You can visit the Magic Circle headquarters (see below for details) which is in a building that contains a private library, a small museum, several “cabaret” style drinking/entertainment areas, as well as a small theatre on the 2nd floor.

The ground floor and the first floor are lounge areas featuring a reasonably priced, though modest, bar along with memorabilia displayed on the walls and in display cases.

There are magic artefacts throughout the building that tell the story of one of the world's oldest artistic professions.

The small museum in a small room in the basement has a number of interesting displays as well as a collection of magician posters as well as artefacts from many magicians over the years.

The theatre is on the top show with a small performance stage with seating in front and on a small balcony.

They do often hold evenings where you can visit the museum, experience some close up magic in the lounges then finish the evening with a small show in their theatre, booking is essential.
