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.

- “A warehouse of homicide…” With these words Orson Welles introduced his radio show “Tales from the Black Museum”. The Crime Museum, (aka the Black Museum) is a training collection located in New Scotland Yard, which is closed to the public. It contains objects connected to crimes dating back to the nineteenth century. The collection includes death masks, poisons, evidence from the crimes of Dr Crippen, the Krays, Neville Heath, Thomas Cream and John Christie. In the early twentieth century special guest visitors included Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini and one visitor who would later feature in the museum’s collection… The museum details the methodology of how crimes are committed and investigated, including developments in forensics and technology, from the first conviction for murder using a fingerprint in 1905 to a recreation of a crime scene in miniature. In this talk Clare Smith will talk about the founding and purpose of the museum, look at a selection of the infamous cases that are part of the collection and consider how the museum has appeared in popular culture. This talk will also look at the challenges of interpreting and caring for a collection that can include everything from weapons to a violin. CLARE SMITH Dr Clare Smith is the Curator of the Metropolitan Police Museum. Clare has over twenty years of museum experience. Her PhD examined the cinematic depiction of Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders. Clare has published on masculinity and gender in cinema and depictions of victims and detectives on screen.
