Since its inauguration in 1965, the Scotch Of St James nightclub in London has retained its status as a cutting-edge and trendy establishment. Following a temporary closure in the 1980s, the venue underwent a meticulous restoration in 2012, seamlessly blending 1960s elements with a modern touch to pay homage to its heritage and distinctive style.
Nestled discreetly behind an unassuming door in Mason’s Yard, the Scotch Of St James offers an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. However, be aware of its casual exterior; upon entering, you’ll encounter a fully stocked bar, state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, and a vibrant crowd comprising London’s trendiest individuals. The ground floor emanates a cosy ambience, providing the perfect setting for relaxation, enjoying a few drinks, and immersing yourself in the venue’s history, elegantly displayed on the walls.
The true heartbeat of the club resides in the basement. With its industrial aesthetics, this space creates a natural and minimalist backdrop celebrated by music aficionados for its exceptional live acoustics. The infectious beats resonate, accommodating an array of music genres, including rock, pop, performances by world-class DJs, and hip-hop.
A sanctuary for celebrity musicians spanning diverse genres, the Scotch Of St James boasts an illustrious reputation. It hosted Jimi Hendrix’s inaugural UK performance and welcomed iconic acts like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Even today, it remains a magnet for celebrities, drawing the likes of Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and Georgia Jagger.
