Cloaks at the ready, folks – because tonight’s the night that four weeks of Oscar-worthy performances, questionable spelling, and high-camp drama come to a captivating climax. The Traitors has had us all in a chokehold since the moment we watched 25 strangers hop aboard a steam train on New Year’s Day. And although the show’s outcome is currently as precarious as Anna’s rope-tying skills; one thing is for certain – the final episode of the ultimate game of deception is not to be missed. And here are all the places in London (well, the ones that aren’t already completely sold out) that will be holding watch parties to mark the occasion. Oh my god, who the hell is going to win?
1. Dalston Superstore, Dalston
East London’s ‘big queer pleasure palace’ is (of course) throwing a watch party, with a host a to rival Claudia Winkleman herself – Barbs. The beloved London drag queen will be donning her finest fringe and chunkiest knitwear to host an evening of fun, frivolity, and faithfulness. Dalston Superstore’s screening is completely free to attend and no ticket is required, but you’ll need to get down there early to secure your spot. And – of course – just a friendly reminder to be respectful and conscious of who the space is intended for.

2. Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Vauxhall
London’s legendary LGBTQ+ entertainment venue, Royal Vauxhall Tavernis also getting in on the treacherous action. They’ll be opening their doors at 8.15pm (yes, just 15 minutes before the show starts), and welcoming guests to watch the finale, and then stay for a boogie into the early hours of the morning with DJs, Cowlick and Gordon John. Entrance will cost £9and although online tickets are now completely sold out, there will be some tickets available on the door.

3. The Two Brewers, Clapham
Clapham-based cabaret club, The Two Brewersis throwing a big old bash to mark the final episode. And none other than season one icon, Maddy Smedleywill be in attendance (and she’ll no doubt be labelling everyone as a traitor, a faithful, or a ‘not sure’). Tickets for their club night are sold out, but they’ll be screening the episode in their front room for free.

📍 Ely’s Yard, 15 Hanbury Street, E1 6QR.
5. Tina We Salute You, Stratford
TV broadcaster, Scott Brian, will be hosting the deceitful proceedings at Tina We Salute You. A Traitors-themed quiz at 7pm, a live screening of the final at 8.30pm, more fizzy rosé than you can shake a stick shield at. It sounds pretty darn perfect to me.

Whether you’re a fearless Faithful or a tactical Traitor, you’re welcome to come and have a knees-up at the Bermondsey-based Gosnells.
