About Green Note

Green Note is a 65-capacity Camden Town listening room where music runs seven nights a week. Its defining proposition is scale: a main room for folk, roots and acoustic bills sits alongside a 25-capacity basement for miniature shows. The close quarters suit song-led sets, instrumental interplay and artists who benefit from a room attentive enough to catch the details. For audiences, this is a venue geared toward proximity, with the performer never far from the tables or standing space.

A café-bar built around the stage

Two school friends, Immy and Risa, opened Green Note in the summer of 2005 after years of planning a London place for music they loved. The original operation combined a vegetarian restaurant with concerts. In a City Hall guide, the owners recalled diners talking through sets while food service interrupted performances, prompting a shift toward a music-first model with vegetarian bar snacks in place of a full restaurant. That choice explains the venue’s present focus: a café-bar whose activity centres on the performance. The same guide, published in 2019, recorded 350-plus events each year, a 65-person capacity and a 12-person part-time team, capturing the busy grassroots format developed in its early years.

The room on show night

Green Note presents local and touring artists, with folk, Americana, country, bluegrass, blues, roots, world music, jazz and singer-songwriters at the centre of the programme. The main venue mixes seating and standing room; tables and chairs run first-come, first-served, so early arrival carries real value for anyone seeking a seat. A fully stocked bar serves wines, beers and cocktails alongside teas, coffees, juices and vegetarian snacks. Basement shows use a smaller 25-capacity room reached via a steep staircase.
