Private clubs are usually elite and sometimes funky locations that cater to members only, including country clubs and smoking clubs, but they also double as exclusive private hire venues where you can have very cool celebrations in style. While the different types of members only clubs in London do have different restrictions on the type of event you can host, there are enough options that you can find a club suited to your event where the decorations and themes you want to have will shine. Much like private clubs visited by the ancient Greeks, you’ll find that the ambience of a high society event provides an experience unlike anything else in town.
The Hospital Club
The Hospital Club is a hugely versatile offering, with spaces available for hire that include bars, lounges, a restaurant, a screening room, a gallery, not to mention having all the latest state-of-the-art music and TV production facilities onsite. These various different spaces all under one roof mean that the venue can cater to almost any whim, be it a small conference room for an intimate gathering of just 8 people, right up to a reception for as many as 300. No matter the scale of your event however, the team promise to bring the same amount of passion and energy to guarantee a memorable occasion for all.
Century
Being discreetly tucked away on Shaftsbury Avenue, Century may seem somewhat unassuming upon first glance, but it is certainly not a venue to be overlooked, being one of Soho’s very best hidden gems. With no less than 5 floors on offer, spaces include a cocktail lounge, a restaurant, a screening room, a meeting room, and perhaps best of all: the largest rooftop terrace in all of Soho. With almost any event type able to be held here, from a corporate meeting to a private wedding, receptions can be put on for as many as 200 guests, making this a practical and versatile choice.
The Sky Bar St. Paul’s
Featuring the best views of St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Sky Bar is a private luxury club that sits at the penthouse level. It features a lovely rooftop area with stunning vistas of the cathedral, and comfortably hosts up to 200 guests. Additionally the adjacent Royal Suite can also be hired, providing more than 22,500 square feet of breathtaking event space. There are comfortable sofas, and the roof is fully retractable, meaning you can enjoy the space regardless of the weather. Additionally there are on site facilities for both food and beverage, or you can arrange your own off site catering to suit the needs of any themed corporate or private event. The only limitation to the space is that they don’t allow DJs, as it’s a private club and not a music venue. Steps from Blackfriars, Mansion House, and St. Paul’s, it also offers plenty of transport options.
