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.
