Oh and we have not forgotten the weekdays either.... Think restful music prepared by our Dj maestros with classic films flickering across the walls whilst you lie back on one of our Victorian chaise longue's.

All this and all our cocktails are 2 for 1 all night weekdays as well. Heavenly!
Highlights this week
On Friday, March 12th "Oh What A Lovely Recession" returns with the beautiful "Anna Sambalada" and the wonderful "David Martini" on stage followed by DJ Paul Knight on the decks . Ours hosts will be dishing out free sambucca and tequila shots to all!
"Anna Sambalada" brings a Latino take on burlesque with her amazing carnival costumes , dancing and pole moves not to mention a great singing voice too. She does so like to involve the crowd too....so get your dancing shoes on boys and girls and prepare to be wowed.
"David Martini" comes to us straight from performing in The Rat Pack as our very own Dean Martin absolutely oozing charm & sophistication. In fact this guy is so cool he is practically comatose. Except for one thing ........ ....he does so so love the ladies. So don't be surprised when he walks into the crowd and comes back with a beautiful lady to sing a love song too. Top notch singing and improv from cabaret's self proclaimed coolest cat
After the shows from 10ish its disco and dancing with DJ Paul Knight spinning 80s, 90s with a bit of indie rock until carraiges at 2.30am. All aided by tacky original 70s/ 80s visuals and rubbish cheapo lighting for that real School Disco feel
Entry Complimentary all night (guestlist for guaranteed entry) - book your guestlist or reserved area online from our Bookings Page. But do come early as the shows commence at 9pm on the dot and our prima donnas don't like to be kept waiting! DJs and dancing after from 10.30pm ish till carriages at 2.30am.

"Miss Kitty" performing her new character "Marilyn Minelli" exclusively at the Peacock. Our little Blonde Bombshell starts off all Marilyn Monroe like performing songs like " I want to be Loved By You" and "Happy Birthday Mr President" but after the break returns as Lisa Minelli and starts singing hits from Cabaret. On Wow!
Michael Campari starts the evening off as "Old Blue Eye" himself oozing charm & sophistication but after the break comes back as" Michael Hadley" with his brilliant take on New Romantic classics from Spandau Ballet, ABC and Duran Duran. Complete with make up, lounge lizard suit oh and just oozing charm everywhere he goes. But don't get too close as he's not happy without a microphone in one hand and ... a girl in the other!
After the shows from 10.30ish its disco and dancing with our very own Eastenders celebrity DJ Dave DiskoJuice spinning 80s, 90s with a bit of Ibiza tinged disco and house until beach buggies at 2.30am. All aided by tacky original 70s/ 80s visuals and rubbish cheapo lighting for that real School Disco feel
Entry Complimentary all night (guestlist for guaranteed entry) - book your guestlist or reserved area online from our Bookings Page. But do come early as the shows commence at 9pm on the dot and our prima donnas don't like to be kept waiting! DJs and dancing after from 10.30pm ish till carriages at 2.30am.

Celebrate Mother's Day with a bit of style, panache ... and cabaret. Groovy mothers wanted to go on stage with Sinatra!
We are going for a "Hollywood Romance" theme so The venue - not to mentions staff - will all be dressed in 30s, 40s 50s attire so expect venetian masks, Marilyn Monroe films flickering on the walls and wonderful music from Frank Sinatra to Burt Bacharach (but please feel to come dressed as you are). Our chef Gianluca Martinese has prepared a special Mother's Day Lunch (from £9.95) and Mothers Day Afternoon Cream Tea (from £8) for the day. To round things off our very own Frank Sinatra "David Martini" will be performing at 3pmish and 8pmish to complete the perfect Mothers day

"David Martini" comes to us straight from performing in The Rat Pack as our very own Dean Martin absolutely oozing charm & sophistication. In fact this guy is so cool he is practically comatose. Except for one thing ........ ....he does so so love the ladies. On Sundays he is promising us a longer and more restrained set than his normal Saturday blockbuster. But don't be surprised when he walks into the crowd and comes back with a Mummy and Daughter or two to sing too.

"Stars In Their Eyes" for Hen parties, Birthday parties, Stag parties, Birthday parties etc
To make your celebration really stand out why not as well as booking a reserved area or cordoned off area take part in "Stars In Their Eyes". and be invited on stage from the audience by our singer who will sing you a love song whist you look adoringly into his eyes or dance away. For men we can pair you up with one of our female performers if you fancy being sung "Big Spender" whilst our performer writhes around you. For the more adventurous boys and girls amongst you we can also arrange for our trannie performers to do something a little or a lot raunchier!
Want to go on stage but worried about being too nervous? Do'nt be our expert hosts will talk you through what to do and guide you every step of the way. Oh and we only ever take volunteers on stage too. We will never let your friends press gang you on stage or allow people on stage unless we are 100% confident they will 100% love the experience.
Our professional photographer takes pictures of you and your group before, during and after the show. The pictures are then published on Facebook and on our website (see "Stars In Their Eyes on The Gallery Page).

Cocktail Lessons for Hen parties, Birthday parties, Stag parties, Birthday parties etc
Cocktail Making Class/ Lessons sound too much like hard work - not the way we do it! What we have done is injected a bit of burlesque, cabaret, theatre and inter activity to make an entirely new kind of cocktail lesson specially designed for party groups! We put you behind the bar and we show you how to make cocktails (no charge for this just the cost of the cocktails @ £4 each) for your friends who then proceed to drink them. We also teach you juggling (subject to your coordination and sobriety) as well as various flirting techniques and tricks. This includes the infamous "I will make you something special" hip wiggle raised eyebrow and hair flick.
And to cap it all off we and your friends score you with special cards we give you with comments ranging from "null points" to "you are a sexy beast who makes a mean cocktail" with a lot in between.
You do though need to pre book and it is only available to party groups coming early (eg 8pm or earlier) on Sats (Mon-Fri later is fine). See our Bookings Page and Cocktail Lessons Page

The styling
The Peacock is as effortlessly stylish as it is comfortable paying homage to a mishmash of styles from Rococo onwards.
Think Ercol 1950s table nests perched next to Georgian chaise longues with 50's Scandinavian modular sofas around a 60's G Plan Hi -Fi console. As you enter the bar there is huge Golden peacock to greet you and a Victorian pulpit at the back of the bar for our Djs to preach from.
All this set in a Victorian drawing room with a Chesterfield fronted horseshoe bar. Maybe it should not work but it just does!
The Peacock changes with the seasons too beginning the week as a comfortable and relaxing bar before turning into a full on club late night Friday and Saturdays.
See for yourself on the Gallery page
The bar
At The Peacock we have a drinks selection to die for. As well as those so-boring standard beers & spirits we boast London's widest range of Belgian fruit beers on tap and in bottles with over 25 different flavours. Classics such as the draught Strawberry Fruli Fruit Beer are complemented by more exotic flavours from mango through to chocolate via banana and lemon - come and taste for yourself.
On the spirits side we have an exclusive range of Monastic Meads brewed by monks in Suffolk - the choice of Kings since William the Conqueror but now available to non Royalty too! We also stock the full range of Geneva flavoured Gins - all thirty of them!
On a more modern tip we boast a world class cocktail and wine list designed by master mixologist Emiliano Casciello of Oxo Tower and Atlantic Bar & Grill fame, including his signature Taj Mahal - a Cosmopolitan with an Eastern Twist. He's aided by our hand chosen team of mixologists picked for their bubbling friendly outgoing personalities as well as great mixing skills.
However our resting thespian mixologists do like to flirt with the girls so do'nt be suprised when your order a cocktail if they say "Noooo isss toooo borrring I make you somethinnng speciallllll" with a little wiggle or two or three of their hips. Well we are a burlesque club after all - what do you expect?
At last Battersea and Clapham have a cocktail bar with real panache and style which does'nt take itself too seriously! We are more High Society than Lost Society (meeeeooow)
See our Food and Drinks pages for more details.
The burlesque, cabaret and Djs at the weekend
We begin the entertainment early at the Peacock at 9pm on the dot with two great burlesque & cabaret shows with anything from Sinatra to Tranny's on stage and we always include a lot of audience participation too!. Oh we might throw in a bit of comedy in as well if we think it's risque enough. After the shows from 10.30ish its disco and dancing with our resident Djs spinning 70s 80s, 90s, 00s tunes with a bit of funky house thrown in too until carriages at 2.30am.
On Fridays from 8pm-2.30am we have "Oh What a Lovely Recession" with legendary DJ / Impresario Paul Necklace of Living fame bringing you the best and the worst of 70s 80s, 90s, 00s - dance away the recession blues to the soundtrack of your life.
On Saturdays from 8pm-2.30am we bring you "It's a Party" with the wonderful Dave Diskojuice behind the controls for more 70s 80s, 90s, 00s treats just like your house warming party from many years ago.
