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.

- Crime novels and murder mysteries have long fascinated readers and viewers, and in this talk, former coroner Dr Peter Dean delves into their rich history. From the deductive brilliance of Sherlock Holmes and the world of Agatha Christie to modern screen detectives like Medical Examiner ‘Quincy’, Dr Dean explores how forensic medicine has shaped both fact and fiction — and shares insights from his own work behind the scenes on shows like Silent Witness, Killing Eve, Midsomer Murders, and Unforgotten. A past president of both the Coroners’ Society and the Royal Society of Medicine’s Forensic and Legal Medicine Section, Peter brings a unique perspective on the evolving role of coroners and the intersection of forensic science with popular culture. Peter Dean Dr Peter Dean began his career in dentistry before qualifying in medicine and working as a GP in East London. He went on to serve for over 25 years as a Forensic Medical Examiner with the Metropolitan Police and later became Senior Coroner for Suffolk, retiring in 2018. Alongside his official duties, he has advised on countless crime dramas and consulted with authors such as Kathy Reichs, Peter James, and Jeffrey Archer (even appearing as a character in one of James’s books). His practice interrogates media, perception, and ideology, encouraging viewers to question the familiar and see from new perspectives. Committed to accessibility and inclusion, Jason’s work explores otherness, human behaviour, and the stories we tell ourselves and each other.
