One of the most important things for any pianist is regular, preferably daily, practice. But if you live in a small flat, or you don’t yet have a piano of your own, you may not have a suitable piano practice room.
Fortunately, there are a range of piano practice rooms around London that you can book by the hour. So whether you want to practise on a grand piano instead of your usual electric piano, need a space to rehearse with your jazz or rock band, or just need a quiet place to practise, there are plenty of options available.
