5 Best Karaoke Bars in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Nobody wants to belt out a power ballad in front of strangers, which is exactly why London's private-room karaoke scene has grown well beyond the classic dive-bar open mic. Five karaoke bars in London carry over 7,000 combined reviews between them, and K Club Karaoke Holborn alone holds 1,412 of those at a 4.9 rating.

Short answer: K Club Karaoke (K王 KTV) Holborn leads with a 4.9 rating across 1,412 reviews, a dedicated private-room karaoke venue with a full food and cocktail menu. BAM Karaoke Box Victoria and Karaoke Box Mayfair are the other two purpose-built karaoke venues here; the two Simmons Bar locations are primarily cocktail bars and nightclubs that also offer karaoke rooms or booths. Expect roughly £20 to £60 per person depending on the venue and how much you eat and drink.

K Club Karaoke (K王 KTV) Holborn

4.91,412 Google reviews

K Club Karaoke, also known as K王 KTV, is a Holborn-based private-room karaoke venue built around the Asian KTV format: private rooms with wraparound screens, immersive sound and a full food and cocktail menu rather than just a mic and a screen. The venue serves a mix of Western and Chinese dishes, tempura, braised beef, duck wings, alongside a cocktail list, and offers electric shisha as an add-on. Group bookings, including large parties of 15 or more, are handled through WhatsApp.

What people praise

  • Sound system and private-room setup described as high-end and immersive
  • Song selection covers English and Mandarin catalogues, praised for mixed-nationality groups
  • Food specifically singled out as better than typical karaoke venue fare
  • Handled a 17-person group booking smoothly with accommodating staff

Worth knowing

  • A couple of reviewers noted the karaoke system can be unresponsive at times, interrupting the flow.
  • Prices run on the steeper side, one reviewer estimated £50 to £60 per person for a full night out.

Simmons Bar | Leicester Square

4.52,591 Google reviews

Simmons Bar Leicester Square is one of fifteen London locations of the Simmons Bars chain, primarily a cocktail bar and nightclub known for retro decor, happy hour deals and DJ-led nights, with karaoke available as one of several rooms across its wider estate rather than the venue's main draw. The chain's own site lists karaoke rooms with over 50,000 songs specifically at its Soho, Greek Street, Leicester Square, Monument, Liverpool Street and Kings Cross locations. It's a high-volume venue built for a mixed night out, drinks and dancing as much as singing.

What people praise

  • Happy hour and two-for-one cocktail deals repeatedly praised as genuinely good value
  • DJ and dancefloor described as a strong draw on busy nights
  • Staff singled out by name for making birthday celebrations feel special
  • Reviewers highlight it as a good stop on a wider pub crawl or night out

Worth knowing

  • Some reviewers describe inconsistent door policy experiences with bouncers on re-entry.
  • As primarily a bar and nightclub, karaoke here is one feature among several rather than the main event; confirm room availability if singing is the priority.

Karaoke Box Mayfair

4.61,028 Google reviews

Karaoke Box Mayfair is a private-room karaoke venue on Maddox Street with an English-language song list, part of the wider Karaoke Box chain with multiple London locations. The Mayfair room offers named room tiers, including a Gold Room, and combines karaoke booking with a bar and food menu for group celebrations. Reviewers consistently credit management and staff by name for handling groups well, including birthday parties.

What people praise

  • Management and staff repeatedly praised by name for close, attentive service throughout a booking
  • Rooms described as spacious with a good drinks and food selection
  • Staff extended time for song selection without extra charge in at least one case
  • Song library covers most requests, with reviewers flagging musical theatre and very new releases as gaps

Worth knowing

  • Rating distribution shows a wider spread than the other karaoke specialists here (46 one-star reviews among 1,028), worth reading recent reviews directly.
  • Song selection leans English-language, so ask ahead if you need a specific non-English catalogue.

Simmons Bar | Greek Street

4.8742 Google reviews

Simmons Bar Greek Street is a Soho location of the same Simmons Bars chain as the Leicester Square branch, a cocktail bar with retro decor and a karaoke booth available to hire alongside its regular bar service. It's a smaller venue than the flagship Leicester Square site, with reviewers describing it as a low-key spot for drinks that occasionally becomes a karaoke stop rather than a dedicated booking destination. Staff are named individually across reviews, including Chris, Igli and Tiago.

What people praise

  • Bartenders repeatedly singled out by name for attentive, friendly service
  • Drink deals, including a consistently priced Guinness, praised as good value
  • Atmosphere described as relaxed enough to actually hold a conversation despite music
  • One group specifically praised hiring the karaoke booth as an unplanned highlight of the night

Worth knowing

  • As a smaller cocktail bar location, it can feel busy quickly, and karaoke booth availability isn't guaranteed without checking ahead.

Watch: 5 Best Karaoke Bars in London (2026)

How we scored these karaoke venues

Rating is each venue’s live Google average, and review volume measures how many customers actually left one. Confidence blends the two, and recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No venue can pay to move up this list, only a Featured badge is ever for sale, and none of these five currently hold one.

How much does a night of karaoke cost in London (2026)?

Prices vary by venue, room size, and how much food and drink you order. Based on figures customers themselves reported in recent Google reviews, expect a wide range depending on which of these five you choose and how big your group is.

JobTypical price
Simmons Bar (Greek St / Leicester Sq), casual drinks£1 to £30 per person
Karaoke Box Mayfair, room plus drinks£20 to £100 per person
BAM Karaoke Box Victoria, event package£30 to £40 per person
K Club Karaoke Holborn, full night with food£50 to £100+ per person

Compiled from price-per-person figures customers reported in Google reviews between 2025 and 2026. Actual cost depends on room size, drinks and food ordered.

Karaoke across central London

These five venues cluster around Holborn, Leicester Square, Victoria, Mayfair and Soho, all within easy reach of each other on foot or a short tube ride. If you’re searching for karaoke near me from elsewhere in London, both the Simmons Bars chain and Karaoke Box operate additional locations across the city beyond the ones reviewed here.

What to ask before you book a karaoke night

  • Is this a dedicated karaoke venue or a bar where karaoke is one option among several?
  • How many people does the room hold, and is there a minimum spend?
  • Does the song catalogue cover the languages your group actually wants to sing in?
  • Is food and drink included in a package price, or charged separately?
  • How far in advance do you need to book for a weekend slot?
  • What’s the cancellation or rescheduling policy for a group booking?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, rating, review volume and recency. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner for a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

Why are cocktail bars included in a karaoke bars list?

Search demand for karaoke bars surfaces both dedicated karaoke venues and general bars that offer karaoke rooms. We’ve flagged clearly in each write-up which of these five are purpose-built for karaoke versus bars where it’s one option among several.

How did you choose these five?

We compared venues with a real Google presence in London under this category and ranked by live rating, review volume and recency.

How often is this page updated?

We refreshed the underlying data in July 2026 and recheck it periodically.

The bottom line

For a proper karaoke night built around private rooms and a real food menu, K Club Karaoke Holborn is the safe default on rating and review volume. If karaoke is just part of a bigger night out with drinks and dancing, either Simmons Bar location covers that instead.
