The Century opened to wide acclaim for the millennium as a unique members’ club in the heart of London’s theatreland. Today it is a bastion of tranquillity and inspiration, the perfect place to work, rest, and play.
A short history
The Century, ensconced in the vibrant heart of Soho, is a members club that celebrates the enduring spirit of creativity and innovation.
Founded in 2001, the club quickly gained a reputation as a hub for artists, writers, musicians, and other creatives. Its expansive yet intimate setting created an environment where members could mingle with like-minded individuals and share their work in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Today, it is a space that embodies the very essence of Soho, where the creative and the curious come together to engage, collaborate, and innovate.
Our Spaces
Set across three buildings in Soho, The Century offers a relaxing environment with lounges, meeting rooms, event spaces, a dining room and excellent food and drink. And its outstanding feature is its roof, whose three terraces offer unparalleled views across the capital with all-year-round access.
Eat & Drink
Our head chef and his team provide quality cuisine around the clock. All our ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced and our wine list is carefully chosen from independent suppliers. We also offer a full range of plant-based options.
Arts & Culture
The Century is a creative destination with a programme that titillates, entertains and amuses. We strive to unearth the capital’s most exciting artists, from revered luminaries to fresh new talent, and give them a space to flaunt their best work.

- Amidst Soho’s flourishing folk scene of the mid-60s, Jackson C. Frank released a masterpiece album, produced by fellow American expat Paul Simon. Close to Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, Frank was a vital influence on a generation of musicians, inspiring artists as diverse as Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Counting Crows, Graham Coxon, John Mayer and Laura Marling. Yet, after the release of his album, Frank vanished without a trace. Struggling with physical disabilities and severe PTSD from a childhood tragedy, his mental health declined while, paradoxically, his musical influence grew in his absence. Years later, a young fan set out to find him, and this film retraces those steps, untangling the haunting story of a unique artist with a tragic fate. We’re delighted to be hosting this powerful documentary at Century in partnership with Doc’n Roll, bringing Jackson C. Frank’s remarkable yet heartbreaking legacy back into focus in the very heart of Soho, where his story began.
