Circus-themed celebrity hotspot on Ganton Street. Known for outrageous entertainment, fire-breathers, and performers. Hip-hop & RnB. Tables from £800.

Soho · Closes 4:00am
Theatrical nightclub in Soho known for boundary-pushing performances and an anything-goes atmosphere. Tables from £1,000.

Exclusive historic club in St James's with a legendary past dating back to the 1960s. Elegant parties in an intimate setting. Tables from £1,000.
Insider tip
Ask about the venue's history when you visit: the staff know the stories and the Hendrix connection is genuine. Thursday nights tend to be more intimate and musically eclectic.
Piccadilly · Closes 4:00am
Extravagant showclub on Piccadilly. Aerial acts, performances, and a full dining experience. Tables from £800.
Insider tip
Book the dinner-and-club package for the full experience. Arrive early enough for the show: the aerial acts during dinner are the highlight, and you'll miss them if you arrive at midnight.
Mayfair · Closes 6:00am
Restaurant and nightclub hybrid in Mayfair. Italian cuisine followed by house music clubbing. Tables from £1,000.
Insider tip

St James's · Closes 6:00am
Opulent St James's cocktail bar with chandeliers and velvet booths. Premium cocktails with late-night clubbing. Tables from £800.

Arrive at 9pm for cocktails when the venue is at its most atmospheric. The transition to late-night happens gradually. Enjoy the evolution rather than arriving at midnight.
Fitzrovia · Closes 4:00am
Sophisticated Fitzrovia venue just north of Oxford Circus, offering premium cocktails and late-night clubbing in an elegant setting. Tables from £800.
Insider tip
Arrive early enough to experience the cocktail bar phase: the drinks are excellent and the atmosphere during the transition to club mode is Selene at its best. Thursday is the most intimate night.
Fitzrovia · Closes 6:00am
After-hours house music club at 48 Margaret Street, open 1am to 6am. Entry by table booking from £1,000: no guestlist, no tickets.
Insider tip
The doors are at 1am, so there is no reason to arrive early. Book the table first, plan dinner or a bar, and keep your photo ID with you.
Elephant & Castle · Closes 6:00am (sometimes later for special events)
Iconic South London superclub in Elephant & Castle. Multiple rooms, world-class sound, house and techno. Tables from £1,000.
Insider tip
Buy tickets in advance for headline events. They sell out. Arrive by midnight to avoid the longest queues. Spend time in the smaller rooms too: some of the best sets happen away from the main stage.
Making the Most of Your Night
Practical advice from promoters who know the scene.
The best way to experience any of these clubs is with a table booking. Every venue will welcome you with a table reservation, giving you a reserved space, dedicated service, and bottles for your group. For most clubs, tables start from £1,000.
Guestlist is an excellent free alternative. Contact us on WhatsApp and we will submit your names to any venue that runs one. Guestlist works well at most clubs and gives you priority consideration at the door. The Box runs no guestlist (entry is by table booking), and the Scotch of St James is walk-in at the door with no guestlist.
Group composition matters at Mayfair clubs. Mixed groups with a good ratio of women to men have the best experience. All-female groups are welcomed everywhere. If your group is all male, a table booking is the simplest route.
Dress smart and stylish. Smart shoes, well-fitted clothing, and a considered outfit are the baseline. When in doubt, overdress rather than underdress.
