Organising a night at these musical spots is quite straightforward. Most of these venues will provide the essentials for your party, including a DJ, setup, food, and drinks. Your task is to find your favourite bar, send out the invites, and sort out all the details of your booking with the venue manager.

Can you book a karaoke room in London for fewer than 10 people?

Yes. Some karaoke rooms work for small groups, particularly those priced per person or by the hour. Karaoke Room at Roxy Ball Room – St Mary Axe starts from £14 per person, while Karaoke Den at The Fox, Shoreditch starts from £60 per hour.

Check minimum group sizes for your date: Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit requires at least 12 guests on Fridays and Saturdays.

How can you organise a cheap karaoke party in London?

Accessibility varies by venue. The Den at Ballie Ballerson lists wheelchair access, accessible toilets and ground-level entry, while Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit lists accessible toilets, ground-level entry and lift access.

Check the accessibility information for the specific karaoke room, not just the venue as a whole, before booking.

Can under-18s go to karaoke venues in London?

Your Guide to Hiring Karaoke Bars in London

Does the day of the week affect karaoke venue prices?

Yes. Some London karaoke venues charge substantially more on Fridays and Saturdays than earlier in the week.

Space	Monday to Thursday	Friday and Saturday
The Den at Ballie Ballerson, Shoreditch	from £300 min. spend	from £2,000 min. spend
Whole Venue at Beasy Soho	from £2,000 min. spend	from £5,000 min. spend
The Party Room at The Regent, Islington	from £350 min. spend	from £600 min. spend
The Games Room at Heist Bank, Paddington	from £120 hire fee	from £170 hire fee

If your date is flexible, compare midweek and weekend rates for the same venue before booking.

Private karaoke room or public karaoke bar – which should you book?

The main difference is privacy and control. A private karaoke room is exclusively for your group, while public karaoke puts you on stage or in a shared space with other customers.

	Private karaoke room	Public karaoke night
How you book	Hire in advance – per person, per hour, or on minimum spend	Usually turn up on the night; no booking
Who is in the room	Your group only	Open to the whole bar
Song queue	Yours to control	Shared rota, with waits between turns
Cost	From £14 per person or £60 per hour	The price of your drinks
Best for	Birthdays, hen and stag dos, team socials, anything with a guest list	Casual nights out, small groups, first-timers
Trade-off	You commit to a fee or a spend	No guarantee of stage time

Private rooms work particularly well for birthdays, hen and stag parties, and work nights out, especially if some guests would rather sing only in front of people they know. Public karaoke is better suited to groups who want the energy of a shared bar and don't mind taking turns with other singers.

Before booking a private room, check the session length, maximum capacity and whether food and drinks can be ordered directly to the room.

What size karaoke space do you need for your group?

Choose a karaoke room based on your actual group size and how you plan to use the space, not just its maximum capacity. If you want room to dance, eat or move around, booking right at the stated limit may feel cramped.

Up to 20 guests – Karaoke Room at Roxy Ball Room – St Mary Axe (18 standing, from £14 per person) or the Karaoke Den at The Fox, Shoreditch (20 standing, 10 seated, from £60 per hour)
20 to 30 guests – Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit in Balham (30 standing, 20 theatre, from £97 per hour with a two-hour minimum)
30 to 60 guests – The Games Room at Heist Bank in Paddington (50 standing, 25 dining), The Den at Ballie Ballerson in Shoreditch (60 standing) or The Party Room at The Regent in Islington (60 standing, 40 dining)
60 to 100 guests – The Onyx Bar at Inamo Covent Garden (70 standing or dining), VIP Room at Roxy Ball Room – Old Street (80 standing) or the Lounge & Bar at The Purple Owl in Wandsworth (80 standing)
Over 100 guests – Entire Venue at Hiver Taproom in Bermondsey (120 standing), Live Room at Colours Hoxton (250 standing), Whole Venue at Heist Bank (300 standing) or Full Venue Hire at Box Piccadilly (550 standing)

For larger groups, check whether the advertised capacity is seated or standing and whether everyone can stay together in one room. Also allow for tables, food and drinks, and any space you want for dancing.

Which London areas are best for karaoke, and why?

For the widest choice, start with Central London and the main nightlife districts. The best area depends on whether you prioritise transport, late-night options or what you want to do before and after karaoke.

Area	Why choose it	Best for
Soho	Central, surrounded by restaurants, bars and late-night venues	Groups combining karaoke with a full night out
Shoreditch & Hoxton	Strong nightlife scene with purpose-built karaoke and activity bars	Birthdays, work socials and lively group nights
City of London	Convenient for after-work groups, with good transport connections	Corporate events and weekday karaoke
Islington	Pubs and neighbourhood venues with private function and karaoke spaces	Birthdays and more relaxed group celebrations
South London	Worth comparing for private rooms and lower-priced options outside the West End	Groups prioritising budget or travelling from south London

What should you check about the song catalogue and equipment?

Before booking, check the song catalogue, microphones, screens and sound system, own-music policy and soundproofing. A dedicated karaoke setup is different from a room that simply has a PA system.

Song catalogue – check that the library covers the genres, artists and languages your group wants. The Karaoke Rooms at Roxy Ball Room advertise an extensive song library.
Microphones – check how many are provided if you want duets or group performances. Roxy Ball Room lists multiple microphones.
Screens and sound – confirm what equipment is dedicated to your room. Roxy Ball Room lists a large-screen display and sound system, while The Party Room at The Regent has a karaoke sound system with screens.
Playing your own music – policies vary. Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit and The Party Room at The Regent allow your own music and DJ, while Karaoke Den at The Fox and The Den at Ballie Ballerson do not allow your own music.
Soundproofing – if this matters to your group, check the venue page rather than assuming every private room is soundproofed. The Den at Ballie Ballerson is explicitly listed as soundproof.

Can you get food and drinks in a private karaoke room?

Yes, many London karaoke venues offer food and drinks alongside private-room hire, but how they are served varies. Some provide in-room ordering, while others require you to order from the main bar or choose a package in advance.

Room service – some rooms let you order without leaving. Karaoke Den at The Fox, Shoreditch lists an order-and-pay app.
Pre-ordered packages – The Party Room at The Regent offers pre-order beer and wine and prosecco packages plus a sharing menu, which makes splitting costs across a group straightforward.
Per-person packages – the VIP Room at Roxy Ball Room – Old Street runs a festive package at £56 per person covering gaming, food and drink. Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit lists per-person food options at £20, £30 and £50 per head.
Minimum spend venues – the spend goes on food and drink, so if your group was going to eat and drink anyway, a minimum spend can work out cheaper than a hire fee. At The Onyx Bar at Inamo Covent Garden, the £250 minimum spend per day is what you would spend at the bar rather than a cost on top of it.
Hire fee only – The Games Room at Heist Bank is bookable either on a flat hire fee from £120 per session or on a £550 minimum spend, so you can pick whichever suits your group.

How long are karaoke sessions and how late can you stay?

Karaoke sessions in London vary by venue, so check how long the quoted price covers before comparing options. A lower hourly rate may not be cheaper overall if your group needs a longer booking. Check the alcohol licence rather than just the booking slot.

Latest finish	Spaces
2am	The Den at Ballie Ballerson, Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit, Live Room at Colours Hoxton, Full Venue Hire at Box Piccadilly
1am to 1.30am	Karaoke Room at Roxy Ball Room – St Mary Axe, VIP Room at Roxy Ball Room – Old Street, The Onyx Bar at Inamo Covent Garden, Whole Venue at Beasy Soho, Lounge & Bar at The Purple Owl

Karaoke booking checklist

Before you book:

Confirm the room capacity – check that it works for your actual group, not just the maximum occupancy.
Calculate the total booking cost – include the full session length, minimum spend, food and drinks, and any additional charges.
Check the session length – confirm how long the quoted price covers and what an extension costs.
Check the karaoke setup – ask about the song catalogue, microphones, screens and sound system.
Confirm food and drinks – check whether you can order in the room and whether purchases count towards the minimum spend.
Ask about your own music or DJ – policies vary considerably between London karaoke venues.
Check the finish time – confirm when karaoke ends and whether the main bar stays open afterwards.
Check accessibility – particularly lift or step-free access if the karaoke room is upstairs or downstairs.
Read the booking terms – check the deposit, cancellation policy and what happens if your group size changes.

Booked The Upside Down at Zombie Games Café & Bar

5.0

The venue was amazing and I was very thankful to the host who was able to accommodate me so last minute. All of my guests had a lot of fun with the board games as well as the consoles. The space was plenty for my group size, you could play music easily from your phone at a really good volume and the bartender was quick and attentive. The host was also extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely book again and recommend it to anyone else booking a birthday space and looking for something fun and unique!

Booked Green Room at Great Guns Social

5.0

We hired the main room for our Christmas party for the entire day. There were 22 of us, and there was ample space! The venue is lovely decorated, classy, warm and cosy, and most importantly clean! Toilets are clean and have luxury hand soap and hand lotion! The staff were great! The 2 guys were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating! They helped set up the room perfectly, and had the table plan sorted, which mean not faffing around who ordered what! There is also karaoke machine for hire - it is not a cheap one and come with good sound (defo helps for those high notes!) The food was very tasty! Good Christmas menu selection, catering for vegans and gluten free too! Would recomend and would come here again! Thanks Great Guns team!

Booked Boutique Karaoke Room at Exhibit

5.0

I booked the venue for 4 hours of karaoke on my birthday and it was fantastic! The sound was better than in any other karaoke venue I've been to before, we used both the lucky voice songs and some songs from youtube and it was all very seamless. The staff was kind and very helpful, and everyone loved that they could use the QR code to order to the room. Bonus points for having an Air Conditioning unit, as we could keep the room cool during the summer heat. Would definitely go there again!
