The House of KOKO
Music club
About
The House of KOKO opened in April 2022 inside the restored KOKO theatre on Crowndale Road, a £70 million rebuild after the fire. The club runs through the building: three restaurants, two terraces, eight bars, vinyl rooms, a hidden jazz club, rooms to work in by day, and a penthouse with a recording studio.
What no other club here offers is the balcony: members watch around 150 shows a year in the theatre from the Miraval Live Balcony, at no charge. Applications are open to everyone and go to a membership committee.
What sets it apart
- Twelve minutes from home by car, half the distance of anything in Mayfair, and reached without crossing town
- Music as the point: the members' balcony in the theatre with 150 gigs a year, a jazz club, vinyl rooms, late DJs
- A club for the night more than for lunch, with a full house all the same: bars, restaurants, terraces, a place to work by day
- Open application, no proposer
