Celebrating Creativity… 🌤️

After more than a decade closed, Peckham Palais is reopening in February 2026, marking the return of one of South London’s most iconic nightlife venues.

Originally opening in the late 1980s, Peckham Palais became a cornerstone of Peckham’s nightlife before closing in 2016. The venue is being brought back to life by The NIGHT GROUP, the team behind Night Tales, NT’s Loft and Netil360.

The reimagined venue spans over 11,000 sq ft, featuring a 500 capacity basement club with a Funktion-One sound system, plus 'The Ballroom' - a 250 capacity bar and events space upstairs.

More than a reopening, Peckham Palais preserves a space with real heritage while adapting it for today’s creative communities. Its next chapter is a reminder of the vital role long-standing venues play in supporting artists, London nightlife, and local culture across the city.

The reopening kicks off on 6th February with Chaos in the CBD headlining the opening night, with more events and performances to follow.

About Handle Recruitment

We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
