The Candlelight Club is a clandestine pop-up 1920s speakeasy, in a secret London venue lit by candles. Each event offers a one-off cocktail menu with special themes, plus live period jazz bands and vintage vinylism for your dancing pleasure. Ticket holders get an email two days before revealing the location.
Technically it’s 11 years since our first event, back in October 2010—we were planning a big ten-year celebration last year but obviously because of Covid that didn’t happen. So we’re damn well going to have it now! Come and wish us happy birthday and celebrate ten years of speakeasy shenanigans.
Joining us to get your feet moving on the dance floor will be bandleader (and TikTok darling) Jack Calloway and his mighty Parlophonians. Hosting, of course, will be the Lord of Cabaret misrule, Champagne Charlie, with a slap, a tickle and a saucy song. When the band aren’t playing DJ Baronness Jojo from the Bee’s Knees will be spinning vintage vinyl into the night. There will also be a pop-up vintage jewellery store, a fortune teller and a roaming photographer.
In addition to the main cocktail bar, our famous rum and cigar bar will be selling genuine Havana cigars to smoke in our private garden. You can reserve a table with Champagne, to which you can also add food from a menu of snacks and sharing platters.
"The closest you'll find to an authentic Jazz Age experience in central London. Its unique ambience, fuelled by hundreds of candles, is truly a scene to behold." —Time Out
