If you’re planning on coming to London for your studies, especially from the U.S., no doubt you’re going to love London’s nightlife. Mayfair is well-known for its high-end exclusive nightclubs, home to countless unique clubbing experiences and unforgettable nights.
Without making this any longer than it needs to be so you can start planning your nights, here are the four best nightclubs for students in London.
1. Tape London
Tape London is an elegant hip-hop nightclub that brings a fusion of iconic style and exclusive clientele. This A-list hotspot is home to some of the most elegant parties in Mayfair. Not just that, but the club is also known for its elegant crowd of socialites and people from all walks of life - including celebrities like Travis Scott and Central Cee.
For girls, there’s a Tape club guestlist option which includes complimentary entry, complimentary drinks, and access to a shared promoters’ table.
For guys and mixed groups, there’s a Tape table option. Tables start at £1,000 minimum spend and vary according to group size and the night you’d like to go out.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
2. Cirque Le Soir
The mystifying and circus-themed Cirque Le Soir pulls out all the stops with mesmerizing theatrical performances and jaw-dropping displays. Between the acrobats, fire-eaters, and the venue’s explosive energy, Cirque always packs a fun girls night out in London.
The Cirque guestlist is an option for girls and girl groups. Entry is usually up to £20, depending on the night. Drinks are complimentary and, as with Tape, you also have access to a shared promoters’ table.
If you’re a group of guys or a mixed group, we’re happy to help with a Cirque Le Soir reservation. Similar to Tape, tables at Cirque also start at £1,000 minimum spend.
3. Rumour
When it comes to nights out, Rumour packs a different kind of experience. The club that replaced Tabu on Dover Street holds around 200 people, so it feels full and close by midnight, and its open-format sets mix hip hop, RnB and house.
Similar to Cirque, the Rumour guestlist is a great option if you’re looking for a girl’s night out in Central London, with entry from free up to around £20.
Booking a table at Rumour is the way in for guys and mixed groups. The minimum spend starts at £1,000. Let us know how many guys and how many girls you’d like to be, and we’ll provide you with an accurate minimum spend for the night.
4. Itzel
Itzel, at 15 Berkeley Street where Luxx used to be, suits student groups that cannot agree on music: the Main Room plays hip hop and eclectic sets, the Moon Room is house-led, and a Mexican taqueria stays open late. It holds around 500 people and runs Thursday to Saturday.
Unusually for Mayfair, the Itzel guestlist takes mixed groups, with a door charge that varies by night and rises as the night goes on, so arrive early.
If you would rather have a private table, you can book an Itzel table.
There you have it: the four best nightclubs for students in London that provide an unrivaled experience. The intoxicating allure of Tape London, the enigmatic magic of Cirque Le Soir, Rumour’s intimate room, and the three rooms of Itzel will take your clubbing adventures to the next level. In other words, make sure to study hard, because you’re going to party harder. All you need to do is reach out and we'll let you know everything and sort it for you.
