How the Tabu Guestlist Works
London Night Guide ran a free guestlist service for Tabu while it was open. Guests submitted their details through the form on this page or messaged us on WhatsApp, and we confirmed the spot. Guestlist benefits included:
- Free or reduced entry - guestlist entry was typically complimentary for women, and free or discounted for men before midnight
- Priority queue - guestlist arrivals had a separate, faster queue
- Confirmed reservation - your name was on the list and the door team expected you
- No booking fee - our service is completely free
Tip: the guestlist was best booked at least a day in advance. For Friday and Saturday, booking early gave you the best chance.
Opening Nights and Hours
Tabu is open on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 11pm-4am. The venue holds 250 guests, creating an intimate atmosphere where every night feels exclusive.
Music and Entertainment
The music centres on Hip Hop & RnB, with resident DJs who read the room and build energy throughout the night. Saturday brings the biggest tunes and the most energy, while midweek nights offer a more experimental feel.
