Lucky Voice Waterloo: Karaoke in London
Lucky Voice Waterloo is a private-room karaoke bar tucked inside Waterloo Station at The Sidings, under platforms 20 to 24. It suits groups who want their own soundproof room rather than singing in front of strangers, so it works well for birthdays, after-work crowds and anyone meeting off a train.
There are eight rooms holding anywhere from 2 to 20 people, each with a touchscreen songbook, two microphones and drinks brought to you while you sing. The single most useful thing to know is that you book by the hour with a two-hour minimum, and it starts at £8 per person off-peak. Book ahead, especially for weekend nights, because the rooms fill up fast.
The karaoke setup
You get your own soundproof room rather than a public stage, which is the whole point here. Each of the eight rooms takes between 2 and 20 people, so it scales from a small after-work group to a full party. Inside you pick tracks from a touchscreen songbook, pass round two microphones and order drinks straight to the room when you want them. Because the rooms are private, you can sing badly without an audience of strangers, which is exactly what most people want from a karaoke night.
Good to know
Booking is by the hour with a two-hour minimum, starting around £8 per person off-peak and climbing to roughly £11 to £14 at busier times. Advance booking is strongly recommended, and weekend nights go quickly. Drinks come via room service, with a cocktail list plus pizza and sharing plates, and there is a weekday happy hour until 8pm. The venue sits inside Waterloo Station itself, so it is one of the easiest karaoke spots in London to reach by train or Tube.
