“How much is a table in London?” is the question we get most. The honest answer: it depends on the club, the night and where your table sits in the room. This guide breaks down how London club table pricing actually works in 2026, with realistic minimum-spend ranges so you can plan your budget before you book.
How London club table pricing works
London’s top clubs don’t charge a flat table price. Instead they set a minimum spend — the least you agree to spend on drinks (bottles and mixers) to hold that table for the night. Hit the minimum and there’s nothing more to pay for the table itself; there’s no separate cover charge on top for table guests.
So your money isn’t “lost” on a booking fee — it becomes champagne, spirits and mixers for your group. The minimum simply guarantees the venue a certain spend in exchange for prime real estate on a busy night.
What affects the price
- The night: Saturdays are the most expensive, Fridays close behind. Midweek (Tue–Thu) minimums can be a fraction of the weekend figure.
- The venue: Exclusive Mayfair members-style clubs command far higher minimums than larger, high-capacity venues.
- Table location: Booths beside the DJ or the main dancefloor carry the highest minimums; tables further back cost less.
- Group size: Bigger groups usually need a bigger table and therefore a higher minimum.
- Events & season: Special events, bank holidays, NYE and peak summer weekends push minimums up.
Typical London club table minimum spends (2026)
These are realistic starting ranges based on our experience booking across London — not fixed prices. Always confirm the current minimum for your date.
- Exclusive Mayfair clubs (Tape, Cuckoo Club, Maddox, Cirque le Soir): from ~£800–£1,500 midweek; ~£2,000–£6,000+ Friday/Saturday.
- Large production clubs (Reign, Ministry of Sound): from ~£1,000–£2,000 midweek; ~£2,000–£5,000+ at weekends.
- Soho & St James’s venues (The Box, Reign, Dear Darling): mid-to-high range, with The Box among the pricier rooms on a Saturday.
As a rough rule of thumb, budget a per-person minimum and scale it by the night — a group of six on a Saturday in Mayfair should expect a four-figure minimum.
What’s included — and what’s not
Your minimum spend covers your bottles and mixers. It typically does not include the venue’s discretionary service charge (often around 12.5–15%), which is added to your bill. Entry for your named table guests is included; extra guests beyond your table size may not be.
How to get the best value
- Go midweek or early: the same venue can cost a fraction of its Saturday minimum on a Tuesday or Thursday.
- Right-size your group: match your group to the table so you’re not paying for space you don’t need.
- Ask about table position: a table one row back can meaningfully lower the minimum with little loss of atmosphere.
- Book through people with relationships: a promoter or service like VIPListed can secure a fair minimum and the right table — at no cost to you.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a table at a London club?
Minimum spends typically start from around £500–£1,500 midweek and £2,000–£6,000+ on Fridays and Saturdays at the top venues, depending on the club, table location and group size. It’s a minimum spend on drinks, not a separate table fee.
Is the minimum spend the total cost?
Almost — the minimum is what you spend on bottles and mixers. A discretionary service charge (usually 12.5–15%) is added on top. There’s no extra cover charge for your named table guests.
Does the minimum spend include drinks?
Yes. Every pound of your minimum goes towards your bottles and mixers — you’re not paying a fee for the table on top of your drinks.
What’s the cheapest night for a table?
Midweek. Tuesday to Thursday minimums are often a fraction of the Friday and Saturday figures at the same venue, with the same table and service.
