 days when some of the world’s most ingenious musical talent gathers for the EFG London Jazz Festival.
For more that 30 years, this event has been the major jazz festival in the UK capital, and it shows no sign of slowing down. This year will see more than 300 performances in venues across London.

History of the Festival
Created in 1992 by music producers, Serious, the London Jazz Festival flowed from the Camden Jazz Week that itself was started in 1970. EFG have been the title sponsors for 15 years. It has grown into being the leading jazz festival in London.
