Firehouse is more than just a nightclub, bar and acclaimed restaurant. For
members, it is no less than a home away from home where regulars are old
friends and first timers are simply new friends and visitors are always
warmly welcomed in the first floor restaurant. Set in a classic Edwardian
town house in South Kensington, west London, conveniently situated opposite
the Natural History Museum, Firehouse is a discrete venue for a private
party or a first date.
Firehouse is the proud inheritor of over fifty years of club history. The
address was first used as a nightclub and illicit gambling den in the 1950s
and in the 1960s became a hangout for the likes of Tom Jones, Jimi Hendrix
and the Rolling Stones. Having been a famous South Kensington landmark for
many years latterly as Bratts and then the Hudson Club, No. 3 Cromwell Road
became the location for Firehouse in September 2002. Lovingly restored and
refitted, Firehouse recaptures the style and discretion of a bygone era.
Each of the three floors offers a different mood and experience, from the
relaxed elegance of the upstairs restaurant, the Dining Room, to the
luxurious decadence of Boudoir, the downstairs nightclub, so exploring
Firehouse has never been so much fun.
