London after dark
13 licensed venues, checked October 2026.
Going out in London
Every London gentlemen's club needs a Sexual Entertainment Venue licence from its council, and those licences are hard to win, so the scene is small, regulated and stable. The polished clubs sit in Soho, Covent Garden and around Leicester Square, with later, more relaxed venues in Shoreditch and the East End. Expect an entry fee of roughly £10 to £25, a collared-shirt dress code and strict no-touching rules.

Platinum Lace Coventry Street
A high-end Art Deco club on Coventry Street with acrobatics and fire performances, and private suites for groups and celebrations.
