Lucky Voice Waterloo — the ultimate guide to London’s private karaoke hotspot

If you love belting out Beyoncé one minute and ordering pizza to your private booth the next, Lucky Voice Waterloo is the sort of place that makes that dream embarrassingly easy. Tucked into The Sidings at Waterloo Station, this branch of the Lucky Voice family brings private-room karaoke, a speakeasy-style bar and party-ready vibes to London’s South Bank. In this post I’ll walk you through what Lucky Voice Waterloo offers, how to book, what to eat and drink, who it’s great for, and a few tips to squeeze the most fun from your sing-along.

Where it is and what to expect on arrival

Lucky Voice Waterloo sits under platforms 20–24 at Waterloo Station — you’ll find it in The Sidings development on the station’s ground level. The venue blends a small, intimate bar area with 8 private karaoke rooms (including a VIP room) so you can decide whether you want a cosy private party or a more open bar-style night out. It’s a convenient location for pretty much anyone travelling into central London, and the station setting makes it an easy stop before/after theatre, concerts or a South Bank stroll. The Sidings

Rooms, tech and the sing-a-thon setup

Lucky Voice’s private rooms are the core of the experience. Expect modern booths with comfy bench seating, disco lighting, a decent-sized screen, and a huge library of tracks — Lucky Voice markets an extensive catalogue (reports say the overall Lucky Voice library runs to thousands of songs). Rooms are sold by the hour and priced per person in many of their offers, which makes them great for groups. You get a proper mic, easy song-search functionality and, crucially, room service: press the iconic “Thirsty” button and cocktails, pizzas and bar snacks will arrive at your booth. Lucky Voice+1

Food & drink — karaoke-friendly menu

The food is built for sharing — small plates, sliders, bao, pizzas and easy finger-food that travels well to your booth. Cocktails are a focus too; there’s a full drinks menu and regular happy hour offers. Reviewers and local write-ups praise items like mac & cheese bites and a range of small plates; expect solid bar-style food rather than Michelin-star cooking (but that’s exactly what you want when you’re mid-chorus of “Livin’ on a Prayer”).

Deals, special nights and brunches

Lucky Voice Waterloo runs promotions that make it particularly wallet-friendly if you time your visit:

• Happy Hour — regular deals on cocktails and pizzas during early evening slots on weekdays. Good for warming up before your singing session. DesignMyNight
• Student nights — certain nights (often Tuesdays) have student offers on karaoke and selected drinks and food. If you’re on a budget, check the venue’s events page before booking. DesignMyNight
• Karaoke brunch / bottomless brunch — one of the more decadent options: private karaoke rooms with free-flowing drinks and pizza for a couple of hours on Saturdays. It’s a brilliant daytime option for birthdays or rambunctious weekends. South Bank London+1

Who should go (and when)

Lucky Voice Waterloo is a great fit for:

• Groups of friends celebrating birthdays, end-of-exams, or just an excuse to sing loudly in public without judgement.
• Office socials and team nights out — the private rooms and event hire options make it easy to host structured group events. Venue Search London
• Families — some sessions are family-friendly or have kids-and-family sing times, so you can even take younger singers.
• Couples or small groups who want an alternative date-night: post-sing drinks in the bar area can be a lovely wind-down.

Avoid peak weekend evening times if you want to skip queues for the bar, though private rooms will usually be pre-booked and secure that private experience.

Booking and prices — a quick primer

Booking is straightforward via the Lucky Voice website: choose a room size (rooms have capacity ranges), select your time slot and pay the deposit/booking fee. Prices vary depending on day and time, but rooms can be charged per person per hour for shared sessions or per-room for exclusive hires. Semi-exclusive and full venue hires are options if you’re planning a large-scale event — these come with minimum spends and package options. If you’re planning a special event, contact their events team for quotes and catering packages. hirespace.com+1

Real-world reviews — what people say

Local reviews generally praise the bright, neon-soaked decor and the convenience of getting food and drinks delivered straight to your private booth. Critics often single out the variety of the menu (pizza, sliders, bao), the huge song library and the fresh feel of the Waterloo site. A few reviewers note that some small plates can be hit-or-miss — but the overall experience consistently scores high for fun, atmosphere and value when split among a group. If food is a priority, treat it as tasty karaoke-friendly fare rather than a gourmet meal. ON IN LONDON+1

Tips to get the most from your Lucky Voice Waterloo night

1. Book in advance — weekends especially can fill up quickly, and private rooms are best reserved ahead of time. Lucky Voice
2. Plan your playlists — if your group has a few dedicated divas, plan the order or create a hit-list ahead of time to avoid mic hogging (or don’t — chaos is half the fun).
3. Make use of deals — check happy hour, student nights or brunch options to get the best price-per-person. DesignMyNight+1
4. Share the food — order a few plates or a pizza to keep everyone fuelled between choruses. Lucky Voice
5. Respect room time — private rooms are usually rented by the hour; leave a few minutes either side for queueing and settling in so you don’t lose precious singing time. Lucky Voice

Final verdict

Lucky Voice Waterloo brings private-room karaoke to a prime South Bank location with stylish rooms, a party-ready bar and thoughtful extras like room service and brunch packages.
