BGWMC

We're an East-end party-house! Tucked away off the beaten track (off Bethnal Green Road), just east of Shoreditch in London - that's where we are.

Since 1953 we've been a real east-end Workingmen's Club and we like to HAVE A GOOD TIME! Infact we hold regular social events each week. Some racy, others cultural and refined - but mostly wild and unhinged good-times. We’re not your typical ‘club’ venue! Not only do we put on a damn good night out… but we engage and encourage the growth of local artists, musicians, DJs, and performers; working wi

th them to create and promote all sorts of accessible events. We’re seen by many as a vital part of community life, surviving with our original purpose intact but reinvigorated with an improved programme of events! We produce evocative and interactive events, curating unpretentious happenings in the club and beyond that give guests not just a great time but an experience to take away…..
