SESH

Soho House in the United Kingdom is not just a nightclub but an exclusive members' club with a highly influential presence in the creative and cultural scenes of London and beyond. Founded in 1995 by Nick Jones, the original Soho House opened its doors on Greek Street in London’s historic Soho district, occupying a Georgian townhouse above his Café Boheme. The venue was conceptualized as a private space for professionals in the film, media, and creative industries—a unique antidote to the stuffier gentleman’s clubs that previously dominated London's social landscape.

Over the years, Soho House has garnered a reputation for its blend of exclusivity and relaxed atmosphere, where privacy is paramount and a creative spirit is always welcomed. Its no-photos policy and carefully curated member base have only heightened its allure, making it a favored haunt for celebrities, artists, and industry insiders. Culturally, Soho House is seen as a hub for networking, collaboration, and inspiration within the creative elite.

Its ambiance—stylish yet comfortable, artistic yet understated—reflects a distinctly modern British sensibility. The club has become synonymous with discreet luxury and trendsetting, often acting as a launchpad for emerging talent and an informal stage for high-profile cultural figures. Over the years, Soho House has expanded both physically and geographically: the original Greek Street venue has undergone renovations to maintain its intimate yet contemporary feel, while the Soho House brand itself has grown internationally, with outposts in major cities across Europe, North America, and beyond.

In London, new locations such as Shoreditch House, White City House, and 180 House have appeared, each with its own character, but the spirit of the original Soho House endures as the blueprint for all subsequent venues. Social and cultural changes within the city—rising rents, changing nightlife tastes, and increased competition—have prompted Soho House to continually adapt, whether by updating interiors, expanding services to include hotel rooms and wellness facilities, or reimagining food and entertainment offerings to stay relevant to its creative clientele. Despite its reputation as a private club rather than a traditional live performance venue, Soho House has played host to numerous notable artists, offering intimate sets and secret gigs that are often unadvertised to the public.

These performances further contribute to its mystique and status as a creative incubator. Notable artists who have performed at Soho House include Adele, Florence + the Machine, Sam Smith, Jessie Ware, Ed Sheeran, Lily Allen, James Bay, Emeli Sandé, and international stars such as Lady Gaga and Mark Ronson. The club also provides a platform for rising local musicians and DJs, regularly featuring live performances and DJ sets from both established and emerging artists at its various London locations.
