Live from Kingly Court (Sounds of Summer)

Free live music through Soho this summer, broadcast from a three-storey dining courtyard. Soho Radio's the one picking the line-ups, which means you're getting soul, funk, reggae, hip-hop and jazz rather than one lane of sound. The courtyard works because you've got space and sightlines without the usual pub ceiling-staring.

This is made for turn-up-and-see-what's-on energy. No ticket stress, no fancy getting-there logistics. Kingly Court's one of those places you stumble through anyway, so catching live music there slots right into how you'd actually spend an evening in Soho. Works best if you're not fussed about knowing exactly who's playing before you show up.
