The Century opened to wide acclaim for the millennium as a unique members’ club in the heart of London’s theatreland. Today it is a bastion of tranquillity and inspiration, the perfect place to work, rest, and play.
A short history
The Century, ensconced in the vibrant heart of Soho, is a members club that celebrates the enduring spirit of creativity and innovation.
Founded in 2001, the club quickly gained a reputation as a hub for artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives. Its expansive yet intimate setting created an environment where members could mingle with like-minded individuals and share their work in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Today, it is a space that embodies the very essence of Soho, where the creative and the curious come together to engage, collaborate, and innovate.
Our Spaces
Set across three buildings in Soho, The Century offers a relaxing environment with lounges, meeting rooms, event spaces, a dining room and excellent food and drink. And its outstanding feature is its roof, whose three terraces offer unparalleled views across the capital with all-year-round access.
Eat & Drink
Arts & Culture
The Century is a creative destination with a programme that titillates, entertains and amuses. We strive to unearth the capital’s most exciting artists, from revered luminaries to fresh new talent, and give them a space to flaunt their best work.

- Due to licensing restrictions, The Century is going to be closed on Good Friday and Saturday over the Easter weekend. We’re looking at it as an excellent excuse for all our lovely members to kick back, devour a shameful amount of chocolate eggs and perhaps even talk to your families. But fear not, for we shall open again as normal on Tuesday the 2nd April when you can regale us with tales of your Easter escapades.

- Every Thursday from 8 pm The Century is jazzing it up on Thursday nights. We now have live music and pure magic every Thursday in our Club Lounge. And guess what? We've scored a phenomenal residency – none other than the Roy Pfeffer Trio. This dynamic jazz funk trio arrives at the Century with its soulful mix of New Orleans jazz, Mardi Gras and funk repertoire, inspired by Grant Green, Horace Silver, Idris Muhammad, Dr John and Herbie Hancock. So mark your calendars and make it a day to remember - Thursdays are now synonymous with jazz at the Century. Come, unwind, and indulge in an unforgettable evening of rhythm and libations.

- Are you ready to speak truth to power? And are you brave enough to turn your truth into your power? Prepare to meet three feminist writers who do. In these difficult times it is hard to stand up and fight for change, for ourselves, for others, and more important than ever that we act. So we could not be more proud to bring bestsellers and award-winners, N. S. Nuseibeh(Namesake: Reflections on A Warrior Woman), Tutku Barbaros (All the Women She Knows: Stories of Growth, Change and Sisterhood) and Angela Saini (The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule), to the Feminist Book Society stage. We invite you to courageously, radically, listen. To rethink. To unlearn. And to write your story – our stories – anew. To be prepared to let go of the myths, narratives and structures designed specifically to hold us back – and to unleash the transformative, collective power of doing so. MEET THE AUTHORS: N.S. Nuseibeh is a British-Palestinian writer and researcher, born and raised in East Jerusalem. Her interests include issues around identity, ethics, inequality and education. She has previously written for the Atlantic and been shortlisted for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. Namesake won the Giles St Aubyn Award first prize as a work-in-progress. Angela Saini is an award-winning British science journalist and broadcaster. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, /New Scientist, Wired and The Sunday Times, and she regularly presents science programmes on the BBC. In 2020 she was named one of the world's top 50 thinkers by Prospect magazine, and in 2018 she was voted one of the most respected journalists in the UK. She has won honours from the ‘Association of British Science Writers’ and the ‘American Association for the Advancement of Science’. Tutku Bararbos is a writer – across forms – of Turkish Cypriot heritage from south-east London. She is an alumna of the Royal Court Writers’ Programme as well as Sphinx Theatre’s year-long writer’s development programme, Sphinx Lab.
