Are you in search of a unique and enchanting experience in the heart of London? Look no further than HOKUS POKUS, an extraordinary underground club in London that seamlessly weaves together the history of King’s Cross, Bloomsbury, and Camden. Stepping into this whimsical haven, you’ll be transported to a world where botanical concoctions, craft cocktails, and fine libations take center stage.
A Nod to Quackery and Discovery
Delving into the intriguing past of 19th-century quack doctors who embraced groundbreaking discoveries, we draw inspiration from these audacious characters. One such luminary was James Morrison, who, in 1828, founded the ‘British College of Health’ just a stone’s throw away from our establishment. His claim to fame? A universal botanical-based cure for all ailments, ingeniously packaged as pills to be washed down with lemonade.
Modern Alchemy: Distilling Botanical Pleasures
While we no longer claim to hold the secret to health miracles, the spirit of alchemy lives on at HOKUS POKUS. Under the guidance of Greg ‘Doc’ Chudzio, our team expertly crafts potions and elixirs by distilling, infusing, pickling, or even smoking botanicals. The result? A sensory delight that promises to uplift your mood, irrespective of the weather outside.
A Fusion of Eras and Aesthetics
Enter the realm designed by Henry Chebaane, a visionary British artist and designer. His creative prowess has conjured a fantastical space that marries elements of retro-futuristic steampunk with the charm of a 19th-century apothecary. Victorian engineering details, theatrical lighting, and a touch of British esoteric literature come together to create an otherworldly atmosphere that leaves an indelible impression.

A Glimpse of King’s Cross Heritage
