The Club's Facilities...
The Club underwent major improvements in 2019. Along with ‘re wiring and structural work to the building, the Jester Bar was extended; lift installed; hall completely refurbished and equipped with excellent stage lighting and sound systems.
A state of the art kitchen has also been installed. In 2024 and 2025 the bar area has been redecorated and refurnished and the bar itself improved.
Work also needed to be done to render and solve a damp problem in the iconic entrance hall and stairway. The old pasted Posters had to be replaced. This has been completed with Posters from decades of shows now adorning the walls, framed and providing a lovely welcoming ambience.
Our Hall...
The hall is at the heart of the club on the ground floor. It is the venue for our regular Monday evening concerts and events, while the adjoining professionally-run kitchen provides the capability to provide both formal and relaxed dining.
This area of the club is frequently hired for functions, auditions and rehearsals while some members use it to try out new material or programmes.
The versatile space can comfortably seat up approximately 80 people theatre-style or 55 seated Cabaret style (with tables) events. When necessary, the hall can accommodate up to approximately 90 people for a reception (seating around the sides and standing) and finger buffet.
Please speak to the club Secretary regarding the capacity you require. Contact us to book the hall HERE.
The club hall is available for hire during the week and at weekends whenever a club promoted function isn’t being staged.
The Jester Bar...
The well-stocked club bar offers a warm and friendly atmosphere for members and guests to meet and enjoy one of the least expensive bars anywhere in central London.
A venue for quiz nights and informal social meetings, this popular watering-hole is one of the club’s most frequented and popular facilities.
Offering a range of beers, wines, spirits and our own in house lager ‘Evening All’ in honour of past President Jack Warner and his famous Dixon of Dock Green phrase.
In-House Catering...
The club has well-equipped professional kitchen facilities which enable us to offer a wide range of catering options from a simple sandwich to a menu of hot and cold dishes for special events.
In addition to offering this range of services in the hall, the caterers are able to provide both hot and cold lunches and snacks in the bar.
The "Dixon of Dock Green Room"...
The Club owes a great debt of gratitude to Jack Warner (see history.) In his honour we have renamed our traditional theatrical Green Room the ‘Dixon of Dock Green Room’.
Comfortable and cosy, it displays much unique memorabilia of Jack Warner and his iconic Dixon of Dock Green TV series. . It also offers members a venue for those meetings which need a little quiet privacy.
Membership of the CAA is both inexpensive and invaluable for anybody who is a professional in the area of the performing arts or a performance supporter. Our Club Secretary will be happy to advise on membership and the details of what we have to offer.
