Can you get into London clubs without ID? Between the people who forget their IDs and those who are simply curious, it’s a question we get asked a lot. This article will give you all the answers you need about IDs, which ones work, which don’t, and what happens if you realise you don’t have yours when it’s already too late.
Can You Get Into London Clubs Without ID?
No. It is not possible to get into London clubs without an ID. For everyone’s safety and security, everyone is required to present an ID when entering the club. Even if you’re over the age limit, you still need to bring an ID if you’re planning on going clubbing.
What Types of ID Do London Clubs Accept?
London Clubs accept a range of IDs. These include passports, drivers’ licenses, and UK national IDs. It also goes without saying, these IDs need to be physical and they need to be valid. While some venues might accept recently expired IDs, you don’t want to risk it.
Some forms of ID that are not accepted by London clubs are: age cards, university IDs, and digital passports.
Do London Clubs Accept Digital or Photocopy IDs?
No. Photocopy IDs are definitely not accepted, and neither are digital IDs. That said, in some cases where some of our guests have forgotten their passports, we were able to help them get in using their digital IDs to supplement another form of ID. In other words, digital IDs won’t get you in, but in some rare cases, they might, so it helps to have a picture of your passport.
What Happens If You Forget Your ID at the Door?
If you forget your ID at the door, you’ll be asked to get out of the line, and you’ll be denied entry. It’s not a death sentence, though. If you realise you don’t have your ID on you, you can always reach out to us. The earlier you do, the better we’re able to help you out. If you’re close enough to where you’re staying, the easiest option is to go back and grab it. If that’s not an option, there’s usually something that can be done, provided you reach out early enough.
Now that you know whether or not you can get into London clubs without ID and what to do if you don’t have yours, you should be all set. For any enquiries or London club bookings, let us know.
