BAM Karaoke Box Victoria is Europe's largest and most premium karaoke venue with 22 individually designed private karaoke rooms, 2 cocktails bars, a restaurant (with high-quality food designed by celebrity chef Sabrina Gidda) and live entertainment every night of the week. Karaoke in the UK has typically not been known for being high-end, but Arnaud Studer (BAM's Founder and CEO) was inspired by an outing in Japan and took the idea back to Paris where he launched private elegant karaoke rooms, with room-delivered champagne and caviar.
With 450 person capacity across a 10,000 sq ft space, BAM Victoria in London has been built like a large house and its design is inspired by the local story of Nell Gwyn, the mistress of King Charles II of England who lived in Victoria. Nell Gwyn used to host extravagant and wild house parties with everything from exotic animals roaming around, to corsetry and carriages, and red-light-distric vibe rooms. The architects, Brady Williams, known for projects such as The Maine in Mayfair and Bob Bob Ricard, created a wonderland playground for guests to explore and get lost in.
Each of BAM's 22 karaoke rooms at BAM has its own bespoke design, whisking you away to the magic of another world for the evening. High-quality equipment, next-level sound, music games and in-room recording mean you can create an unforgettable karaoke experience to be relived the next day. Plus BAM has a cenralised cocktail bar called the BAM BAM Bar which can fit 200 standing capacity and is perfect for all activties from day-time conferences, lunches, evening soirees, performances and corporate Christmas dos. BAM can do it all!
From the moment you step foot into BAM Victoria, you are whisked away into another world of pure fun, playfulness and joy.
The excitement and allure of Nell Gwyn's tantalizing life, the many parties she threw, and the socialites and artists she surrounded herself with are the epitome of the energy and excitement that every BAM house strives to achieve.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by lush gardens and a whimsical terrace evoking Nell Gwyn's heyday. The bijou bar, adorned with opulent murals, sets the tone for fun and frivolity. Vibrant colours and eclectic decor blend old and new for a relaxed atmosphere. The contemporary graffiti-style façade of Nell Gwyn’s house invites exploration whilst abundant planting creates a magical aesthetic. A grand staircase descends to the BAM BAM Bar, where deconstructed chandeliers and sumptuous fabrics evoke a bygone era, marking the beginning of a journey into Gwyn's imaginative world.
Through dim-lighting and illustration, a twisted world of a bygone era set firmly in the modern day, transports guests through a real and imagined world. The downstairs bar (the BAM BAM Bar) plays host to premium cocktails, modern European sharing bites & mains, whilst watching live performances - everything from DJs, bands, up & coming musicians, brunches, music trivia or open mic nights (for those feeling brave to take to the stage). A playground for everything music. No matter what day of the week you come to BAM the mood is set, and the party is ready to be started.
Each karaoke room submerges the guests in a world of magical escapism. The carefree and relaxed, whimsical, and alluring design ensures that the BAM ethos of everyone feeling free and comfortable to be themselves is part of BAM's identity. No rules, no judgement.
At BAM Karaoke Box Victoria, eco-friendly practices and social responsibility are embedded into our operations and our culture. As part of our wider Corporate Social Responsibility framework, we are committed to creating positive impact through thoughtful sourcing, sustainable event practices and meaningful community engagement.
A key focus is supporting local suppliers wherever possible, from food and beverage partners to production vendors, reducing transport emissions while reinvesting in our local economy. We also work with charitable initiatives throughout the year, donating experiences, volunteering time and using our platform to spotlight causes that resonate with our teams and community.
Sustainability is integrated into the way we deliver private hire events. We prioritise recyclable and reusable materials, minimise single-use products, and ensure waste is separated and processed responsibly. Our AV technology is fully built-in across the venue, significantly reducing the need for temporary equipment hires, transport and additional power draw. This not only streamlines event setup but also lowers the footprint of every production.
Social responsibility is also one of our core values. We hire inclusively, embrace diverse creative talent and foster a workplace that supports individuality, growth and wellbeing. Our entertainers and staff create a welcoming, safe and empowering environment for guests, ensuring that every person feels seen, celebrated and able to express themselves freely.
Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to being both environmentally conscious and socially responsible, ensuring that every BAM experience has a positive impact beyond the event itself.
BAM's festive food menu was curated by renowned celebrity chef Sabrina Gidda, serving a modern European crowd-pleaser menu, reflecting the vibrant spirit and attitude of London. Sabrina’s signature blend of eclecticism includes sharing plates; BAM fried chicken with hot honey mustard, shrimp cocktail or roast beef croustade, smoked salmon blini, glazed chipolatas and fried sprouts. Guests can dine in the BAM BAM Bar for a full meal including mains; the signature age chuck smash burger (made with a HG Walter), smoked salmon tartare, salade BAM or the Ooh La `La London caviar platter for those wanting to push the boat out.
BAM's drinks menu features a diverse selection, including signature and classic cocktails with a twist, designed by BAM’s resident cocktail consultant, Julian de Féral. Examples include Proud Nelly with Citadelle “No Mistake” Old Tom gin, yuzu liqueur, lychee nectar, and shiso bitters, Spotlight featuring The English “Smokey” whisky, umeshu, and ginger liqueur, and Victoreador blending Curado Espadin tequila, apricot brandy, Espelette liqueur, Champagne, and soda. The bar also offers craft beers, wine, champagne, and luxury shots, such as the nitro baby guiness. Over the festive season BAM is home to Moët & Chandon's champagne vending machine for those wanting to add an Instagrammable moment to their evening.
All food and drink can be delivered directly to your room at the touch of a button from our in-room ordering systems, or at the BAM BAM Bar, which promises to be the ultimate destination for post-performance food and drinks or for enjoying pre-karaoke.
Our commitment to smooth, high-quality delivery is rooted in a meticulous, process-driven approach that involves every department working in harmony. Each team, from bar, food, tech, hosts, sales and marketing are all assigned clear planning responsibilities and collaborates closely to ensure every detail is executed to perfection. We schedule multiple planning calls and pre-event meetings with clients to guarantee clear communication, alignment of expectations and best-practice preparation.
Internally, weekly sales and operations meetings ensure that all upcoming event requirements are communicated, refined and anticipated in advance. On event days, we adopt a true “all hands on deck” approach, where departments work seamlessly together to deliver the best service. Importantly, for all private events, our sales team provides on-site support, an added layer of service rarely offered by other venues, and one that clients consistently value. Post-event, every client receives a full debrief, complemented by an internal review. These sessions allow us to celebrate successes, analyse learnings and continuously elevate the BAM experience. This culture of constant refinement ensures each event we deliver is even better than the last.
Because karaoke is at the heart of our concept, superior sound quality is non-negotiable. Our team conducts weekly, and often daily, audio checks led by sound technicians and performers to maintain flawless performance standards. We also regularly expand our karaoke library of more than 47,000 songs, ensuring inclusivity for all guests, with tracks available in multiple languages so everyone can fully participate.
Finally, we work only with top-tier entertainment talent who embody the inclusive, engaging energy that defines BAM. Their professionalism and charisma ensure that every guest feels welcomed, supported and part of something special.
This comprehensive, collaborative and quality-first approach is what makes our events run seamlessly and what sets BAM Karaoke Box Victoria apart from the rest.
