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 Charlie Boyce 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.

- Why are we so captivated by the lives of musicians and bands, and how has that fascination been portrayed on screen thus far? How has the art of songwriting been depicted on screen, and what's the reality behind it? And how is music itself used in TV and films to enhance the storytelling experience? Join us for an exciting panel discussion exploring two types of music stories for the screen: stories about music and stories told by the music itself as soundtrack or score. Our panellists bring a range of expertise to the table, from composition and music supervision to screenwriting and production. The panellists will discuss their experiences, the challenges of creating powerful music storytelling and what the future of this art may entail. This event is open to Members and up to two guests.
