Moyagi West End: Karaoke in London
Moyagi is a private-room karaoke bar tucked into the West End at 5 Cavendish Place, a couple of minutes from Oxford Circus. It pitches itself as a high-end, Tokyo-inspired spot: you and your group get your own appointed room rather than singing in front of strangers, with a song library running to about 150,000 tracks. It suits groups, date nights and anyone who wants the booth-karaoke experience without a crowd watching.
The single most useful thing to know is that this is a booked, paid experience, not a free walk-in. Prices start from around £20 per person and rise for prime evening slots. It is 21 and over only, and there is a hidden bar pouring cocktails alongside Japanese small plates. Best treated as a night out you plan ahead, not a spontaneous drop-in.
The karaoke setup
Moyagi is all private rooms, so you sing with your own group rather than a public crowd. The venue leans on a large song library of roughly 150,000 tracks and bills itself on high-end audio and a Tokyo-style, nightclub feel with red and black decor and 1920s samurai artwork. There is no shared stage and no queueing for the mic in front of strangers. If you have been put off by the standard pub-karaoke format, the private-booth model here is the main draw. Rooms are booked per group and slots are tied to specific time bands across the evening.
Good to know
This is a booked, paid venue, not a free or walk-in spot. Expect prices from around £20 per person, climbing for prime evening slots later in the week, with special packages priced higher. It is 21 and over only, so bring ID. Opening is limited: closed early in the week, open Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with the longest hours on Friday and Saturday when it runs late. The hidden bar serves cocktails plus Japanese small plates, and bottle service is available. Nearest station is Oxford Circus.
Who it suits
Best for groups marking an occasion, hen and birthday nights, or a date where you want something more private than a busy bar. Because rooms are booked and priced per head, it works better as a planned evening than a last-minute idea. The late Friday and Saturday hours make it a useful spot to roll a night into, while the midweek slots are quieter and shorter. If you want free or casual sing-along karaoke, this is not that; it is a polished, paid experience aimed at people happy to book ahead.
