Prohibition Themed Parties in London

Step off the Chelsea streets and seek out the hidden door. Murmur the secret password, just loud enough to be heard, and feel the modern world slip quietly behind you. Inside, low jazz drifts through flickering light, and a night reserved for those who know where to look reveals itself. Time begins to soften. Vintage details glow, conversations spark, and a cocktail finds its way into your hand, perhaps poured from a teapot, ice chiming softly beneath the music.

There is no agenda, no announcements. You’re invited to let the atmosphere lead. Energy builds organically, minutes blur into hours, and this 1920s Prohibition-inspired party in London carries you forward without demand or distraction. When the moment comes to return to the street, the city feels sharper, louder, more real. The door closes softly behind you, leaving the sense that you’ve stepped out of something rare and only briefly allowed in.

Inside, the shift is instant, you’re in 1920s Chicago, hidden in plain sight. What looks like an ordinary apartment reveals its layers quickly: art-deco touches, vintage curios climbing the walls, and a soft neon glow drawing you deeper in. It feels intimate, lived-in, and just forbidden enough to know you’ve stepped somewhere few ever do.

Listen closely and you’ll hear the soft rattle of shakers and low whispers. Follow your curiosity to the bar, where illicit cocktails are slipped across quietly, meant to be uncovered rather than announced.

A box of disguises sits within reach, not as décor but as an invitation for those who like to blend in. Stay awhile and the room begins to change: neon sharpens, feet move instinctively toward the floor, and the apartment gently lets its cover drop. Nothing is announced. You’re simply welcomed deeper into the night, part of one of London’s most notorious Prohibition worlds.

Some nights are best kept quiet. At Barts Prohibition Bar in Chelsea, you’re invited behind closed doors and into Uncle Barts apartment, lights low, the city shut out, as we slip you the keys. For the evening, it’s your own private speakeasy: no clocks, no curfews, just the freedom to raise a glass and let the night unfold at its own pace, the way it once did in the 1920s.

Bring up to 80 shady associates and take over the apartment. The keys are slipped into your hand, the bar is stocked, and bootleggers quietly pour tailored illicit cocktails throughout the night. Food appears as the evening deepens, while music lifts from easy conversation to a resident DJ-led rhythm that carries the party late behind closed doors. Once the door closes, the night is yours, an intimate Prohibition-style celebration, just illicit enough to be remembered.

Tucked behind an unmarked door in the heart of Chelsea, Barts feels like a secret the neighbourhood chooses to keep, the kind of place you only find when someone trusts you enough to share the way in. Step inside and you’re drawn into a hidden 1920s club with unmistakable charm, mystery and a quietly legendary reputation, the kind that makes Barts a standout prohibition bar London still whispers about.

You’re welcomed straight into Uncle Barts apartment: neon glows, curios crowd the walls, and Chicago-born secrets linger in every corner. It’s intimate, playful and just forbidden enough to know you’ve crossed into a world not everyone gets to see. Bootleggers greet you like trusted conspirators, cocktails appear with a hint of mischief, and the room hums with the ease of a speakeasy that never needs to prove itself. Lived-in, characterful and quietly thrilling, Barts draws shady associates back again and again, all eager for another night behind the door.
