LA-YAM Rooftop, located atop Kingsbourne House at 229-231 High Holborn in London, is a prominent nightclub that has become a vibrant fixture of the city’s nightlife scene. Originally conceptualized as a pop-up summer venue, LA-YAM quickly garnered attention not only for its panoramic rooftop views but also for its unique blend of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and modern London influences, both in its décor and musical programming. The name “LA-YAM,” translating from Hebrew as "to the sea,” symbolizes the venue's breezy, relaxed ambiance reminiscent of Mediterranean summer nights, even in the heart of Holborn.

Although Kingsbourne House has had various tenants and businesses over the years, its transformation into a rooftop destination marks a significant cultural shift, reflecting Londoners’ increasing appetite for high-rise social spaces and experiential nightlife. Since its inception, LA-YAM Rooftop has distinguished itself by hosting immersive events, themed parties, and a curated musical lineup that attracts an eclectic crowd, from local creatives to international jet-setters. Over time, the venue has expanded its space and improved its facilities, including weather-proofing elements and upscale furnishings, further positioning itself as a go-to spot for both daytime lounging and late-night revelry.

Its reputation is firmly rooted in both its inclusive, unpretentious atmosphere and its support for emerging local talent alongside renowned international acts, making it a cultural crossroads where music, food, and urban energy collide in memorable fashion. Notable artists who have performed at LA-YAM Rooftop include international DJs like Blond:ish, Guy Gerber, and Behrouz, while also showcasing London-based talents such as Eliza Rose, Joshua James, and Cassy.
