BAM Karaoke Box on Victoria Street (SW1E 6SQ) bills itself as Europe's largest karaoke venue — 10,000 sq ft over three floors with 22 private karaoke rooms, two cocktail bars and a dining service. Beyond the private rooms it runs a genuine open-mic stage in the BAM BAM Bar: free-entry open mic nights every Wednesday to Saturday from 8:30pm until late, first-come-first-served, plus Wednesday music trivia, Saturday brunches and resident DJs. Entry to the open mic is free (or £7 with a welcome drink). It takes both original material and covers and runs a house PA, making it an accessible, low-barrier spot for performers in central London.
