The 606 Club (also known as "The Six")[1] is a jazz club in Chelsea, London. Located in a basement venue at 90 Lots Road in London SW10 (opposite Lots Road Power Station) and currently licensed for 175 people,[1] it offers jazz, Latin, soul, R&B, blues and gospel music seven nights a week, and sometimes also on Sunday afternoons, making it one of the busiest jazz clubs in Europe.[2]

According to musician Steve Rubie, who has owned and run the club since 1976,[3][4] the club's history dates back to its emergence in the 1950s.[1][5]

Originally a small 30-seater venue at 606 King's Road,[1] the club moved to its current site in May 1988.[6]
