Default Sing-a-long pubs in London?

I will be visiting London in May. Is there is old-style, jazz,
nostalgia, dixieland or whatever-you-wanna-call-it "sing-a-long" pubs
left in London? If so, where are they?

Thanks
DDD

If you find one, let me know so I can avoid it :-)

My reaction was "I hope not".

Seriously, I don't think you'll find Londoners at such a pub, it would
all be tourists.

For a geniune London community feel, 21st century style, you want a quiz
night or karaoke.

This might be what you're looking for, but if not I'd recommend the pub
even for it's just selection of "proper" real ales:

Hell, I can get quiz night & karoke anywhere in the US or the world
for that matter. Pub songs are more fun than singing to a
Japanese-style version of "Miss American Pie" or pondering the answer
to "In what movie did Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid first appear
together?"

Give me the good ole 20th century anyday.
