Did you know

The building housed an earlier Peckham Palais club that closed in 2011. The revived Palais opened in February 2026 with a Funktion-One sound system in the basement.

Local tip

Phones are not allowed on the dancefloor. Time Out lists weekend closing times of 4am to 5am. For a calmer start, the first-floor Ballroom cocktail bar takes table bookings through the official site.
