World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens is a music venue located within the New Covent Garden Market complex.

The venue aims to provide a platform for diverse musical talent, with a particular focus on global sounds and cross-cultural collaborations. The space itself is designed to foster an intimate and immersive concert experience, utilizing repurposed shipping containers to create a unique architectural aesthetic. It has quickly become known for its high-quality sound system and commitment to showcasing both emerging and established artists from around the world.
