2026 Battersea Jazz Festival
Thank you so much to all of the more than 1000 people who came to support the 2026 Battersea Jazz Festival, which ran from the 3rd-13th June. From “Romeo and Juliet in Swing” at the Clapham Grand, to hosting US jazz legend Scott Hamilton at St Mary’s Church, to our sold out closing party at Battersea Barge, the entire event was a joyous celebration of jazz from start to finish. Planning is already underway for 2027: Watch this space!
Do keep in touch with us via the newsletter or keep your eye on this page, as there will be regular updates about other gigs throughout the year, including the next season of the St Mary’s Jazz Evenings, and the return of the Thursday night gigs at the Landor pub once summer is over.
Jazz at the Landor
The Thursday night jazz at the Landor has been a fantastic part of our year-round programme, featuring some of the finest musicians in world jazz each week. We are on a break for summer at the moment but check this page for updates about when we get going again. The gigs are be hosted by pianist and singer Hugo Jennings; Founder and Director of the Battersea Jazz Festival.
This wonderful pub in Clapham has hosted five Battersea Jazz Festival gigs in the upstairs Landor Space since 2023, and has had live jazz events downstairs since September 2024 leading into the new weekly Thursday dates. The gigs are always extremely fun and atmospheric occasions, and the pub has fantastic food and drinks offerings, as well as plenty of space for people to enjoy the music, and even some space for dancing.
Entry is free, and music lovers are encouraged to come to support this burgeoning asset to the London jazz scene.

The Battersea Jazz Festival 2025
The 2025 Battersea Jazz Festival ran from Thursday 3rd July – Saturday 12th July, with a launch party at Pizza Express Dean Street on Monday 30th June. We welcomed some of the most established names in British jazz, precocious young talent, as well as international talent including Gabrielle Stravelli and Pat O’Leary from New York, and Daniele Gorgone and Carlo Bavetta from Italy, and hosted yet another special event at the historic Clapham Grand, as an audience over 300 enjoyed an incredible performance of the Duke Ellington Sacred Concerts from the South London Jazz Orchestra and a huge choir featuring members of London Sings!, Thames Philharmonic, and St Mary’s Battersea.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support a very special few weeks of live jazz, to the incredible musicians who performed, and to our wonderful volunteer team.
We look forward to making more memories across Battersea, Wandsworth, and wider London.
We would like to thank our 2025 sponsors, Battersea Power Station, Wandsworth Council, and John Runge Charitable Trust, for their support of this year’s festival. These contributions play an important role in helping us achieve our goals and create a meaningful experience for the community.
