BS: Bluegrass music in LONDON ?

I will be visiting London on the 22/01/2020 for a few days, staying near Fulham Palace Road, and I am wondering if there is a pub or club anywhere in the city, where I might hear some Bluegrass music. I haven't been to the city for many years and the last time I did so I was able to take in a session with the great Pete Stanley, since deceased I am told. The pub where he was playing was, if memory serves, in the Holloway Road area, or perhaps a little further north, but I've forgotten the name at this stage (I'm 80 years of age now and this is something of a nostalgia trip that I was gifted.)
I would also love to pay a visit to Cecil Sharpe House while in London and am wondering what the opening hours are nowadays.
Maybe some kind mudcatter can help with some information please ?
