Top City of London karaoke bars


Though the City of London is associated more with countless Pret-a-Mangers and businessmen shouting into their phones, surprisingly, it has a (small) number of premium private karaoke establishments. With dedicated state-of-the-art karaoke technology and thousands of songs to choose from in the privacy of your own space, you don’t have to worry about revealing to a bar full of strangers that you couldn’t carry a tune with two hands and an empty bucket.


Or worse, you don’t have to annoy a bar full of strangers by hogging the karaoke mic out of a sense of entitlement born from possessing an amazing set of pipes. Tone-deaf or gunning for a Grammy, private karaoke rooms were made for you.

1. Private karaoke rooms at Lucky Voice Liverpool Street

Liverpool Street, London

Lucky Voice is in the warren of streets between Liverpool Street Station and Spitalfields. The karaoke and cocktail bar consists of 9 karaoke rooms with each room able to accommodate between 4 to 25 people. The rooms offer state-of-the-art technology and the iconic Lucky Voice ‘Thirsty’ button for room service so you can avoid queuing at the bar.


You don’t need a booking but it is advisable, especially at busy times of the year or if you have a group on the larger side. All standard bookings secure a karaoke room for two hours, but you can always contact the bar if you’d like a longer session. You can also book an area in the bar before/after your two-hour session.


If you need a break from the tone-deaf screeching of your mates, this City of London karaoke bar also offers a dancefloor with live DJ sets every weekend. In short, Lucky Voice offers you everything you need on a night out in one place: a party food menu, a full bar, and a private karaoke room.
