KOKO Camden is 18+ for its late-night club programme, and photo ID is required. There is no under-18 entry to club nights, and the door checks properly — this is a 1,500-capacity licensed venue, not a bar where a doorman waves people through.
The Policy
- Club nights (Friday and Saturday): 18 and over, photo ID required
- Live gigs: age policy is set per event — some shows admit under-18s with an accompanying adult, others are strictly 18+. Always check the specific event.
That second point catches people out. A ticketed concert and a Saturday club night at the same address can have completely different age rules, so do not assume one from the other.
Accepted ID
- Passport
- UK photocard driving licence
- National identity card (EU/EEA)
- PASS-accredited proof-of-age card with the hologram
Photocopies, photos of ID on your phone and expired documents are not accepted. Bring the physical document.
How KOKO Compares
KOKO at 18+ is more accessible than much of the Mayfair circuit, where 21+ is common and enforced at the door. If you are 18–20 and looking for a serious London club night, KOKO is one of the better options — and the room is considerably more impressive than most venues that admit your age group.
Groups With Mixed Ages
Everyone needs to be 18+ and everyone needs their own ID. One person without ID is refused — being with a group does not help, and it will not be waved through because the rest of you are fine. Check before you travel across London.
Booking a VIP table gives your group priority entry, but it does not change the age policy. Every guest still needs valid photo ID.
Turning 18 or Celebrating a Birthday
KOKO is a strong choice for an 18th, precisely because the age policy allows it and the room does the work. Balcony booths start from £1,000 minimum spend — see our KOKO birthday packages guide.
If the birthday itself falls the night before you turn 18, you cannot get in. The door goes by the date on the ID.
