Hey scenesters! 10 homes for sale in London's music hotspots, from New Cross to Camden (yes, still)

Anyone who has ever found themselves rooted in place post-Wembley gig – good luck, Taylor Swift ticketholders – will surely extoll the virtues of living near a venue.

And with London’s live music scene under constant threat from landlord disputes, energy costs and NIMBY noise complaints, our arenas, halls and pub back rooms are more precious than ever.

It pays to be a neighbour, even if visits are few and far between. Venues tend to create their own ecosystem, from pubs sustained by pre-giggers to a healthy street food scene buoyed by the late crowds.

Like the idea of a smug stroll home? We’ve found ten of the best properties for sale in London’s music hotspots, where much-loved venues big and small would be on your doorstep.
