London’s Only Floating Jazz Club Opens for Summer
St. Katharine Docks, London | 17th July – 30th August

St. Kat’s Sessions, London’s only floating jazz club, opens for its summer season on Friday 17th July with six weeks of live jazz on the pontoon at St Katharine Docks.

After multiple sold-out shows, the popular series brings serious jazz credentials to the waterside estate with world-class musicians, Nyetimber on arrival, and an audience close enough to catch every nuance.

The opening night sees Natalie Williams, Judi Jackson, and Olivia Swann - artist in residence and fresh off her “Judy” single, take to the stage. They’ll be joined by Jamie Safir on piano and Flo Moore on upright bass. It’s the tone-setter for six weeks that ranges from contemporary jazz to classic standards, with artists flying in from the US and established UK voices.

Inspired by intimate jazz-club vibes, what makes the series work is the setting. There’s no stage-audience separation here and every guest feels part of the performance.

The lineup includes some serious names. Spilata makes a UK debut and exclusive premiere on 25 July and is set to be one of the standout performances of the season. Summer Camargo, fresh off performing on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, brings virtuosity and energy in equal measure. Sharlene Hector, award-winning and just off Hercules in the West End, effortlessly moves between jazz, soul, gospel and pop. Ian Shaw, one of Britain’s most respected jazz singers, combines masterful musicianship with humour and storytelling. Sarah King, Inés Nassara, and others fill out the calendar through August.

Each guest receives a complimentary glass of Nyetimber Classic Cuvee on arrival, with warm blankets for when the evening cools.

Perfect for laidback listening, the jazz club vibes of plush seating, low lighting, and proximity between performer and audience make the whole thing feel like you’ve stumbled into someone’s very sophisticated living room - except this one bobs gently on the Thames. Tickets are limited due to the pontoon’s strict capacity, though the venue’s layout guarantees excellent views and acoustics for everyone.
