London is not only the capital of Great Britain but also one of the world’s centers of fashion, entertainment, art, and… karaoke. In a city with a population of about 10 million people, there are plenty of karaoke venues, among which everyone can find something special for themselves. We have selected 5 top London karaoke bars that are a must-visit.
1. Lucky Voice (Holborn)
Website: https://www.luckyvoice.com/bars/holborn
Address: 84 Chancery Lane, WC2A 1DL
Karaoke prices: from £7 per hour per person
Lucky Voice is a famous chain of London karaoke bars, the most notable of which is located in the Holborn area. It is literally called a “temple of fun”. The venue can accommodate 80 people in the main bar and another 120 in ten private VIP booths that fit from 4 to 30 guests.
The design of Lucky Voice is tailored so that you never forget for a second why you came here—to sing and have fun. A noisy cocktail lounge decorated with velvet banquettes; a DJ; a karaoke booth where you can record your singing and immediately send it to all your friends. Each VIP booth is equipped with disco color and lighting equipment that you can control from a special remote. There are even disco balls in the restrooms. And for those who are parched, there is always a “Thirsty” button at hand, which summons a waiter with drinks.
2. BAO Borough (BAO KTV)

Address: 13 Stoney St, London SE1 9AD

Karaoke prices: There is no room rental fee; instead, a minimum spend policy on food and drinks applies (from £50 to £80 per person depending on the time).
BAO Borough is a popular Taiwanese restaurant near Borough Market that hides a real gem: a private KTV Room. It makes sense not only to pop in for an evening to enjoy singing but also to have a proper dinner, as food is served straight to your booth.
The pride of the venue is a massive catalog of over 300,000 songs in various languages and the atmosphere of an authentic Asian KTV. In addition to the festive vibe, the place is famous for its iconic steamed bao buns, so get ready for a pleasant heaviness in your stomach. It is worth worrying about booking a table or the karaoke room in advance—there is only one room for 12 people here, it is highly demanded, and getting in right off the street is practically impossible.
3. Lucky Voice Soho
Website: https://www.luckyvoice.com/bars/soho
Address: 52 Poland Street, London W1F 7NQ
Karaoke prices: from £8 to £14 per hour for one person (depending on the time and day of the week)
Lucky Voice is a popular chain of London venues famous for its combination of soundproofed private karaoke rooms and excellent bars. Lucky Voice is made for drinking and singing in your own company without strangers. If you plan to pass an hour or two with delicious cocktails and first-rate karaoke, you’ve come to the right place.
The club in Soho has a special history—it was the very first one to open in 2005, just a short walk from Oxford Circus. It features 9 private rooms accommodating from 2 to 15 guests. The venue is perfect for birthdays, hen parties, and fiery parties with convenient service right in the booths.
4. Star of Bethnal Green
Website: https://starofbethnalgreen.co.uk/
Address: 359 Bethnal Green Rd, London E2 6LG
Karaoke prices: from £49 per hour
At first glance, Bethnal Green looks very much like a typical London pub. However, this is not the case. As soon as you step inside, you realize that this is a very strange and very beautiful place. The Star of Bethnal Green is a new vision of what it means to be a friendly local pub with a variety of exciting entertainment. The pub is especially known for its cool parties.
The most important thing for us is located in the basement—a karaoke room for only 15 people. It is extremely problematic to get into the holy of holies of Bethnal Green without a preliminary reservation—the karaoke here is considered one of the best in the entire East End.
5. The Karaoke Hole
Website: https://thekaraokehole.com/
Address: 95 Kingsland High St, Dalston, London E8 2PB
Our fifth favorite is The Karaoke Hole in Dalston. If you are looking for something truly unusual, eccentric, and vibrant, this is the place for you. This establishment combines a karaoke bar and a drag show.
There are no private booths here—you will have to sing in front of the entire audience, but the crowd here is one of the most supportive and fun in all of London. The atmosphere is heated up by professional drag queens who host the parties, help with song selection, and regularly take the stage themselves. This is a place where you can feel like a real star, even if you can’t hit a single note.
