Tape London

Tape London is what happens when the music industry builds its own nightclub. Sitting at 17 Hanover Square in Mayfair — on the site of the former Jalouse — the venue was designed by Grammy-winning producer Dallas Austin and operates as a genuine creative hub rather than a nightclub that happens to do private hire. The recording studio isn't a gimmick; artists including Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Clean Bandit, and Zara Larsson have used it. The gilded copper walls and gramophone chandelier create a visual signature that no other London venue replicates.

Music Heritage Made Physical

Tape's credibility comes from its DNA. The D&B Audiotechnik sound system rivals dedicated concert venues. Three LED media screens and a fully customisable lighting rig give event producers genuine creative control. The main room's stage and runway have hosted live performances from some of the world's biggest artists — when you hire Tape London, you're hiring the same infrastructure. Little Tape, the speakeasy-style members club downstairs, houses music memorabilia curated by Oliver Twitchett alongside a Baby Grand piano and vintage guitars. It's a room with genuine character, not manufactured atmosphere.

Mayfair After Dark

The 5:30am licence on Fridays and Saturdays is the longest in Mayfair's private hire scene. Combined with the venue's nightclub DNA — modular furniture, three DJ booths, full production support — this creates a hire proposition built for events that run late and run loud. The event management team, security, and full front-of-house staffing come included with every booking.

Tape London for Events

Between the main room (up to 300 standing) and Little Tape (100–140), the venue flexes from intimate album launches and VIP receptions to full 400-capacity celebrations. Oxford Circus station sits a minute's walk away, and the Mayfair address carries its own weight for client-facing corporate entertaining and milestone private events. For planners whose brief includes serious sound, serious production, and serious hours, Tape London is the Mayfair venue that actually delivers on all three.
