Scotch of St James

The Scotch of St. James is a nightclub situated at 13A Masons Yard, Westminster, SW1Y 6BU in London, England. Tucked away at the bottom of an alley it served as a prominent nightclub, live music venue and historically significant meeting place for London’s rock elite in the 1960s. The club opened on 14 July 1965 at the height of 1960s swinging London and replaced the Ad lib Club, which closed in November 1966, as a meeting place for the swinging London set and rock musicians. The heritage of the Scotch St. James was referenced when it was relaunched, after 25 years of closure, in 2012.
