Denmark Street Songwriters Retreat 2025

The inaugural Denmark Street Songwriters Retreat will honour Denmark Street London's legacy of inspiring and cultivating songwriters - reflecting the heritage of "Tin Pan Alley” as the home of British music.

This week-long retreat beginning Mon 24th March will see attendees breaking into small groups to collaborate in the creative process of songwriting. Each evening the groups will perform a song share in different locations on Denmark Street.

The best songs from the week will be performed at a free final night concert at St Giles-in-the-Fields on Thursday 27th March.

The Return of Songwriting to Denmark Street

Retreat curator is Beth Nielsen Chapman who is a two-time Grammy Award nominee and has written multiple hits for country and pop artists including Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Michael McDonald, Amy Grant, Keb Mo’, Roberta Flack, and many more.  Her Mega-hit “This Kiss,” was ASCAP’S 1999 Song Of The Year and she received Nashville NAMMY’S 1999 Songwriter of the Year. In 2016 Beth was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

Relighting the beacon

As part of Outernet London, Denmark Street has benefited from the restoration of its most iconic shops, new live venues such as HERE and The Lower Third, and bars including Thirteen and Dram. Increased footfall from the Elizabeth Line via The Now Arcade, combined with the fame of Outernet has placed the iconic street and its community back on the map.

Chateau Denmark

Chateau Denmark boldly embraces creative expression; the best loved sentiment of Denmark Street. With 55 session rooms and apartments, Chateau brings a unique playfulness to modern hospitality and captures the lost art of escapism.
