Hedonistic nightclub Tramp to open huge new Mayfair wellness centre

For decades it was a by-word for hedonistic excess, a louche Mayfair nightspot where A-listers partied till dawn, rock stars swung from the chandeliers and George Best once picked a fight with Michael Caine.

How times have changed. The latest incarnation of the notorious night spot is set to be a 16,000 sq ft calming temple of wellness called Tramp Health due to open on Grosvenor Square next Spring.

Tramp’s current owner, nightclub veteran Luca Maggiora, whose previous ventures include Luxx, also in Mayfair, revealed the plans in an Instagram post in which he said: “Today is a big day for me and for Tramp, both as a member club and as a brand.

“It marks the beginning of something incredible: a wellbeing and fitness club for conscious living opening in spring 2026 in Mayfair’s most prestigious location @tramphealth.

“There are many people to thank, but above all, I want to thank Qatari Diar for believing in my vision and giving me one of the best spaces I could have asked for in London.”

Tramp Health defines itself on Instagram with the words “Assess. Nourish, Move, Restore. Strengthen, Belong”but no detail has been revealed yet on its facilities or membership fees

The new wellness centre is believed to be attached to the five star Chancery Rosewood hotel in the former US embassy building at 30 Grosvenor Square.

Tramp first opened in 1969 by founder Johnny Gold and quickly became one of London’s best known celebrity haunts attracting the likes of Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Mick Jagger, Princess Margaret, Joan Collins, Jack Nicholson, and later Prince William, David Beckham and Rihanna.

It wes famed for hosting three James Bonds in a single night, when Roger Moore, Sean Connery and George Lazenby all dropped by for dinner at the same time.

The venue was bought by Maggiora in 2023 and he spent £12 million on a lavish refurbishment before reopening in September last year.

Tramp Health is not the first wellness venture in London from the Italian born former financial analyst.

In 2021 he co-founded House of Wisdom near Great Portland Street in central London.
