A place to hear good music

World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens is a new music venue in the bustling Battersea Power Station & Nine Elms development, in Vauxhall.

Our live music programme offers a showcase of the worlds of jazz, contemporary, classical, folk, and much more, and has internationally recognised musicians, as well as gigs from artists in the London jazz scene.

Our stunning contemporary auditorium seats 120 in luxurious hand-made chairs; the intimate size and layout giving our audiences unparalleled access to the artists. The immersive d&b SoundScape system is one of a handful in the country; and was developed with Brian Eno and Bjork.

Probably the best live sound I’ve experienced

(The Wire)

It’s a rare treat to hear artistry quite so close up. The sound is so clear and immediate; you could sometimes almost be inside the piano.

What’s On

Our vibrant and welcoming café offers a wide range of hot and cold drinks to suit all tastes.

Situated just metres from the US Embassy, we also offer a storage facility for laptops and liquids (items which the Embassy won’t allow to be taken in).

A gorgeous little oasis in the bustle of the city. The coffee and pastries are A+ and the staff are INCREDIBLE!

On evenings when the venue has live music, the space opens as a bar, both for concert-goers and local residents, serving beers, wines, soft drinks and light snacks.

Café Info

Our recording studio is one of the largest in London, and has already been used by Adam F, John Metcalfe, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Labi Siffre, Branford Marsalis, Quinn Oulton and more.

World Heart Beat secures its place at the top of my list for studios to work and record in. 

Adam F, artist & producer

With two sound booths, a large control room and sightline access from all of these into our auditorium, the studio is ideal for anyone in the music business to hire.
