The Little Violet Door is a unique nightlife venue located in London, United Kingdom, known for its playful "house party" atmosphere with a quirky, residential-style interior. Established by the Little Door & Co hospitality group, which is renowned for its series of residential-themed bars such as The Little Blue Door, The Little Yellow Door, and The Little Orange Door, The Little Violet Door opened its doors in 2023 in the heart of Soho. The venue features interiors that mimic the cozy chaos of a friend's eclectic flat, complete with mismatched furniture, stacks of books, and even kitchen-style bars, offering guests an immersive and nostalgic experience reminiscent of informal gatherings at home.

Over time, The Little Violet Door has built a solid reputation among locals and international visitors alike, celebrated for its blend of intimate vibes, innovative cocktails served out of teapots and vases, and a warm, welcoming staff. Its cultural significance lies in its reimagining of traditional nightclub and bar culture, carving out a niche for those seeking a more personal, less corporate nightlife experience in the energetic Soho district. Since its inception, the club has remained in its original Soho location, with no major structural relocations, but has continuously evolved its décor and programming to keep the atmosphere fresh and engaging.

Its eclectic music programming spans genres and often features both live acoustic sets and DJ performances, frequently collaborating with local talent and up-and-coming artists. While The Little Violet Door is not typically a venue for major stadium-headliner acts, it has become a favorite platform for emerging London artists and has, on occasion, hosted secret or surprise performances by more established UK musicians, particularly in the indie, funk, and electronic scenes. Notable artists who have performed at The Little Violet Door include rising stars such as Jaz Karis, singer-songwriter Eloise, local DJ collective Soho House Sounds, acclaimed funk band The Future Groove Project, electronica duo Bicep (secret DJ set), as well as open-mic appearances from artists affiliated with London’s Soul Stripped Sessions and Sofar Sounds.

The venue has also been a starting point for talented DJs like Nick Charles and Phoebe Caddy, whose sets blend commercial chart-toppers with house party classics, fostering the inclusive, unpredictable energy that has become a signature of the Little Door & Co venues.
