Gallery Club London Dress Code: What to Wear in Kensington
Gallery, at 2A Kensington High Street, was named Best New Nightclub 2025 by the London Nightlife Awards and is run by the team behind Boujis and B London — so the room is dressy and the door means it. This is what its dress code asks for, what to wear and what not to bother trying.

Smart and stylish. Gallery does not allow sportswear, trainers, shorts or ripped clothing. It is strictly 18+, and there are no walk-ins at all, so you arrive with a booking confirmed.
| Wear | Leave at home |
|---|---|
| Leather shoes, loafers, boots, heels | Trainers |
| Tailored trousers or clean dark jeans | Shorts, ripped jeans |
| Shirt, knit, overshirt or a smart dress | Sportswear, tracksuits, gym gear |
| Physical photo ID | A photo of your ID on your phone |
What to wear: men
- Leather shoes, loafers or boots — trainers are not allowed.
- Tailored trousers or dark, clean jeans without rips.
- A shirt, a fine knit or an overshirt; a jacket works well in the colder months.
- Understated beats loud: Gallery is a dressy room, and good fit counts for more than big logos.
What to wear: women
- A dress, a skirt or smart trousers with a dressy top.
- Shoes you can dance in — the Club Room is built around the DJ booth in the middle of the crowd.
- A light layer if you plan to move between rooms: Cubanista, the Tequila Bar and the Club Room have different moods.
- A small bag for phone, ID and card.
ID and age
Gallery is strictly 18+, and everyone in the group must carry valid physical photo ID — a passport or UK driving licence. A photo of your ID on your phone will not be accepted.
No walk-ins: why booking matters
There are no walk-ins at Gallery, so dressing well is necessary but not enough on its own. A table gets you reserved seating with views of the Club Room, a dedicated host, bottle service and priority entry — and for groups of guys it is the requirement rather than the upgrade. We book Gallery Thursday to Saturday; message us with your date and group size.
