The Scotch

Since its establishment in 1965, the Scotch Of St James nightclub in London has maintained its position as a cutting-edge and fashionable venue. Following a temporary closure in the 1980s, the club underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012, preserving its 1960s essence while infusing a modern touch that pays tribute to its unique style and heritage.

Nestled behind an unassuming door in Mason’s Yard, the Scotch Of St James offers an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Don’t let its casual exterior deceive you, though. Inside, you’ll find a well-stocked bar, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, and a vibrant crowd of London’s trendiest individuals. The ground floor emanates a cozy ambience, inviting you to relax, enjoy a few drinks, and immerse yourself in the venue’s rich history showcased on its walls.

But it’s in the basement where the club truly comes alive. With its industrial aesthetics, this space provides a natural and minimalist setting known among music lovers for its exceptional live acoustics. The infectious beats reverberate, accommodating genres such as rock, pop, world-class DJs, and hip-hop.

As a haven for celebrity musicians spanning different genres, the Scotch Of St James boasts a remarkable reputation. It served as Jimi Hendrix’s inaugural UK performance venue and welcomed legendary acts like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Even today, it remains a hotspot for celebrities, drawing the likes of Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Georgia Jagger.

The club operates from Thursday to Saturday, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Dressing impeccably is essential, and sportswear, jeans, and distressed clothing are strictly prohibited. Opt for smart casual attire to ensure admission to this legendary establishment.
