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.

- Celebrating 300 Years of the World’s Most Legendary Lover Join us for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, indulgence, and irresistible storytelling as we mark the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova’s birth with a masked dinner hosted by Ian Kelly, acclaimed biographer of the legendary libertine himself. Over a sumptuous two-course dinner, Ian will take us behind the mask of the man who has captivated imaginations for centuries — lover, spy, author, philosopher, and social climber. Drawing from his riveting and critically acclaimed biography, Ian unravels the real Casanova: a man as complex as he was charismatic. This decadent evening also celebrates the launch of Lynne Russell’s new show, The Painted Carnival, which will premiere on the Roof Terrace following the dinner—an artistic spectacle of colour, character, and carnival, inspired by Casanova’s flamboyant world. Masks will be provided for guests to wear in honour of the Venetian tradition. Mysterious identities, candlelit conversation, and a feast for all the senses await. Tickets are £40 and include a two course dinner. This art dinner is presented in association with Alinda Kring.
