Rex Rooms Club Guestlist: How to Get into Rex Rooms Club London

Rex Rooms is the basement club at 151 King's Road in Chelsea, in the space that was the 151 Club for decades. As The Standard reported when it was announced, the team behind it reopened the address as a two-room cocktail lounge and discotheque. Getting in comes down to two routes: the guestlist or a table. This guide covers how the Rex Rooms guestlist works, who it suits, what you pay on the door and how to give yourself the best chance at the rope.

How to Get Into Rex Rooms

There are two ways in, and the right one depends on who is in your group.

• The guestlist: reserved for ladies and girl-majority mixed groups. It is free to join and suits a small group that wants to dance rather than sit at a table.
• A table: the reliable route for all-male groups, larger groups and anyone who wants a guaranteed spot for the night. Tables start from £1,000 minimum spend. You can request one on our Rex Rooms Chelsea page.

Who the Rex Rooms Guestlist Is For

The guestlist is built around the balance of the room. Ladies and groups where women are in the majority are the ones it is designed for. A mixed group with more men than women, or a group of men on their own, is very unlikely to get in through the list, and we will tell you that honestly before the night rather than let you find out in the queue.

If your group is all male, a table is the way in. If it is mixed but evenly split, tell us the exact numbers when you ask and we will say which route gives you the better chance.

For the general rules that apply across London, see our London nightclub guestlist guide, and for what a guestlist place actually gets you, what is included on a club guestlist.

How to Join the Rex Rooms Guestlist

Send us a request with:

1. The night you want (Rex Rooms opens every night except Tuesday, from Wednesday to Monday).
2. Your group size and the split of women and men.
3. A name for the list, which the lead guest gives at the door.

We confirm requests within 12 hours, along with the arrival time and anything specific to that night. Joining costs nothing. Every guest still needs photo ID at the door.

What You Pay at the Door

Being on the list is free, but the club charges for entry on the night. The usual door charge is around £20 for girls and £30 for guys in mixed groups, paid at the door. On special nights such as Halloween or New Year's Eve, the charge is usually higher, and we confirm the amount when we confirm your names.

What Time to Arrive

Rex Rooms runs from 11pm to 4am. Guestlist names are honoured until the cut-off, and after that entry is at the door's discretion. We suggest arriving around midnight on a Monday and between 11pm and 11:30pm on a Friday or Saturday, when the room fills fastest. Arrive together: a group that turns up in pieces is often treated as separate smaller groups, which can change the balance the guestlist was approved on.

Being on the list puts you in a separate queue, not no queue; does a guestlist skip the queue explains how that plays out, and how early to arrive at a London nightclub covers timing across the city.

Rex Rooms Dress Code

The door expects smart, elegant dressing, and casual clothes are refused.

• Women: heels or heeled evening boots, with a dressed-up outfit.
• Men: smart clothing with dress shoes or clean, upscale trainers. Sportswear, tracksuits and scruffy trainers will not get past the door.

Being on the guestlist does not override the dress code. For more detail on what London doors look for, read our London club dress code guide.

Getting There

Rex Rooms is at 151 King's Road, London SW3 5TX. The nearest Tube is Sloane Square, a short walk along King's Road. The Tube will not be running at closing time on most nights, so plan a taxi or night bus home.

Guestlist or Table?

Choose the guestlist if you are a group of women or a girl-majority mixed group, you are happy to arrive on time and you want a lower-cost night. Choose a table if your group is mostly men, larger than a handful, or celebrating something and wants a guaranteed place to sit.

To request either, go to our Rex Rooms Chelsea page or get in touch with your night and group details.
