Where to do karaoke in London: 6 fun places to sing your heart out in the capital
Grab your friends, get a round in, and get ready to sing your heart out!
Unleash your inner pop star and grab the mic in one of London’s many karaoke venues. Whether you're going for a Japanese-style session with your colleagues after work or just belting out tunes with your friends, there are plenty of options.
And we are talking serious stuff with banging sound systems, strong song selection, and highly aesthetic places, not to mention food or cocktails.
Whatever your singing skills or your budget, there is a place for you to hit the mic in London. Get ready to grab those inflatable guitars, wear some neon wigs, and chill on cool sofas. Here are six spots in London where you can sing your heart out!
1. BAM Karaoke Box (Victoria)
Chic and fresh from Paris, where it is a hit, BAM is branded the biggest karaoke spot in Europe! The whole vibe kicked off when the French founder came back from a trip to Japan, where he tried karaoke for the first time.
We're talking seriously cool, super chic, and eclectic décor, 22 private rooms, each one carefully decorated to a special theme (check The Scandalous Room!), a live music stage, and even an outdoor terrace. BAM Karaoke Box holds themed brunches, has fun photo booths, and options for private hire. Not a singer? Enjoy amazing cooked-on-site food (they are French after all) and a large drinks menu.
Address: 74 Victoria Street, SW1E 6SQ
Nearest tube station: Victoria
2. Lucky Voice (Holborn, Islington, Liverpool Street, Soho, Waterloo)
The pink and black brand is a karaoke institution, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first Soho venue. Think sleek private rooms and huge song catalogues. Some venues offer private karaoke rooms (nine in Soho), others have a karaoke club feel, with a bar and dancefloor (Islington).
Away from the bar and feeling thirsty? There’s no panic button but a “thirsty button”, to be squeezed with relish for in-booth service.
Feeling hungry? Pizzas, nibbles, even a bottomless brunch in the middle of the day - after all, why only sing at night?
Perfect for birthdays or just a seriously fun night out with your crew. Lucky Voice also organises kids’ parties (kids at the mic and, of course, parents at the bar).
Address: 52 Poland Street, W1F 7NQ
Nearest tube station: Oxford Circus
3. All Star Lanes (Brick Lane, Holborn, Stratford, White City)
Forget bowling and get to sing. All Star Lanes are famous for their super cool, throwback '50s bowling vibes, but they also have private karaoke rooms that can fit up to 14 people! Turn on the volume and hit those high notes. And why not throw the ball afterwards?
Address: Brick Lane, 95 Brick Lane, E1 6QL
Nearest tube station: Liverpool Street or Whitechapel
4. Bao London (Battersea, Borough, City, Marylebone, and Shoreditch)
Get back to karaoke roots in some of these Taiwanese restaurant locations. Enjoy Bao’s private rooms inspired by cinema, Asian nightscapes, and subcultures. And of course, get these amazing steamed buns in your mouth. We just love their man-eating-a-bun logo, which some are getting tattooed with, according to their Insta account! Not a massive fan of needles? You can get your way around with the tote bag.
Address: 1 Redchurch St, London, E2 7DJ
Nearest tube station: Shoreditch High Street
5. The Old Queen’s Head (Angel)
A good old local pub as we love them, wooden tables, bottle green old tiles, Sunday roasts, regular pub quizzes, and a background atmosphere of clinking glasses, laughs, and humming conversations. And the magic continues upstairs with a secret karaoke room that can welcome up to fifteen guests. Or, if you're feeling brave, you can grab the spotlight and perform in front of the whole crowd in the main room.
Address: 44 Essex Rd, London, N1 8LN
Nearest tube station: Angel
6. The Star of... (Bethnal Green, Hackney Downs, Liverpool Street)
Another good old pub vibe with karaoke on the side. Check out “The Star Of” pubs – they've got multiple spots with karaoke rooms ready for you to unleash your inner pop star.
At the Star by Hackney Downs, grab a local beer and head upstairs to their private karaoke room, which fits up to 15 people. Perfect for a low-key singing session with your crew.
At the Star by Liverpool Street, level up your Saturday with a bottomless brunch and then hit the mics! In Bethnal Green, your classic, beloved local pub, you’ve got everything from pub quizzes and bingo nights to a solid karaoke room that fits 15 people. Not shy (or drunk), head to the Star of Shoreditch and their massive karaoke room that can hold up to 70 of your mates! Get ready to become famous.
