Mysterious 'no-phones' London nightclub loved by celebrities announces new home in heart of the city

A London nightclub frequented by celebrities which operates a strict no-phones policy has found a new home in the heart of the capital.

The elusive club, called Lost, enticed many intrigued partygoers who wondered what was going on behind closed doors.

Located on Shaftesbury Avenue, the mysterious venue was open for just eight months before it shut down earlier this year.

It has drawn the attention of many celebrities, due to its no-phone policy, which requires guests to place their devices in a magnetic pouch that is locked upon arrival, as well as the spiralling maze of rooms filled with cinema screenings, live bands and DJs.

After months of speculation, Lost has revealed it will be returning and has confirmed the venue, one that will likely appeal to many of its patrons.

In an Instagram post shared to its 65,000 followers, the nightclub wrote: “Lost community. We have secured the former London College of Fashion.

“An entire block on Oxford Street to reimagine the heart of London, we want to build this with you,” it said, encouraging people to sign up to its mailing list to stay updated.

Formally situated in the old Odeon Shaftesbury Avenue, the temporary club announced earlier this month that it would be returning.

A statement said: “We have uncovered a city within a city. A 24-hour district in the heart of London. We want to build it with you.

“No phones. No line up. November 2026.

“Missed you. See you soon.”

The mystery surrounding the nightclub has seen celebrities such as Charli xcx, Olivia Rodrigo and Central Cee attend the party without the intrusive gaze of mobile phones.

The Standard’s Jordan Page, who visited Lost in May before it closed, said the “banishment of phones” was “refreshing” and called the party the “defining night out of the 2020s”.

“Whatever the next edition looks like, the first iteration of Lost achieved something that many thought a club in 2026 couldn’t — it got us excited about going out in central London again.”
