The history of 100 Wardour Street has been a kaleidoscope of entertainment over recent decades:

100 Wardour St has always been an important address in Soho. In 1964 the legendary London music venue the Marquee Club moved in, hosting music acts including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and The Sex Pistols, before closing its doors in 1988. In the 90s, Conran’s famous Mezzo took its place, before the basement was transformed into Cuban hotspot Floridita and the ground floor into pan-Indian restaurant Carom. In 2016 it reopened as 100 Wardour St.

We look forward to welcoming you for what will be a fascinating insight into the business world of the UK Fashion industry in one of London’s creative and culturally significant venues.
