Friendly Society

Friendly Society

Friendly Society, Wardour Street, London, UK

Friendly Society is hidden away in the side streets of Soho, and those who can find it are in for a treat. Inside you will find an eclectically styled bar with a relaxed atmosphere. The venue as a whole is something of a kitsch fever dream, with a ceiling full of barbies, glitter balls, and a room full of fish tanks complete with a bed! For a quirky night out with great retro music, this is the place to go.
