The London Cabaret Club: What to Expect on a Glamorous Night Out

If your idea of a perfect night mixes dinner, a show and a dance floor, the London Cabaret Club is built for exactly that. It is one of the city’s most polished immersive nights, and it has a loyal following for good reason.

What it is

The London Cabaret Club is a dinner-and-show cabaret that leans hard into old-school glamour. Think Roaring Twenties styling, sharp choreography, live vocals, aerial and dance numbers, and themed productions that change through the year. You are seated for dinner while the show plays out around you, and the evening usually rolls on into music and dancing once the performance wraps.

What to expect on the night

It is a proper occasion rather than a casual drop-in. Tickets usually come in tiers, from show-and-drinks up to full dining packages with the best seats in the house. The crowd dresses to match the theme, so this is your excuse to go all out. It is tasteful and theatrical rather than risque, which makes it a safe bet for a date, a birthday or a group celebration.

How it compares

If the London Cabaret Club is the glamorous, choreographed end of the scene, The Box in Soho sits at the wilder, more provocative end. Both are cabaret, but the night out is very different, so pick the mood you are after.

As with any big London night, book ahead and plan the evening around it. Line up cocktails at the best bars in London first, sort out where to stay for the nightlife, and you have the makings of a brilliant night. For more ideas, see our full guide to London after dark.
