Mayfair clubs

Say auf wiedersehen to 2024 in style at central London’s new Bavarian pleasure palace Albert’s Schloss, which is celebrating its first New Year’s Eve with a time-hopping party featuring some of history’s biggest party animals, with a guestlist that includes everyone from Dionysus and Cleopatra! Tickets include a welcome glass of prosecco and canapés upon arrival between 7-8pm, and guests can expect kabaret and haus band performances from 7pm until the early hours, with free-flowing bier and plenty of schnacks available to keep you going, plus an indulgent three-course NYE offering from £100pp in the Cook Haus. Catch us dancing on das benches!   

For a New Year’s Eve shindig with a retro flavour, head to Larry’s Bar, the drinking den in the brick-walled vaults under National Portrait Gallery, where the walls are decorated with portraits of theatre legends from days gone by. The bar will be serving up classic cocktails while jazz duo Kitty La Roar and Nick Shankland supply live music, before a DJ and live entertainment takes you through to midnight. Mid-century glamour is encouraged, and your £120 ticket is redeemable against spend on the evening and includes a complimentary glass of champers on arrival, plus one for a toast at midnight.
