Ronnie Scott's was established in 1959 by saxophonists Ronnie Scott and Pete King, opening its doors on 39 Gerrard Street. In 1965, the club moved to its current home at 47 Frith Street. In its time, it's been graced by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Chet Baker.
The last time Ronnie Scott's hosted a street party like this was in 2019, marking its 60th anniversary, with around 5,000 people showing up. The jazz venue says 2025's street party "serves as a thank you to the thousands of members and customers who continue to support the club and keep it at the heart of London's live jazz scene."
Ronnie Scott's street party takes place on Frith Street, Soho, on Saturday 2 August, 11am-5pm. Free, just turn up.
