Mr Scott might have
died a few years ago, but this Soho staple, started by Scott and Pete
King some 40 years ago, is still going as strong as ever. The lights
are low and the drinks are pricey, but the jazz is of the highest
quality (acts play here for at least a week at a time). Be warned: the
many expense-accounters who are drawn to the place for its fame do have
a tendency to talk the whole way through.
