Funky Buddha Mayfair Has Closed: What It Was and Where to Go Instead

Funky Buddha Mayfair has closed. The hip hop and RnB club at 15 Berkeley Street, near Green Park, no longer opens. Its tables, guestlist and venue hire can no longer be booked. If you were reading up on Funky Buddha to plan a night out, the open clubs below suit the same crowd and music, and we arrange tables and guestlists at all of them.

Where to Go Instead of Funky Buddha

Funky Buddha was known for big, loud hip hop and RnB parties and a celebrity-heavy crowd. These open clubs are the nearest equivalents:

• Tape London, Hanover Square: hip hop and RnB with a celebrity-heavy crowd, open Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Time Out's Tape London listing gives an independent overview of the club. Ladies can join the Tape London guestlist.
• Reign, Piccadilly, a short walk from Berkeley Street: cabaret performances, bottle shows and a full club night, open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Ladies can join the Reign guestlist.
• Dear Darling, Jermyn Street, near Green Park: a cocktail lounge upstairs and a club downstairs, open Thursday to Sunday. Ladies can join the Dear Darling guestlist.
• Maddox Club, Mill Street, Mayfair: hip hop and house with a smart crowd, open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Ladies can join the Maddox guestlist.

Tables and Guestlists at the Alternatives

The booking routes work the same way they did at Funky Buddha:

• Guys and mixed groups book a table. As of October 2026, tables at Tape, Reign, Dear Darling and Maddox start at £1,000 minimum spend, which goes on drinks rather than being a separate fee, and the figure rises with the night and the table's position.
• Ladies and girl groups can join the guestlist at each club. We confirm the entry terms and arrival time for your night when you get in touch.
• Private events that would have gone to Funky Buddha's venue hire can often be placed at one of these clubs instead: contact us with your date, numbers and budget.
