THE DRESS CODE AT CIRQUE LE SOIR
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. Cirque Le Sour recommends a smart, sexy, trendy look. Generally the men will be wearing smart casual clothes, such as button down shirts, long sleeve tops, and polos. Blue jeans and smart suit trousers are common, but other colours of jean are not. Men's jewellery is quite common. Long hair is usually tied back. Generally the women will be wearing sexy cocktail dresses with bold jewellery and statement pieces, high heels, loose hair, and glamorous make up. If you want to show off your figure, then choose two of the four options when it comes to revealing clothes: low cut, short skirt, exposed midriff, or bodycon. Any more and you might stand out. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. Smart and sexy for men includes: -two and three piece suits -blue jeans -button down shirts -polos -waistcoats -stylish sweaters -sports jackets -polished black or brown leather (or faux leather) shoes -cufflinks and watches Smart and sexy for women includes: -cocktail dresses -minidresses -two piece red carpet style outfits -heels up to 8" -elegant ballet flats What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. T-shirts are a grey area. Although the club discourages casual dress, sometimes t-shirts can be part of a smart and sexy look. That said, it is better to avoid them altogether than to take a risk. Men's headwear is a grey area. Generally it is actually accepted, but the door staff reserve the right to turn you away if they feel your hat doesn't work. Women's headwear, except for religious reasons, is not acceptable. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. No sportswear. Not just active sportswear, but anything that looks too sporty. Which includes converses and trainers. No beachy clothes. No sun dresses, sarongs, shorts, and especially no sandals or flip flops. No big bags or heavy coats. You can ask to check them into the cloakroom, but Cirque le Soir advises against coming with anything too bulky in the first place. No hiking style boots. Even as a fashion statement, they are just unacceptable.
THE DRESS CODE AT THE CUKCOO CLUB
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. The typical look at the Cuckoo Club is red carpet sexy. Although it is not a requirement, people tend to aim for the higher class items in the dress code. Generally the men at the Cuckoo Club dress very sharply, with two piece suits, collared shirts (with or without a tie), cufflinks, classic watches, polished leather shoes with matching belts, etc. Likewise, the ladies tend to aim for beautiful, sensual cocktail dresses, from the little black dress to sexy wrap dresses. Loose hair, simple jewellery, and sensual, natural make up are all ideal. Women here aim for the two out of four rule, wearing clothes that only have two of the following features: low cut, short skirt, bodycon, exposed midriff. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. Red carpet sexy for men includes: -fitted polos, long sleeve tops, and button down shirts -black and blue jeans -black and grey suit trousers, well fitted -suit jackets and sports jackets -polished black or brown leather (or faux leather) shoes Red carpet sexy for women includes: -cocktail dresses -minidresses -little black dress -sexy and elegant rompers -sexy two piece outfits -heeled shoes between 2" and 8" What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. The Cuckoo Club does not have many grey areas. Their dress code is purely strict no matter what the day is or who you are. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. No t-shirts. Absolutely no t-shirts. Avoid long sleeved shirts that do not have collars or buttons too. No distressed look clothes. Nothing torn, worn, stained, or painted. No sportswear. No active sportswear, but no fashion sportswear either. No leather or denim jackets, dresses, or trousers. No saggy or oversized clothes. Choose something small and fitted over something oversized. We are aiming for sexy and sensual. No big bags or winter coats. Take off big bags and winter coats at the door and check them into the cloakroom.

Kadies Club
Recommended
Rating: 4.33 out of 5 based on 3 Reviews
Kadies Club London is a stunning club located in the heart of Mayfair which, opened their doors with an extravagant opening night on the 7th of December 2017. Created by the people behind Maddox. As Maddox Club has been known for providing a lavish, exciting atmosphere for the past decade, we anticipate that Kadies London will also bring the same luxury, fun, and class. The music will put a beat in your chest, the drinks will be flowing, and fun will be had by all. This venue used to previously be Aristocrat, so if it looks familiar on the outside, don't be fooled. The mood is having a distinct shift into something much more modern and relaxed, a place where you can be yourself and have a great time with the latest music and the most fun people in London. No doubt Kadies will soon be attracting plenty of celebrity DJs to its dance floor, and many celebrity guests to its bar, just like Maddox before it! The environment looks like it was ripped straight out of a rap video, or a gangster film, I'm not going to lie. Sumptuous leather, shimmering golden décor, and abundant modern plants and glass features make you feel like you're in the home of London's elite, in their living room, in the middle of an extravagantly hedonistic house party. When the lights go down and the neon lights up you're going to be in the mood for fun, fun, fun, that's for sure. Kadies Club has become a place where celebrities come to no surprise. Kadies club has seen many celebrities. Not long ago, Idris Elba had his very own christmas party at the venue. The party pulled celebrities such as rapper Stormzy, and models such as Maya Jama to the venue. Kadies do not officially have a specific dress code, rather they want you to make an effort into wearing something creative and elaborate. Rather than posh the vibe here is style which could be anything from Rock n roll outfits to Gucci. So try out your own personal R&B or hip hop style, look edgy, look expensive, and see how it goes. Because there will be high demand to get in, we recommend avoiding the queue and booking your own table at Kadies Club, to keep the cocktails flowing and the dance moves going.
THE DRESS CODE AT KADIES CLUB
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. Although everyone here has their own style, the men generally wear t-shirts, button down shirts, or polos with dark jeans (blue, black, or grey). Men's jewellery is not uncommon, but jumpers and coats might look like a bit too much. The women also have their own styles. Generally they wear something that meets the rule of two, only showing off two of a short skirt, low neckline, bodycon shape, or exposed midriff, not three or four. So leave a little to the imagination, but otherwise there is too much diversity to spot a trend. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. Kadies Club doesn't have an official dress code. Quite simply, they want you to let your creativity shine and put together a luxurious, expensive look that suits whatever your personal style is, from hip hop to edgy and dark, from smart classic to sweet and sexy. That said, they want you to "dress for the occasion" and put some thought into your clothes. What does this mean? It means that if they have an R&B or hip hop night, then a street or sporty look is great, but if they have a gala night they might want you to dress up a bit more. Check out what events they have and try and dress for the event. What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. The only grey area is if you dress too formal. Which, at this young and trendy club, is definitely a thing. Avoid things like tuxedos or three piece suits unless you can put your own original twist on them. What is forbidden: At Kadies Club nothing is strictly forbidden, just some things don't suit the mood for the night. As mentioned: see what they have going on and dress for the event.

LIBERTINE If you remember 4 Winsley Street as Chinawhite Nighclub... where have you been?! In 2009 the venue was reopened under new management as Libertine London, a brand new London nightclub with an amazing atmosphere and an even more amazing guest list. What does the name even mean? What is a Libertine? A Libertine is someone who enjoys freedom, hedonism, and all the finer things in life. In that spirit, the creators of Chinawhite remodelled and restaffed their club to provide a most luxurious London nightclub experience. High tech, futuristic in a more realistic sense than sci-fi would have us believe, Libertine focuses on being the club of the future, the club where all your dreams and pleasures will come true. They promise a unique experience of luxury and fun. One of the biggest and best exclusive nightclubs in London, you will probably not get in by waiting outside the door. An ultra-modern club with three interlinked spaces, it boasts a molecular cocktail lounge named Reason & Mankind, an amazingly VIP private area out back, and plenty of space for dancing and mingling. Though you will have to ask about all the features, as secrets can be found all over Libertine Nightclub London, and not all of them are available to just anyone. See how far you can go. The interior is one of the most opulent in London, with custom-made oak tables, metallic upholstery and glowing multicolour lighting, all your senses will be overwhelmed. On one of the walls you will see a fifty foot screen projecting images and films for your entertainment. The concept is flawless, with a combined experience of inclusivity and exclusivity. Many less important clubs have been criticized for being racist or too strict about dress codes. Libertine turns that trend on its head, by admitting you based on your individual merits rather than your most superficial qualities. It doesn't matter what your race, sexuality, subculture, or background is, so long as you fit in with the beautiful, famous people who are hitting the dance floors. So long as you act like a VIP you will be treated as one. If you want to get an even higher class treatment, make sure to book yourself a table, or even book the whole London club. They will cater to your every need, whether you are booking for a private party, an afterparty, a product launch, or just to have the space all to yourself for a night. Expect first-class catering, expert staff, and, as the customer, to be always right. The atmosphere will really show who the life of the party is. On regular days you can expect to see regular performances from some of the world's most famous DJs and artists, as well as the possibility of running into well known celebrities, from actor Tom Cruise, to RnB artists, Premier League footballers, and models. Recent artists and celeb guests have included: Rihanna, Steve Aaoki, Kate Moss, Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora, Drake, Niall Horan, Jason Derulo, DJ Snake and Trey Songz to name a few. It's signature night of the week is Sunday clubbing London. But they are also open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays to welcome their elite guests. The Libertine Club's door policy is fairly strict, and it can be very hard, if not impossible, to get in on the night. So make sure to book in advance if you want to make it in.
WARNING: Guests who bought advance tickets have been refused entry without refund.
THE DRESS CODE AT LIBERTINE
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. The easiest way to sum up the general look at Libertine club is "little black dress". Women generally wear their LBDs, simple jewellery, loose hair, high heels, and glam make up. Doing your hair up and wearing some bolder jewellery is recommended for special events. Men generally wear button down white shirts (without coats or ties), smart suit trousers in black or grey, and polished black or brown leather (or faux leather) shoes. A coat and tie is recommended for special events. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. The Libertine Club does not enforce a formal dress code, preferring people to have freedom depending on how the night is playing out. That said, they have some requirements, which means there are limitations. Men are allowed: -button down shirts -polos -two piece suits -smart blue or black jeans -suit trousers in black, blue, or grey -polished leather (or faux leather) shoes Women are allowed: -pretty much any dress that isn't distressed-look -heeled shoes 2-6" high -most jewellery What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. Short sleeve shirts are a grey area. Although polos are allowed and shirts are allowed, sometimes the door staff are unimpressed by short sleeve shirts. Women's suits are a grey area. The venue prefers ladies to be in smart and sensual dresses, not in formal suits. Even skirt suits or suit dresses are questionable and best avoided. Sweaters are a grey area. Even though you can wear sweaters over a collared shirt, the look can sometimes miss the mark for Libertine Club. So it is best to go for a suit jacket instead of a sweater. Very sexy looks are a grey area too. Although dresses are recommended, aim for something that is not too revealing. If you leave a little to the imagination, all should be well. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. No t-shirts. Absolutely no t-shirts or even casual long-sleeve tops. No sportswear. Not even fashion statement pieces like brand name tracksuits or sports jerseys. No distressed look clothes. Nothing torn, stained, worn down, or anything or the sort. No leather except shoes. Not even jackets. No women's flats. Women must be in heels at this club. At the very least a 2" heel. No casual shoes. No converses, thigh-highs, timberlands, or anything that is not a formal shoe.

THE DRESS CODE AT MADDOX
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. For men, this generally means anything from a tuxedo to black jeans and a button down shirt, but no less formal. For women, this generally means cocktail dresses. Make up should be natural and classy. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. For men, feel free to get creative with them -collared shirts in sharp, bright colours like white or jewel tones -sweaters -sports jackets -black polished leather (or faux leather) shoes. For women the dress code includes: -cocktail dresses -little black dresses (little blue dresses if black isn't your colour) -smart dresses -suit dresses -two piece outfits -high heeled shoes -fine jewellery. What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. Women's flats is a grey area. Generally they will not be allowed. Exceptions may be made sometimes, but you really can't count on it. Polo shirts are a grey area. Sometimes they are allowed for less formal nights, but, again you can't rely on this. It is far better to choose a white button down shirt. Black jeans are a grey area. In theory they are allowed under the current dress code, but in reality the staff might think you are underdressed. So, when in doubt, go for smart suit trousers instead. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. No t-shirts. Absolutely none. No casual shoes. No trainers, converses, boots, flip flops, etc. Stick to the recommended shoes above. No blue or otherwise colourful jeans or trousers. Even if black jeans are a grey area, every other type of trouser is completely out of the question. Only black trousers, preferably suit ones. No sportswear. No tracksuits, running shoes, sports jerseys, football shirts, etc. Not even fashion statement pieces. No light, loose fitting, or oversized clothes. Sagging trousers, oversized shirts, t-shirt dresses, baggy jumpers, or anything or the likes are allowed. Again, stick to the list above. No heavy coats, large bags, or hats indoors. You might need a warm winter coat, a hat, or a big practical bag for travelling round London. But make sure to take them off and check them into the cloakroom when you arrive.

MNKY HSE, pronounced Monkey House, is a revolutionary restaurant, cocktail bar and event space in Mayfair. It lies behind a discreet entrance at Dover street and is home to a Latin American bar and restaurant like no other, being where the typical London West End party crowd spends the weekend. The concept inspiring the new Mayfair’s venue is bringing in the cultural spirit of Latin America but giving it a funk ‘British twist’. With a focus on sensory lighting and accessories Mnky Hse acts as the HSE’s living room, the perfect place to spend the evening socializing. It offers the perfect place to spend your evening with dim lighting, low-seating and stylish accessories. The atmosphere creates a sexual, edgy glow to the room with award winning mixologists on hand to conjure you up the right cocktail be it classical or experimental to fit your evening.
MNKY HSE is set on two floors with slightly different vibe. In fact, you access the venue through a famous discreet entrance. On the ground floor (the upstairs) you will find the luxurious bar and lounge area. The design is modern, sleek, intimate with lots of mirrors. Opposite, on the lower level (the downstairs) you will find the Lain-American restaurant. This is set as an open plan kitchen where master chef is Pablo Peñalosa Nájera. Pablo has fused together traditional elements of Latin American cooking with seasonal, British style ingredients.
Late in the night, the restaurant turns into a dancing space thanks to a special set up with removable long tables (which encourage communal eating), table hopping, and also adjustable seating. It's a new concept of an amazing restaurant that gradually turns into a happening club as the DJ gradually steps up the music. We like to call it a clubstaurant. A very new popular concept that removes the need to change venue after dinner. There is a bar at ground floor with great cocktails but this place is all about the downstairs where the fun is. You need to be very #clubbable to get in. The glamorous bar sets itself with the restaurant just next door making it the perfect place for after dinner drinks or to dance the way into early hours of the morning. Bar manager, Javier Ecribano makes sure that all his Mnky Hse cocktails are presented with a South-American twist even with the menu having its own Pisco and Mezcal sections. If you're looking for something easy to drink, the Jasmine Pisco-Sour slides down with a nice texture and comes served with love-heart embellished foam and a marshmallow. The house special Mnky Business is a known favorite based on an old fashion but using Peruvian-Rum. Definitely one to warm the insides but not in the way you think as its plunged into a -80 degrees pot, infused with smoke and poured over carved ice to be served in a Erlenmeyer flask.
If you want to make sure you get into Mnky Hse, dress to impress and never turn up in trainers or casual clothes.
We consider MNKY HSE one of the best bars to spend the weekend if you do not want to get too crazy with a proper nightclub. It is in fact the perfect place to meet and actually talk with gorgeous and wealthy people. With the laid-back ambient house music and the drinks list with a taste for everyone, Mnky Hse offers you the full experience of drinks , dinner and escapism all under the same roof.

An iconic two-storied venue, with luxe art-deco, styled interior, and unique space, for impressive events with a true wow factor, located on Northbank, directly under Waterloo Bridge. The glamorous Gatsby-Esque venue space is split over two floors with multiple enclosed banquettes making it ideal for large-scale or more intimate events, conferences, product launches, fashion shows, film premiere after-parties, and award ceremonies. Proud Embankment, the newly reconstructed and renovated club has returned to London's nightlife in May 2021 with a classy new touch. The venue has some of the UK’s grandest and most spectacular cabaret venues, founded by the club owner and entrepreneur Alex Proud himself.
The fine dining covers a wide array of options from a delicious pan Asian menu to bottomless brunch and amenities include full sound and lighting backlink plus production equipment throughout the venue. Impress your guests with the full cabaret show - and a grand double-height atrium capable of accommodating spectacular aerial performances, or simply hire the ground floor for a fabulous feast, with a carefully curated cocktail list. Proud Embankment has really expanded to cultivate the perfect dinner-cabaret experience. It combines elements of design from East and West. Once the staff clears the tables away, the venue explodes into a dazzling nightclub with late-night shows. It takes you into the early hours of the morning.
The venue itself is right underneath Waterloo Bridge by the river, a glamorous yet dark and mysterious interior, with a large dining space. An ideal chic location, perfectly aligning itself with the theme of the club. Proud Embankment’s VIP section has nightclub-style like no other, offering an exclusive entrance to clients who would like to book private tables with bottle services.
Proud Embankment is the only place in London where the perfect dinner and the best shows segue seamlessly into a decadent late-night party.

Proud Late is highly recognized for its iconic cabaret shows, such as exotic dancers, belly dancers, and many more theatricals. It has now approached a more VIP nightclub-style, similar to the famous The Box club, offering exclusive entrance to VIP clients that can book private tables with bottle service. An example of a proper show they have had is:
ACT 1 – kinky act
Missy’s Dom act, Jess & Charlie duo wax act, Sheila sisters cat act with milk…
ACT 2 – weird acts like hair suspension/ sword swallowing
Kat ponytail aerial, Missa Blue sword swallowing, and strip, Leah Debrincat belly dance with strobe lights…
ACT 3 – highest caliber, aerial fire
Von and Charlotte duo fire, Kat and Hugo duo aerial, DeuzAiles bondage aerial topless.
They will not grant you access if you don’t comply with the Proud Embankment dress code, so make sure you strictly adhere to their rules, as you have to dress to impress. Women in heels matched with a stylish outfit, with no flat shoes. Gents need a shirt with trousers with dark elegant shoes, any sort of trainers are not accepted, unfortunately.
Prepare yourself for the most bizarre adventures under one roof. It’s a life experience that will not be forgotten. If you’re looking to spice up your weekend, look no further than Proud Embankment.

THE DRESS CODE AT REIGN SHOWCLUB
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. As the name suggests, Reign Showclub's mood is pure royalty. Black tie, maybe black tie optional at the most casual. That means that most men will be in tuxedos or three piece suits, and most women will be in classic red carpet gowns, or at the very least their little black dresses. Men's hair should be combed and slicked or sprayed if mid-length and tied back if long. Women's hair can be down, but make sure to use plenty of clips and hair spray to keep your look neat, or else to go for an updo instead. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. Black tie for men includes: -tuxedo -three piece suit -bow tie -straight tie (in black or other muted colours) -collared, buttoned, starched shirt (in white) -shined black shoes in leather (or faux leather) -jewellery limited to watches, wedding rings, and cufflinks Black tie for women includes: -evening gown -red carpet gown -dress suit -little black dress or little blue dress -smart heels, 2"-6" high -shiny leather (or faux leather) smart kitten heels -fine and sparkly jewellery What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. Here the general mood is insanely upscale and classy, so the main grey area is smart casual. Officially, smart casual is the minimum you should aspire for when trying to get into Reign Showclub. In reality, if most people at the venue are wearing tuxedos and three piece suits, you might not be let in wearing a two piece business suit. So don't count on the night being more relaxed, cause you could show up underdressed. Make sure to put in as much effort as you can. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. At Reign Showclub their banned items list is pretty long, and if they turn you away, even if you go back and change, the staff might still not let you in that night. They have a very exclusive, elegant image to maintain. So make sure to avoid all these clothes if you want to get in. No streetwear. Nothing you could consider casual in any sense. No sportswear. No active sportswear, no fashion sportswear. Especially no trainers, t-shirts, etc. No alternative fashion. Gothic, punk, decora, etc, looks are not compatible with black tie or black tie optional. A colour theme such as "black and red" or "pastels" is fine, within reason, but over the top accessories will get you turned away. No women's flats. If you cannot wear heels, choose some nice leather, slightly masculine kitten heels for a polished look. No women's suits. Suit dresses are as far as you can go. No skirt suits and definitely no pant suits. No distressed look clothes. Just no. Nothing torn, worn, faded, painted, etc. No jeans. This falls under streetwear but it is important to note that not even smart looking black jeans are acceptable. No leather. Except for shoes, steer clear of leather. No leather jackets, trousers, dresses, etc. No bright suits. Men's suits must be in black or at least very dark blue or grey. Women's suit dresses can be in black, grey, or any deep jewel tone like Prussian blue, emerald, or burgundy. No men's jewellery. Watches, cufflinks, and wedding rings aside, assume no men's jewellery is allowed. Not even piercings. No bulky coats or bags indoors. Take them off before entering the venue and check them into the cloakroom. No hats indoors. Again, check them in at the cloakroom.
Tabu club London opened on Halloween week 2021 at the site of the previous celebrity hotspot Mahiki Mayfair on Dover Street. The club was founded by the team behind nearby Reign Showclub following their huge success in reinvigorating the London VIP club scene. Tabu London Nightclub brings you the best genuine Tokyo Nightlife experience in the heart of Mayfair. The club is set over 2 levels with each offering a different experience. Opening as a swanky cocktail lounge upstairs, this Japanese-styled bar will serve the best drinks in Mayfair, expect a relaxed atmosphere with house music that goes on until the early hours. Below, the nightclub will transport you into the back streets of Tokyo as you party in the underground world of Shinjuku. Designed like a back street alley, you will feel a million miles away from Dover Street and the sophistication you are used to.
The overall theme of Tabu takes its inspiration from the gritty, seedy backstreets of some of Asia’s most populous cities including Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul. At Tabu club London, you’ll feel transported to a far away continent and a completely unique world making your experience unforgettable. On entering the club, you’ll see neon Tabu logos lighting up the staircases as you go down to each level. There are neon street signs that hang from the walls and ceilings complementing the back street vibe. The walls of the venue are featured with an 8-bit design and a retro gaming theme with interactive LED imagery. Another unique feature is the bathrooms which are decked out in black and white Manga cartoons. Once on the main club floor, you’ll see metal caged areas behind which dancers perform.

TAPE If you love fun and great music, then Tape nightclub is the place you need to be. It is one of London's best nightclubs for music lovers, and is located strategically so that party goers and clubbers can enjoy loud music all through til 3am, allowing for plenty of drinking, dancing, and socializing. It is the liveliest party you will experience in a London nightclub. It boasts internationally famous DJs, both as regular and as feature acts, and regularly attracts celebrities in music, from singers to writers to record producers. You can expect to see many famous faces in this London celebrity club. The most obvious ones will of course be music stars, but rest assured that plenty of actors, actresses, and sports stars also frequent this hottest London club. The VIP guest list can be very difficult to get on, so it's recommended to book well in advance to make sure you have a place at Club Tape. Tables are very, very limited most nights and you may not get one if you do not book. VIP tables(view table map) are basically all out by the time the doors open. That said, it is not too difficult to get in at the door most nights, even if you do have to wait a while, so if you're not worried about a table, Tape might be a great stop for last minute planners. But don't feel like this club is going to be too elite and exclusive for you to make any friends. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, and as fellow music enthusiasts, the other party goers are bound to get along great with you. It's one of the best clubs in London to meet new people, make friends, and have a great night out, even if you are hitting the town alone. You can also bring your partner or your friends for a relaxed and fun night of dancing. The music is always ahead of the trends, boasting what is hot, new, and either exploding, or just about to explode. You will be ready for all the new tunes if you become a regular at the Tape Club. Of late the music is combining hip hop and pop, but it is flexible and changes depending on trends and tastes. Whatever you hear in Tape London will be hitting the charts, though, there's no doubt about that. Because of the astonishingly good setup, the music can be heard in every corner of the room, and the quality is just superb. If you need a great sound experience, look no further. The lights are also perfect: very flattering, not too harsh for sensitive eyes, and ideal for the music. Tape Club is a great place to book for a promotion or a product launch, as it attracts all the most energetic people and has all the best equipment for promoting your goods, whatever they are. There is a great spread of information among promoters and club guests, giving your product the kick start it deserves. Tape Club is definitely not a one night experience. Because of the fantastic variety of music and themes, you will want to stop by a few times to get a proper feel for the place, and if you are a local you may find that the Tape Club becomes your regular spot for a night of drinking, dancing, and fun. Many people find after just a night or two that they do not want to go to any other night club, because the mood and fun at Tape is just flawless. There is never a dull moment in Tape. Also, if you ever get invited to a mini club inside called Little Tape, then go for it. Experience of a lifetime.
THE DRESS CODE AT TAPE
Dress codes can be confusing, so let us help you with our detailed, visual guides! What is recommended: The recommended look is the best one not just to get you in, but to make you feel at home. Most of the people at London's Tape Club will be dressed stylishly, but only semi-formal. More of a celebrity chic night out look than a gala look. Men generally wear smart blue or black jeans, a collared shirt or a long sleeve fitted shirt, with a sweater or a smart sports jacket on top. Women generally wear a fashionable minidress or cocktail dress with heels, some simple jewellery, their hair down, and natural make up. The most common look is a sexy one, with a focus on black clothes with a little bit of sparkle. What is allowed: The allowed clothes are the full range of what will get you through the door. Semi-formal attire for men includes: -smart jeans in most colours -button down shirts (long or short sleeve) -polo shirts -sweaters -smart shoes (no trainers, sandals, or flip flops) Semi-formal attire for women includes: -sexy little dresses (including shirt dresses) -miniskirts -crop tops -strappy tops -sheer clothes -bare legs -any shoe with a heel 2"-10" tall What is a grey area: The grey area are clothes that might be allowed some days/events and not others, or that are at the discretion of door staff. In short, if you happen to be in the area, wearing these clothes and want to check the club out, then maybe see if you can. You might get lucky. But if you are actually planning a night here? Avoid these and go for something closer to the dress code. T-shirts are a grey area. Although sometimes people can be seen in the club wearing t-shirts, especially during events, most of the time these people wore a shirt over them. It is very hard to be allowed in whilst wearing a t-shirt, so even if you've seen it before, try and avoid them. Leather is a grey area. A nice leather jacket and leather or pleather miniskirts have been seen. But generally it is advised to keep leather for your shoes only. Mesh and fishnets are a grey area. Because this venue is modern and chic, not specifically urban, they discourage you from wearing mesh or fishnet fabric. Prints are a grey area. Generally the club prefers solid colours, especially blacks and dark colours, over printed patterns. What is forbidden: These clothes will get you turned away at the door, even if you are on the guest list, have a table with bottle service reserved, and it's your birthday. Sorry. No sportswear. No active sportswear, no trainers, no fashion statements like football shirts or baseball jackets. Nothing actually sporty. No beachwear. No bikinis, sarongs, sundresses, etc. No baggy or sagging clothes. Make sure the clothes you are wearing are fitted and comfortable and show off your figure. No coats or large bags indoors. The venue values space and comfort. When you are entering, take off large coats or bags and check them into the cloakroom.

The Windmill Soho
Rating: 4 out of 5 based on 1 Reviews
A world of theatrical dining in Soho, where there is no edge to the stage. Great Windmill Street took its name from a Windmill that once stood there in the 18th century. In 1909 the site became one of the first cinemas in London named ‘Palais De Luxe’. The Windmill brings a new definition to immersive theatre. This is ‘dinner and a show' for the here-and-now. Once a 320-seater theatre that hosted nude tableaux vivants and the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles, The Windmill was famously kept open throughout the Second World War by original proprietor Laura Henderson. The venue closed temporarily in 2018 and was reborn as The Windmill Soho, the venue opened its famous doors once again in July 2021. The 350-capacity venue features a main stage surrounded by a ground-floor dining area and overlooked by an upstairs bar that serves bespoke cocktails and food courtesy of their executive chef. You can book a theatrical dining experience, showcasing mesmerizing never-seen-before performances alongside an immersive dining menu designed by Michelin-starred Chef Andrew Mcleish and a creative cocktail list by celebrated mixologist Andy Mil. It’s dining in Soho as you’ve never seen it before.
The Show is curated exclusively for The Windmill. Featuring a variety of burlesque, magic, circus, comedy, and song. Along with spectacular immersive and digital theatre, you have to see it, to believe it! After the show, the lights dim down and the music turns up. There is no strict theme to the food at the main restaurant. Instead, familiar favourites with a good hit of luxury seem to be the order of the day. Lavish sashimi platters sit alongside indulgent offerings like Atilius Oscietra Caviar and fresh ceviche. Other combinations from the chef include tuna and black sesame tacos, truffle Parmesan taglioni, and crab spaghetti. Elsewhere there is whole grilled Dover sole, Wagyu beef sliders, and a roast rack of lamb to choose between. The dessert menu comes with a playful twist and offers up treats like white chocolate and vanilla lollipops with popping candy, proving sweet shop tricks aren’t just for the kids.
The cocktail list is themed around the history of the building and drinks feature extravagant garnishes and ingredients. Aside from the food and drinks, the main space is obviously a huge draw here, and guests are treated to interiors decked out in deep purples, blues and reds. You can expect art deco-inspired touches as well as the use of high-end materials like gilding and velvet fabrics for a nod to a bygone era.
Set across three floors the newly revamped venue will feature The Theatre, which will act as the main restaurant, The Palais De Luxe, a grand upstairs bar, and The Royal Box, a sumptuous private room. Outside, of course, The Windmill’s recognizable neon sign will continue to tower over the street.
In regards to the dress code, we ask that guests are smartly dressed in no sportswear or hoodies. They do not allow fancy dress! Casual wear is best!
