KOKO Camden has no guestlist. As of October 2026, entry to KOKO's Friday and Saturday club nights (the KOKO Electronic series) is by advance ticket, typically £15 to £25 and more for headline DJs, with doors at 10pm and last entry at 3am. The dress code is smart casual, you need valid physical photo ID, and bags bigger than A4 are refused. A VIP table, from £1,000 minimum spend, is the one way to bring a whole group in together without separate tickets.
KOKO itself is a Grade II-listed Victorian theatre at 1A Camden High Street, directly opposite Mornington Crescent tube, reopened in 2022 after a £70m restoration. The Louis XIV-style auditorium (red velvet, gilded balconies, chandeliers and a giant disco ball) pairs with a serious sound system, and Time Out lists KOKO among the best clubs in London for its weekend clubbing series. This guide explains exactly how to get in.
Does KOKO Have a Guestlist?
No, and it is worth knowing before you plan your night. KOKO is a live music venue first, so entry works by ticket for the specific event rather than by guestlist. There is no promoter list that gets your name on the door for free or reduced entry, the way Tape, 99 Regent Street or Maddox operate in the West End.
If you have been searching for the KOKO guestlist, this is the honest answer: it does not exist. Here is what does.
How to Get Into KOKO
- Buy a ticket in advance: typically £15 to £25 for a Friday or Saturday club night, more for headline DJs. See our KOKO entry price guide.
- Tickets on the door: possible if the event has not sold out, but headline Saturdays regularly do. A gamble if your date is fixed.
- Book a VIP table: the only route that covers priority entry for your whole group with no separate tickets and no queue. Balcony booths from £1,000 minimum spend.
Tip: buy ahead for Saturdays. KOKO regularly programmes touring international DJs and those nights sell out well before the door opens.
We can tell you what is on for your date and arrange a table: our booking service is free.
Opening Nights, Hours and Last Entry
As of October 2026, KOKO's late-night club nights run on Friday and Saturday, with doors at 10pm and last entry at 3am. Some tickets carry an entry-by time: arrive after it and the venue may charge a late fee or refuse the ticket, so check yours before you set off. Sunday to Thursday the venue runs as a live music hall, with doors usually around 7pm and an 11pm curfew, and on Fridays an early gig often clears the room before the club night starts. If you are after the dance floor rather than a concert, Friday and Saturday are the nights to book.
Music and Entertainment
The weekend club nights run under the KOKO Electronic banner, with touring DJs and programming that leans house, electronic and disco; the line-up changes every week, so check the night you are booking rather than assuming a genre. The sound system is built for big-room electronic music, and the multi-tier balconies give you a clear sightline to the booth from anywhere in the room.
Dress Code
KOKO's dress code is smart casual for the Friday and Saturday club nights, more relaxed than the Mayfair clubs but not anything goes. Clean trainers and dark jeans are fine (this is Camden, not Mayfair); sportswear, football shirts and scruffy, rolled-out-of-bed looks are the ones that struggle on a busy Saturday. Gig nights are genuinely casual. The full guide, with what works for men and women, is on our KOKO dress code page.
ID, Age and Bags
The age limit depends on the event: it can be anything from 14 and over (with an adult) for some gigs to strictly over 19s, so check your ticket. For club nights, bring valid physical photo ID, such as a passport, a driving licence or a PASS card with the hologram; photos of ID on a phone are not accepted. Bags larger than an A4 sheet of paper may be refused at the door, and the two cloakrooms charge around £3 to £4 per item, as of October 2026.
Entry Price
KOKO club nights are ticketed in advance, typically £15 to £25 as of October 2026, with prices varying by event and headliner. There is no guestlist discount: the saving comes from buying early, because a limited number of tickets is held for the door and sold first come, first served. For headline DJ Saturdays, advance tickets are strongly recommended. Full details are in our KOKO entry price guide.
VIP Tables
KOKO offers VIP table service across multiple balcony tiers and the floor area, with a clear view of the stage and dance floor. Tables include bottle service and a private area for your group. Message us via WhatsApp for current bottle minimums and Saturday availability.
