Update, October 2026: Tabu is now Rumour, open Wednesday to Saturday. This page describes Tabu as it was under the old name and is kept as a record; old Tabu prices have been removed because they do not apply to Rumour.
Tabu London was one of the best clubs in Mayfair, with a strong following among table clients and ladies on the Tabu guestlist. This Tabu FAQ covers how tables and the guestlist worked, and what has changed now that the club trades as Rumour.
How Much is a Tabu London Table?
Tabu's old table prices no longer apply. At Rumour, the club at the same address today, booths start from £1,000 minimum spend, covering entry for the whole group. The prices are a minimum spend, which means you pay for the table by ordering what you like from the menu until you reach the minimum spend.
