Cuckoo Club, Now 99 Regent Street: What to Expect

The Cuckoo Club is now 99 Regent Street. The Mayfair club that sat behind Swallow Street for years now goes by its Regent Street address. If you are planning a first visit, here is what to expect from the venue as it runs today, with the Cuckoo Club years kept as history.

Finding It

The venue is at 99 Regent St, London W1B 4EZ, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus. The Cuckoo Club's entrance was round the back on Swallow Street, the short curved cut-through between Regent Street and Piccadilly, so older directions and newer ones both describe the same building. Agree the meeting point with your group before you set off.

The location is useful for a first night: dinner nearby, an easy meeting point and an easy journey home are all simpler here than at the deeper Mayfair clubs. The West End also has plenty of late bars within walking distance, as Time Out's London nightlife coverage shows.

Two Floors, Two Sounds

On Friday and Saturday both floors run: hip-hop and open format upstairs, house downstairs. Midweek, one floor opens. The best way to use the venue at the weekend is to treat the floors as two halves of the night, starting on one and moving to the other once it fills.

How the Night Flows

Doors open at 11pm and the venue closes at 4am, from Wednesday to Saturday. Like most of Mayfair, the room takes a while to find its rhythm, so arriving around opening time gives you the space to settle in before it gets busy, and guestlist places are safer early.

The Door

The dress code is smart and elegant: heels or elegant evening boots with heels for women, an elegant shirt, smart trousers and dress shoes for men, with clean, elegant trainers acceptable. The venue is 19+, a year older than most of Mayfair, and everyone needs physical ID.

Tips for a First Visit

• Book ahead for weekends. Tables start from £600 minimum spend, as of October 2026, and a reservation turns the door into a formality.
• Keep the group balanced. The guestlist takes mixed groups by request; groups of men are safest on a table.
• Use both floors. At the weekend the night reads differently upstairs and downstairs.
• Bring ID. At 19+, the door checks carefully.

The Cuckoo Club, as It Was

As the Cuckoo Club, the venue was known for its theatrical decor, its two floors and a polished, international crowd, and it held its place in the West End for years. Those details describe the Cuckoo Club; 99 Regent Street sets its own programme and door.

Is It Right for You?

99 Regent Street suits a group that wants a two-sound night close to Piccadilly. If you want theatre and performance built into the night, read about The Box in Soho; and for a smaller, heritage-led night, Scotch of St James is a short walk away.
