Mayfair Club Prices: What to Expect
Table bookings in Mayfair work on a minimum spend model. The amount you commit is not a fee or a cover charge. It is your drinks budget. You choose bottles from the menu and your personal waitress serves them to your table all night. Mixers, ice, and garnishes are always included.
As a general rule, budget £150 to £250 per person for a standard floor table, or £250 to £400 per person for a VIP table. Groups of six to eight people per table tend to get the best value.

Mayfair Dress Code: What to Wear

- +Jackets encouraged at Tape London and Maddox

No. 03: The week
Best Nights to Go Out in Mayfair
Each night of the week has a different character in Mayfair. The best night for you depends on your budget, how busy you want the club to be, and which venues are open.
Saturday: The Main Event
Every Mayfair club is open and at its busiest. The atmosphere is at its peak, the crowds are largest, and the minimum spends are at their highest. Saturday is the night for groups who want the full Mayfair experience and do not mind paying the premium. Book early: VIP tables sell out weeks in advance for Saturdays.
Friday: The Sweet Spot
All venues open with strong crowds and a slightly more relaxed atmosphere than Saturday. Minimum spends are typically lower and tables are easier to secure. Friday is the best night for groups who want a proper Mayfair experience without the Saturday price premium. Tape London is particularly strong on Fridays.
Thursday: The Insider Night
Available at Selene, Dear Darling, Maddox, Scotch of St James, 99 Regent Street and Rumour. Thursdays attract a local, regular crowd and the atmosphere at the best venues is genuinely excellent. Minimum spends are the lowest of the weekend stretch and VIP availability is strong. If you know the Mayfair scene, Thursday is when the regulars go out.
Wednesday: Early Week Option
Available at Cirque Le Soir, The Box, 99 Regent Street (one floor midweek) and Rumour. Midweek nights offer the lowest prices and a more intimate atmosphere. These are excellent for smaller groups or couples who want a quieter Mayfair experience.
No. 04: The clubs
Every Mayfair Club: Quick Guide
Here is every club in and around Mayfair we work with, what makes each one different, and who each venue is best suited for.
Cirque Le Soir
Soho (minutes from Mayfair) · Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday · Hip-Hop
Floor £800
VIP £2,000
Cirque Le Soir is London's original circus-themed nightclub on Ganton Street, Soho: a favourite of A-list celebrities and anyone looking for a night that goes beyond a standard club. Fire breathers, contortionists, stilt walkers and sword swallowers perform throughout the night while you drink from your table. It's loud, it's outrageous, and there's genuinely nothing else like it in London.
Best for: Birthdays, special occasions, and anyone who wants a night they'll actually remember. If you've done the standard Mayfair club and want something completely different, this is it.
Tape London
Mayfair · Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday · Hip-Hop
Floor £750
VIP: on request
Tape London on Hanover Square is one of Mayfair's most exclusive late-night venues: a members' club with a recording-studio-inspired interior that attracts music industry heavyweights, celebrities, and serious nightlife connoisseurs. This isn't a high-volume superclub. It's intimate, dark, and deliberately hard to get into.
Best for: Groups who want exclusivity over spectacle. If you've done the big Mayfair clubs and want something more private, more curated, and genuinely exclusive, Tape is the move.
99 Regent Street
Mayfair · Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday · Open-format Hip-Hop and RnB upstairs
Floor £600
VIP: on request
99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club) is a two-floor Mayfair club at the Piccadilly Circus end of Regent Street, entered on Swallow Street. The upstairs main room plays open-format hip-hop and RnB, downstairs plays house, and tables start from £600 minimum spend with entry for your whole group included. It opens Wednesday to Saturday, 11pm to 4am.
Best for: Mixed groups who want two sounds under one roof, birthdays, and anyone who wants a Mayfair table from £600 with entry for everyone included.
Maddox
Mayfair · Thursday, Friday, Saturday · House
Floor £1,000
VIP £2,000
Maddox is a restaurant-nightclub hybrid in the heart of Mayfair that does both genuinely well. Start with Italian fine dining, then stay as the venue transforms into a club with house music and a well-dressed crowd. It's the best option if you want dinner and clubbing in one venue without compromising on either.
Best for: Groups who want dinner and clubbing in one place. Corporate entertaining, anniversaries, date nights, or anyone who prefers a more polished, house-music-focused night out.
Rumour
Mayfair · Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday · Open format
Floor £1,000
VIP: on request
Rumour (formerly Tabu) is an intimate Mayfair club at 1 Dover Street: one room of around 200, built around deep red velvet booths, where no photos or video are allowed on the dance floor. Booths start from £1,000 minimum spend with entry for the whole group, and it opens Wednesday to Saturday, 11pm to 4am.
Best for: Groups who want a dressed-up night in a small room where nobody is filming. Men and mixed groups book a booth, since the guestlist is for ladies only.
London Reign
Piccadilly · Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday · Mixed: commercial
Floor £800
VIP: on request
London Reign on Piccadilly is a full-scale showclub: think aerial performers, dancers, live vocalists, and production values that rival a West End show. If Cirque Le Soir is theatrical, Reign is the full Broadway production. It's London's answer to the big Las Vegas nightclub experience.
Best for: Groups who want a spectacle. Major birthdays, hen parties that want something upscale, tourists experiencing London nightlife, and anyone who's been to standard clubs and wants something bigger.
Selene London
Fitzrovia · Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday · Hip-Hop
Floor £800
VIP £2,000
Selene London, in Fitzrovia near Oxford Circus, is one of the West End's newest additions: a multi-room venue that combines a proper nightclub with private bowling lanes and multiple distinct spaces. It's built for groups who want options, variety, and a night that goes beyond sitting at a table in one room.
Best for: Groups who want variety and options. Birthdays where you want an activity element, corporate groups who need an icebreaker, or anyone who gets bored sitting at one table all night.
Dear Darling Mayfair
St James's · Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday · Hip-Hop
Floor £800
VIP £2,000
Dear Darling is one of St James's newer nightlife additions: a stylish, design-led venue that combines a strong cocktail bar with a proper late-night club atmosphere. It's attracted a well-dressed, savvy crowd since opening and has quickly established itself as a serious contender on the Mayfair and St James's circuit.
Best for: Groups who want a stylish, well-designed night out with good music. People who've outgrown the bigger clubs but still want energy. Date nights that transition into a late night.

Mayfair Table Booking FAQs
How much does a table cost in Mayfair?
Most clubs in and around Mayfair start at £1,000 minimum spend for a standard floor table. This includes Maddox and Rumour (formerly Tabu), whose booths start from £1,000. Some start lower: 99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club) from £600, Tape London from £750, and Selene London, London Reign and Dear Darling Mayfair from £800. VIP tables across Mayfair range from £2,000 to £3,000. Prices can increase on peak nights, for special events, and during holiday periods.
What is the dress code for Mayfair nightclubs?
Mayfair clubs enforce a smart dress code. For men: collared shirt, smart trousers or dark jeans, smart shoes: no trainers, no sportswear, no shorts. Jackets are encouraged at more exclusive venues like Tape London and Maddox. For women: cocktail dresses, heels or smart boots, stylish separates. The door staff at Mayfair clubs are selective, so if you are unsure, overdress.
What is the best night to go to a Mayfair club?
Saturday is the biggest night at every Mayfair club: the fullest crowds, highest energy, and highest minimum spends. Friday is excellent across all venues with slightly lower prices. Thursday is a strong option at Selene and Dear Darling. Wednesday is available at Cirque Le Soir, The Box, 99 Regent Street and Rumour, with the lowest minimum spends. For value, midweek nights offer a comparable experience at reduced minimums.
How do I book a table in Mayfair?
The simplest way is to message us on WhatsApp. We have direct relationships with every Mayfair club and can secure tables quickly, often same-day for midweek bookings. Tell us which club you prefer (or ask for a recommendation), your date, group size, and any special requests. We confirm everything with the venue and you pay nothing to us: the only cost is the minimum spend at the club on the night.
Do Mayfair clubs have a minimum spend?
Yes. Every Mayfair club operates on a minimum spend model for table bookings. This is not a cover charge or fee. It is the amount you commit to spending on drinks at your table. A £1,000 minimum means you choose £1,000 worth of bottles from the menu. Your personal waitress helps you select bottles within budget. Mixers, ice, and garnishes are included in the bottle prices.
Can I get into a Mayfair club without a table booking?
Some Mayfair clubs offer guestlist entry, but most do not guarantee walk-in access, especially on weekends. Tape London is extremely difficult to enter without a booking, and The Box doesn't run a guestlist: entry is by table booking. Some other clubs occasionally accept walk-ins early in the evening, but there is no guarantee. A table booking gives you guaranteed entry, a reserved space, and a personal waitress. It is the reliable way to experience Mayfair nightlife.
Which Mayfair club is best for a birthday celebration?
For theatrical birthday celebrations, Cirque Le Soir's circus performers and Soho location make it the most memorable option. Near Oxford Circus, Selene London's bowling lanes add an activity element that works brilliantly for birthday groups. Most clubs can arrange cakes, sparklers, and birthday announcements: let us know when you book and we coordinate everything.
