Home House Celebrates 25 Years
Home House proudly announces the celebration of its 25th anniversary, as this winter marks a quarter-century since London’s iconic members club opened its doors transforming the landscape of traditional members’ clubs in London and beyond.
A shrine to hedonism in the centre of London, Home House was originally commissioned by Lady Home as a sophisticated palace designed purely for enjoyment to entertain London’s high society of the 18th century. Famous at the time, Lady Home earned the nickname “Queen of Hell” for her “irascible behaviour and lavish parties”. Designed in 1773 by leading architects James Wyatt and Robert Adam, the walls that were home to many famous personalities throughout the years still host a collection of colourful characters and individuals today.
From Madonna making the Lady Islington Suite her home, to young royals partying until the early morning hours; from Pamela Anderson’s iconic birthday party to Annie Lennox’s fairy-tale wedding, Home House has played host to a tapestry of events that have left a mark on London’s culture and society. Famous faces like Paul McCartney and Boy George mingle with regular members, all of whom share a common love for ‘their club’.
To commemorate this milestone, Home House unveils a spectacular line up of events, including a special anniversary edition of its iconic Halloween House Party on Friday, 27th October 2023 and the grand New Year’s Eve Anniversary Ball on Sunday, 31st December 2023.
25th Anniversary Halloween House Party

This year’s theme ‘Infamous 25′ invites members and guests on a spine-chilling journey through the House as they revisit the club’s most hair-raising Halloween highlights of the past 25 years; from ‘The Altar: Till Death Do Us Part’, to ‘The Unfairground: Rollercoaster crash’. The entire club will be transformed with eerie entertainment and show-stopping performances to celebrate 25 years of revelry and debauchery.
New Year’s Eve 25th Anniversary Ball
As the crowning jewel of the anniversary celebrations, Home House’s 25th Anniversary New Year’s Eve Ball is set to take place on 31st December 2023. The club’s expert culinary team has meticulously crafted a special menu, and members and guests can expect live performances throughout the evening and a special surprise at midnight. Each floor will be transformed into a haven of elegance, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of dancing and celebration.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the rich history of Home House and its 25-year journey as a private members club.” said Andrew Richardson, Managing Director at Home House Collection. “The anniversary events are a reflection of our commitment to excellence and the enduring allure of the Home House experience.
