Century Club

Century Club is a private members' club on Shaftesbury Avenue in Soho, in the heart of London's West End. It spreads over several floors, with a cocktail lounge, meeting rooms and a large roof terrace, and it opens its doors to non-members for weddings and private events.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Soho has long been at the centre of LGBTQ+ life in London, and a wedding here puts you right in the middle of it. The club can host both an intimate ceremony and a full party, with the whole day moving through the building from vows to dinner to the roof. For larger celebrations, the club offers full venue takeovers, so your guests can have the place to themselves.

Ceremonies

The Green Room is licensed for civil ceremonies, so you can marry and celebrate under one roof. It suits a smaller, more personal ceremony before your guests head on to drinks and dinner.

Receptions and food

Weddings can take up to 200 guests across the roof terrace and the Green Room. A typical day runs from the ceremony to a seated wedding breakfast downstairs, then up to the roof terrace for the evening. The terrace has a retractable glass roof, which helps in uncertain weather. Other spaces include the Cocktail Lounge and an Outer Terrace. For bigger parties, full venue hire is available for up to 650 guests. Ask the events team for the wedding brochure for current menus and what is included.

Getting there and the area

The club is at 61 to 63 Shaftesbury Avenue, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square Underground stations, with Tottenham Court Road also nearby. Soho, Chinatown and Covent Garden are all on the doorstep, which gives guests endless choice of bars, restaurants and hotels before and after the wedding.
