The intimate 60s inspired night club, The Scotch of St James, was home to some of the most famous rock’n’roll royalty, seeing the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many more go through the rustic black wooden door which to this day, still remains. Legend has it, it was also the backdrop for John Lennon and Yoko Ono's first encounter. The Scotch can also claim rights to an exclusive first performance of a young gentleman known as Jimi Hendrix, who on his first visit to the club decided to plug himself into the sound system and deliver an impromptu performance!

Just a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly Circus and a few minutes’ walk from Green Park, The Scotch occupies a central, yet hidden location tucked away in Mason’s Yard.

The venue hosts renowned parties from birthdays to networking, makes for a unique filming and photoshoot location, and is a prestigious space for product launches and promotional events. Both floors can be adapted to meet specific event requirements, with options for private screenings, dry hire, Christmas events, Media/TV locations, group meetings, pre/post dinner events, live music showcase, team building events and pop ups.

The space is set across two floors with a total capacity of 200 standing, with an incredible sound system set up for all audio requirements and lighting to compliment any mood. The upper level boasts a well-stocked, attractively lit copper bar, accommodating up to 80 guests for a speak-easy standing reception.

Descend the staircase into the basement and you will find the decadent nightclub, with lavish seating and private tables surrounding the LED dance floor, DJ and stage area, accommodating up to 120 guests.

The Scotch team is dedicated to building on its illustrious heritage as a culturally significant meeting point, aiming to host the city's most relevant and exciting events and personalities in music, fashion, film and the arts.


Descend the staircase into the basement level nightclub where decadence awaits. Lavish red booths and private tables surround the LED dancefloor, DJ and stage area, where guests can dance the night away under the mirrored disco ball with an incredible sound system set up for all audio requirements and lighting to compliment any mood.

    all our white friends got in right before us without a reservation and when it came to us (asian, arab and hispanic, all girls) the bouncer took one look at us and told us we needed a reservation or a table to get in…. and then when we asked about “the people before us”, if they had a reservation, they lied and said yes they did. terrible

    My experience there was awful! They do not maintain any capacity restriction and that is very serious! I don ‘t want to think about the end result of a failure to follow safety procedures in any emergency situation! People queue up for the toilets, for the bar or for the cloakroom, so nobody can enjoy any service. Anyone could barely move because of the crowd they let in! They try to handle all this crowd resulting in staff being brief and curt! I wonder why they think they offer something so great that worths to be expensive too! This place under these conditions is appalling! I hope they follow capacity restrictions so that their customers are comfortable and able to enjoy their nights!
