Book tickets in advance for well-known acts, as the best nights sell out; some shows are door sales only, so check each listing on the website. Tables close to the stage are the most sought after. Upstairs at Ronnie's offers a smaller programme of events. Allow time for a meal before the music starts, or come for the later show if you have already eaten in Soho. Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations are a few minutes' walk away.
