Come for a glass. Stay for the jazz. Make an afternoon of it.

Tucked away on Bunhill Row, just a short walk from Old Street, The Artillery Arms is a charming historic pub with roots stretching back to the early 19th century.

Once known as The Blue Anchor, the pub takes its present name from the nearby Honourable Artillery Company and sits opposite the historic Bunhill Fields burial ground.

Today, this traditional Fuller's pub retains much of its old London character, with rich wooden interiors, stained glass details, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels a world away from the busy streets nearby.

Known for its excellent selection of cask ales, wines, and classic pub drinks, The Artillery Arms is the kind of place where an afternoon can easily turn into an evening.

And with live jazz filling the room on Saturday afternoons, there's one more reason to make it part of your weekend.

This week's Sunset Jazz features two exciting musicians from London's contemporary jazz scene: guitarist Alfie Dean and saxophonist Elliot Wong.

Both Royal Academy of Music alumni, Alfie and Elliot bring a modern, expressive approach to jazz, combining melodic interplay, spontaneous improvisation, and a shared musical curiosity.

With performances and collaborations spanning Ronnie Scott's, the Royal Albert Hall, and international stages, the pair bring impressive musical experience into an intimate guitar-and-saxophone setting.

Expect thoughtful melodies, adventurous improvisation, and the kind of musical conversation that makes every performance unique.

Emerging Sounds is a London-based live music platform connecting exceptional musicians with distinctive venues across the city.

Founded by a touring jazz drummer, Emerging Sounds creates carefully curated, artist-first performances that give audiences more opportunities to discover great music in welcoming, accessible spaces.

Through Sunset Jazz, we're bringing some of London's most exciting jazz musicians into one of Old Street's most characterful pubs, creating a new way to enjoy live music without needing to plan an entire night around it.

Because sometimes all you need is a good drink, great music, and a couple of hours away from the everyday.
