Stringfellows

Stringfellows is an upscale adult entertainment club on Upper St Martin's Lane in Covent Garden, a short walk from Leicester Square and the Cambridge Circus end of the West End. Founded in 1980 by Peter Stringfellow, it has stayed one of London's best known late-night venues and opens seven nights a week from 9pm until 4.30am.

The club's own account of itself leans on that history: a fixture of the West End for more than four decades, known as a favoured haunt of the rich and famous and positioned around late-night fine dining, luxury decor and live performance. The setting is closer to a members' club than a standard bar, with door entry, packages and memberships handled through reception in advance.

Late night club in Covent Garden

The club is built around live performance from its dancers, with themed rooms including the Boudoir Lounge and a dedicated Cigar Room. Karaoke sessions and organised party packages sit alongside the main floor, and the venue is available for private hire. Stringfellows pairs its adult entertainment with a full late-night restaurant menu, so guests can order food well into the early hours: platters and mains built around premium cuts, desserts, and a drinks list that runs to fine wines, cocktails and premium spirits.

What to expect on a visit

Upper St Martin's Lane places the club within easy reach of Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Charing Cross stations, in the middle of the West End's evening trade of theatres, restaurants and bars. Bookings, table reservations and membership enquiries are taken by phone or email through the club directly, and entry is for adults only. It is listed among the event venues in Covent Garden for its private hire and party packages; for a daytime corporate alternative nearby, see The Form Rooms on Tower Street.
