ESTHER BENNETT AT THE RED HOUSE

THE RED HOUSE: A hidden grade II listed gem in the heart of Forest Gate

Step back in time to the Catholic Club’s red-carpet cocoon and find sanctuary with the local jazz cats

St Anthony’s Catholic Club – known as The Red House because of its red brick façade – was founded in 1907 as a social meeting place for members of Forest Gate’s Catholic community.

Over the past 100 years or so it has adapted and reinvented itself to keep up with the times and the changing face of Forest Gate. Today, it’s a modern and eclectic events and community space for locals and visitors.

“Many of our musicians play at renowned venues like Ronnie Scotts, so I consider myself very lucky to be able to book such talent and see them in such a relaxed setting.’

And not only will you see some of the best jazz musicians in the country play to a small crowd in an informal setting for £3, you’ll inevitably end up chatting to someone interesting from the local community.
