CellarDoor is a tiny (60-capacity) underground cabaret and burlesque speakeasy tucked beneath Aldwych at Zero Aldwych, on the edge of Covent Garden — famously housed in a former Victorian gents' toilet that once drew the likes of Gielgud and Wilde. Today it runs free live acts from 8:30pm every evening, seven nights a week, until 1am: crooners, drag queens, magicians, jazz singers and burlesque performers across a rolling cabaret programme. With its intimate basement room and a cocktail list of signature creations (Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, Coco Chanel, London Calling), it's a performer-led night-spot rather than a band-and-PA pub gig, but it remains one of central London's most distinctive live-entertainment rooms. Nearest tube: Covent Garden, five minutes away.
