Mayfair has more exclusive clubs per street than anywhere else in London. The names that made its reputation, including Roof Gardens, Project, Libertine and Mahiki, have all closed, but the area's late-night scene is as busy as ever. These are the Mayfair clubs we book most often now.
Maddox on Mill Street runs two rooms of hip hop and house and is open Thursday to Saturday, late into the morning. Expect a smart, glamorous door.
Tape London on Hanover Square plays hip hop, RnB and Afrobeats and is open on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Rumour at 1 Dover Street, the former Tabu, is an intimate 200-capacity room of red velvet booths, open Wednesday to Saturday.
Itzel at 15 Berkeley Street, on the old Funky Buddha site, has a hip hop main room, a house-led Moon Room and a late-night taqueria, and is open Thursday to Saturday.
Dress codes across Mayfair are smart to elegant: no sportswear or trainers, and most doors favour mixed groups. Get your name on the London Night Guide guestlist or book a table, and we will arrange the rest.
