Maison Close Guestlist: How to Get into Maison Close London

Maison Close has quickly become one of the most talked-about clubs in Mayfair, and getting through the door on a busy night is not always straightforward. Whether you are visiting for the first time or planning a night out with friends, understanding how the guestlist works will give you the best chance of a smooth entry.

Here is everything you need to know about the Maison Close guestlist, how to get on it, and what to expect when you arrive.

What Is the Maison Close Guestlist?

The guestlist at Maison Close is a pre-approved entry list that allows you to skip the general queue and enter the club with reduced or waived entry fees. Unlike a table reservation, the guestlist does not guarantee you a seated area or bottle service. It simply confirms that the club is expecting you and your group.

Most Mayfair clubs operate a similar system, and Maison Close is no different. Getting your name down in advance is one of the most reliable ways to get through the door, particularly on peak nights like Fridays and Saturdays.

How to Get on the Maison Close Guestlist

The simplest route is to request guestlist through a trusted promoter or booking service. You can contact us on WhatsApp to get your name added for any upcoming night.

When submitting a guestlist request, you will typically need to provide:

Full names of everyone in your group
The date you plan to attend
Group size and the ratio of men to women
A contact number so the promoter can reach you on the night

Requests should be submitted as early as possible. Sending your details on the day is sometimes fine for quieter midweek nights, but for weekends you should aim to have your name down at least 24 to 48 hours in advance.

Best Nights to Use the Guestlist

Maison Close runs events throughout the week, but the guestlist experience varies depending on the night.

Fridays and Saturdays

These are the busiest nights and the hardest to get in on guestlist alone. Door selection is stricter, and groups with an unfavourable gender ratio may struggle. If you are a group of men, pairing up with female friends or considering a table is worth thinking about.

Thursdays

Thursday is increasingly popular at Mayfair clubs, and Maison Close is no exception. The guestlist is generally easier to secure, and the door policy tends to be slightly more relaxed while the crowd remains strong.

Midweek (Monday to Wednesday)

Guestlist spots are usually available with less notice, and the door is more accommodating. These nights work well for smaller groups or first-time visitors who want to experience the venue without the weekend intensity.

What to Expect at the Door

Arriving with your name on the guestlist does not guarantee automatic entry. Maison Close, like most Mayfair clubs, reserves the right to refuse entry at the door based on appearance, behaviour, and group composition.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Arrive between 10:30pm and midnight. Most guestlist windows close around 12:30am, and arriving too late may mean your spot has been released.
Dress appropriately. Maison Close has a smart dress code. Trainers, sportswear, and overly casual outfits will get you turned away. Check our Maison Close dress code guide for full details on what to wear.
Have ID ready. You will need photo identification, and everyone in the group should carry theirs.
Be polite and patient. The door team manages a busy queue, and a good attitude goes a long way.

Guestlist vs Table: Which Should You Choose?

The guestlist is free and gives you access to the club, but you will not have a reserved area or dedicated service. If you are planning a special occasion or want a more comfortable experience, a table is worth considering.

A table at Maison Close comes with a minimum spend, a private area, and a dedicated host. For groups of six or more, the per-person cost of a table can work out to be reasonable when you factor in the drinks included.

You can check availability and current options on the Maison Close page.

For most casual nights out, the guestlist is the right call. For birthdays, celebrations, or larger groups, a table removes the uncertainty of door selection entirely.

Tips for Getting in on the Guestlist

A few practical tips that improve your chances:

Keep your group balanced. Mixed groups with a roughly even split of men and women will have an easier time. All-male groups of more than three or four may face difficulty on weekends.
Confirm your attendance. If your promoter messages you on the day to confirm, reply promptly. No-shows affect future guestlist access.
Do not pre-drink excessively. Turning up visibly intoxicated is one of the fastest ways to be refused, regardless of whether your name is on the list.
Have a backup plan. On the busiest nights, even guestlist does not guarantee entry. Knowing a second option, like Cuckoo Club or Maddox Club nearby, takes the pressure off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Maison Close guestlist free?

Yes. Being on the guestlist is free and typically waives or reduces the entry fee. You will still need to pay for drinks once inside.

Can I get on the guestlist on the same day?

For midweek nights, same-day requests are usually fine. For Fridays and Saturdays, submit your details at least a day in advance to be safe.

Does the guestlist guarantee entry?

No. The guestlist confirms the club is expecting you, but final entry is always at the discretion of the door team. Dressing well, arriving on time, and having a balanced group all help.

What time does the guestlist close?

Guestlist entry at Maison Close is typically valid until around 12:30am. After that, walk-in rates apply and entry is subject to availability.

How many people can I put on the guestlist?

There is no strict limit, but larger groups should give as much notice as possible. Groups over eight are often better served with a table to avoid complications at the door.
