Scotch of St James Guestlist: Walk-In, No Guestlist

Scotch of St James does not run a guestlist. Entry is walk-in at the door; there is no guestlist. Tables can be booked. If you searched for the Scotch of St James guestlist, this page explains how getting in actually works, and how we can book a table for your group.

How to Get into Scotch of St James

There are two ways in, and neither is a guestlist.

• Walk in at the door. Arrive, queue and meet the door team. Entry is at the door's discretion, so dress to the code and arrive in good time.
• Book a table. A Scotch of St James table gives your group a reserved place for the night, with a minimum spend and bottle service. It is the way to plan a night that cannot go wrong, and it suits mixed groups, larger groups and celebrations.

Is There a Scotch of St James Guestlist?

No. Scotch of St James is walk-in at the door, with no guestlist to join, so be wary of anyone offering to put your name on one. If you would rather not leave entry to the night, book a table: we arrange tables free of charge and confirm the details before you go.

When Is Scotch of St James Open?

Scotch of St James opens on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 11pm to 5am. It sits at 13 Masons Yard, St James's, London SW1Y 6BU, and the nearest tube is Green Park.

The room is small and intimate, so it fills quickly. If you are walking in, arrive early in the night rather than late.

What to Wear

Scotch of St James has a smart dress code that reflects its members' club heritage. This is not the place for casual outfits or streetwear.

For women, elegant dresses, heels and polished evening wear work best. For men, tailored trousers, smart shoes and a collared shirt are the minimum. Sportswear, shorts, scruffy trainers and branded casual clothing will result in a refusal at the door.

Walk-In or Table: Which Is Right for You?

Walking in costs nothing to arrange, but it gives you no reserved area and no certainty at the door on a busy night.

A table is the better choice if you want a private space, bottle service and a guaranteed place for your group. Split across a group of six or more, the cost per person can be reasonable.

Tips for a Smooth Entry

• Dress to the full code. Shoes are the first thing the door looks at.
• Keep your group balanced. Large all-male groups attract the most scrutiny at any smart London door, and a table is the safer route for them.
• Do not arrive visibly intoxicated. The door team at Scotch is selective.
• Bring valid photo ID. Every member of your group should carry identification.
• Arrive early. The smaller capacity means late arrivals face a real risk of being turned away.
