**Rumour is 18+** and **photo ID is required**. There is no under-18 entry, and in a 200-capacity Mayfair room the door checks properly rather than waving groups through.

## Accepted ID

- Passport
- UK photocard driving licence
- National identity card (EU/EEA)
- PASS-accredited proof-of-age card with the hologram

Photos of ID on your phone, photocopies and expired documents are not accepted. Bring the physical document.

## Everyone Needs Their Own

One person without ID is refused, and being part of a booked group does not change it. With a small room and a tight door there is no discretion to extend. Check before anyone travels across London.

## How Rumour Compares

At 18+, Rumour is more accessible than parts of the Mayfair circuit where 21+ is enforced — while still being a genuinely upscale room rather than a student night. For an 18th or a 21st in Mayfair it is one of the stronger options.

## Does a Table Change It?

No. A [table booking](https://londonnightguide.com/rumour-table-booking/) guarantees entry for your group and is how gentlemen get in, but every guest still needs to be 18+ with valid photo ID.

## Birthdays

Turning 18 or 21 is one of the better reasons to book a booth here — the room photographs well and the group stays together all night. See our [Rumour birthday packages guide](https://londonnightguide.com/rumour-birthday-packages/). If the celebration falls the night before the birthday, the door goes by the date on the ID.
