The Little Violet Door

The Little Violet Door, brought to you by The Little Door & Co, has boldly arrived in Soho’s Carnaby with all the subtlety of a herd of elephants on roller skates!.. Surely I wasn’t the only one predicting a new “little door” opening, right? I had, however hoped it might be a sparkly gold door, but I’ll take violet! Known for redefining the House Party genre, the bar group is famous for its colourful ‘flat-share’ concept to the hospitality scene, having successfully launched The Little Yellow Door in Notting Hill, The Little Blue Door in Fulham, The Little Orange Door in Clapham, and The Little Scarlet Door in Soho. With its newest arrival, think kitchen discos, late-night cocktails, and good vibes for all… Don’t forget to capture the obligatory bathroom selfie!

Formerly the swanky home to the iconic ‘60s music venue Bag O’Nails, step behind the statement Violet door and brace yourself for a wild mishmash of eclectic and contemporary interiors. Oh and prepare yourself for some severe flat envy! Expect walls adorned with colourful prints, disco balls, and shelves overflowing with an impressive collection of books and records, because why not? The flat boasts that distinctive lived-in feel – it’s like stepping into a real-life home, with a twist. Each room has its own carefully curated identity, adding to the charm and the shenanigans. I think I’ve found a new fave hangout in Soho… but don’t tell Scarlet!

Fancy hosting a flat party of your own?  Hire the basement area for an invite-only soirée. The best part? There’s no post-party clear-up!

House Party

A disruptive concept bar has just entered Soho’s nightlife scene: House Party is the rebellious sibling of the fancy nightclubs and bars in the West End… and I’m here for it!

The brainchild of British-Ghanaian musician, Stormzy, and the hospitality group that brought Cirque Le Soir, Reign and Dear Darling hotspots to the scene, Cream Group. The innovative concept launched with a star-studded housewarming party on Thursday 6th June, followed by its official opening on Friday & Saturday with a special £1 drinks promo!

House Party comes fully equipped with red cups, cozy sofas, endless pizzas, and delightful chaos, all without the hassle of planning and tidying up (trust me, I’ve been there as a Soho resident for the past 20 years; the post-party clean-up is no joke!). With seven unique floors resembling different rooms in a typical home (channelling rich aunty vibes), this experience goes above and beyond, featuring immersive actors, performers, and interactive surprises to truly bring the party to life. This is set to be the only place in London where bedroom-DJs-turned-headliners will once again become bedroom DJs!

Features include Stormzy’s first car, a retro 90s black BMW, beer pong tables, Pass the Aux for playing personal music, a Side Mission with clues for free drinks, and a hushed hotline for leaving Mystery Messages. Bookable Activities include the Karaoke station, Beer Pong tables and video games. Private areas are available to book on every floor including the Basement, Kitchen & Hallway, Treehouse, Living Room, Master Bedroom, Kids Bedroom & Roof Terrace.

You’ll find me in the kitchen by the DJ booth!
