More about the Pigalle

Forties-themed late-night supper club. If you’re considering a more glamorous and alternative evening’s entertainment, head to Piccadilly and burlesque cabaret club, Pigalle. Inspired by the genteel, romantic elegance of the 1940s the club is located in an old tearoom and cinema dating back from the same decade. Waiters in Forties suits, big bands, live crooners and celebrities are all on hand to submerge you into another world – a sophisticated joint with a hint of subterranean subterfuge. Named after Paris’s red-light district, The Pigalle Club is decorated accordingly – richly decadent yet mysterious. Mirrored walls, wood-panelling and twinkling diamond lights provide the setting for an evening of food and entertainment which can range from the swinging house band, to DJs, cabaret performers and even the occasional impromptu celebrity act. Van Morrison and Shirley Bassey have both taken to the stage here in ad-hoc performances. An excuse to dress up (the official code is smart/casual), dine out and dance away, an invitation to stay up late at Le Pigalle is difficult to refuse. Best for: Big band and burlesque entertainment, Forties flamboyance, dancing, dining and dressing up. Did you know? The controversial soft-porn film 'Emmanuelle' was first screened in the building housing Pigalle.
