Little Tape is one of London's most sought-after nightlife destinations, located in the heart of Mayfair. London's most exclusive after-party venue. Intimate speakeasy inside Tape London, open 3am-5:30am Friday and Saturday. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable night out, Little Tape delivers an experience that's hard to match anywhere else in the capital.
What to Expect at Little Tape
Little Tape is not your typical nightclub — it's London's premier after-party destination. Tucked inside the Tape London building on Hanover Square, this intimate speakeasy opens its doors at 3am when most venues are closing. The space is deliberately compact, holding just 150 guests, creating an electric atmosphere where the energy of the night reaches its peak.
Open Friday and Saturday from 3am - 5am, the venue attracts a well-dressed crowd of Londoners, international visitors, and the occasional celebrity. The door policy maintains a curated atmosphere without being intimidating — especially if you're on the guestlist.
Music & Entertainment
Little Tape specialises in Hip Hop, RnB & Afrobeats, with resident DJs who understand how to read the room and build energy throughout the night. At 3am, the DJs push the energy even higher. The intimate space means you're never far from the action, and the sound quality in the compact room is exceptional. Expect the best tracks of the night — the kind of peak-time energy that only exists in the early hours.
The Crowd & Atmosphere
The clientele at Little Tape is a mix of well-connected Londoners, fashion-forward professionals, and international visitors who've done their research. The atmosphere is welcoming but elevated — Little Tape draws people who appreciate good music, good company, and a well-run venue. The age range typically skews 23-35, though it varies by night.
Friday attracts the after-work crowd transitioning into a full night out. Saturday is the flagship night — expect the fullest dancefloor and the most curated guest list.
