Lucky Voice Islington: Karaoke in London
Lucky Voice Islington is a private-room karaoke bar on Upper Street, two minutes from Angel tube. You and your group get your own soundproof booth, two microphones and a song catalogue you control yourselves, so there is no waiting your turn in front of strangers. It suits birthdays, work nights out and any group of friends who want to belt things out without an audience.
Rooms hold between 2 and 20 people, and the single most useful thing to know is that you book by the room and the hour, with a two-hour minimum. Off-peak rates start at £6 per person per hour, and there is a button in each room to call for drinks and food without breaking the song. It is an 18+ venue most of the time, with limited daytime slots for younger guests.
The karaoke setup
There are nine private rooms here, each one soundproofed so your singing stays between you and your group. Every room comes with two microphones and screens where you queue up your own songs from a large, regularly updated catalogue. Built-in games like Pass the Mic and Feeling Lucky mix up who sings what if you want a bit of structure. On Friday and Saturday nights the venue also runs live DJs and a dancefloor, so you can spill out of your room and keep the night going once your booth time is up.
Good to know
Booking is by the room, not the head, with a two-hour minimum session. Off-peak prices start around £6 per person per hour, rising to roughly £9 to £14 at peak times (evenings and weekends). Book online, by phone on 020 7354 6280 or by email, and aim to reserve ahead for Friday and Saturday when rooms fill. Each room has a service button so pizza, sharing plates, cocktails and beer come to you. Closed Monday and Tuesday; open from Wednesday through Sunday with late finishes at the weekend.
