What Visitors Say
The dinner was definitely not worth the money! We paid over £200 for tickets that included a three-course dinner. Guess what we got? Hummus with a pretzel, a tiny COLD piece of salmon on a bed of onions and a chocolate dessert. Every single dish was served cold. To make it even worse, everything was served in metal cold containers, making it feel more like eating in a bunker than a premium event. An acquaintance of mine had been doing intermittent fasting all day and was really looking forward to a proper meal, so he was especially disappointed by the dinner. What I found particularly disappointing is that there’s no way to see what’s included in the three-course dinner before buying the tickets. I can’t help but feel that’s intentional, if people knew what they were actually getting, many would probably choose the cheaper tickets. I also attended this show about five months ago and the cast was completely different. The overall experience was much better back then and this time it simply didn’t have the same atmosphere or quality.
Firstly the show and the atmosphere all of it was absolutely incredible. I want to seriously thank the front of hour team. I unfortunately took a seizure 5 minutes before the end of the show last night. The staff, Phoebe in particular, were incredible. They let me and my dad stay as long as I needed, cooled me down using ice and fans. Then sent me home with bottles of water and more ice to make sure I got home ok. They even took my details to check in with me later on. The care they took and the kindness they showed me was so amazing.
Loved the atmosphere and energy of this place ✨ Felt like stepping into a movie scene, as if you were transported back in time. Such a magical and beautiful atmosphere full of art, music and emotion. The entrance itself looks incredible at night and the whole experience felt surreal and unforgettable 😍
Amazing! Absolutely amazing, it was my first time experiencing cabaret and I'm so glad Katie Hall and Matt Willis took me on the journey. They were incredible, to be honest the whole cast was outstanding. I was fully immersed. The journey starts after walking down the stairs into the basement and watching the piano performance, head upstairs for another performance at the bar. It really sets the mood before you find your seat. I was in stalls front row after the tables and chairs, being that close to the action was incredible, the only downside was the tables and chairs are so close to that front row. This made it awkward to see around the person in front, especially when they shifted positions. So even with this annoyance I'm still giving the show five stars, anything less would be an injustice! The music and songs are catchy and you will probably find yourself singing them later. The performance was flawless and it explains the record breaking 7 Olivier awards! You should see this show! You need to see this show!
absolutely amazing show!!! loved the staging, direction and costumes! was completely mindblown. no photos of tbe inside because you are not allowed to take pictures upon entering the building but the whole atmosphere, it’s a special show at the theatre!

✨ Best For
Cabaret, immersive theatre, date nights, premium West End experiences and theatre-goers looking for something daring and atmospheric.
💺 Best Seats

Things to Know Before You Go
Which seats are worth prioritising at Kit Kat Club?
Cabaret tables in the Stalls for maximum immersion and interaction. Dress Circle front rows provide elevated views and stunning staging across the space. For a safer booking, also note: Avoid far-back corners of the Balcony where sightlines are highest and most distant. Some overhang can limit views from the deepest rows. Use that as editorial guidance rather than a guarantee; always check the live seating plan and any seat notes before paying.
Is Kit Kat Club a good venue for seeing Cabaret?
Yes, if you book with the production's scale in mind. Cabaret is currently listed at Kit Kat Club, so choose seats that suit this staging rather than simply buying the cheapest available ticket. For a first visit, a central view is the least risky option.
What kind of night out does Kit Kat Club suit best?
Kit Kat Club works best for Cabaret, immersive theatre, date nights, premium West End experiences and theatre-goers looking for something daring and atmospheric. The right choice depends less on dress code and more on matching the room to the production: intimate plays reward proximity, while spectacle-led musicals usually benefit from a more centred overview.
What should I know about access before booking Kit Kat Club?
Check the venue's official access page or box office before booking wheelchair spaces, transfer seats, step-free routes, companion seats or assisted performances. London venues vary sharply by level, and the most comfortable choice is often a specific access seat rather than a general price band.
How early should I arrive at Kit Kat Club?
Aim to be at the doors around half an hour before the performance, and earlier if you need access support, cloakroom time, box-office collection or a quiet drink. For older West End buildings, late arrival can mean stairs, narrow foyers and a less relaxed start.
What is the easiest way to reach Kit Kat Club?
Embankment is the simplest station to check first. The venue address in our data is Northumberland Avenue. For weekend visits, check engineering works and leave a little extra time around the West End and major transport hubs.
Where is the Kit Kat Club located?
On Northumberland Avenue, just off Trafalgar Square and 2 minutes from Embankment.
Which Tube stations are closest?
Embankment is 2 minutes away. Charing Cross is also nearby.
Which train station is nearest?
Charing Cross Station (National Rail) is under 5 minutes on foot.
How early should I arrive?
Arrive 30 minutes early — the pre-show atmosphere is part of the experience.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual is typical. Many guests enjoy adding flair or 1930s Berlin-inspired style.
Is the theatre wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Step-free access to Stalls, accessible toilets and designated wheelchair spaces. Assistance dogs welcome.
Are photos allowed?
Photos in the bar and foyer are fine. No photography during the performance.
Can I bring children?
Age guidance varies, but Cabaret is generally recommended for older teens and adults due to mature themes.
