Fifty London Club
Rumours invariably spell trouble for their supporters and insight into the world of “Fifties” had gone round many tables at which I had sat in venues far away with tales of riches, amazing times and wonderment. Let me just say that these are not rumours but hard-stone truths, Fifties is an amazing place. Let me [...]

24 London Club
Looking like a plush exclusive advertising agency from the outside during the day, 24:London transforms at night as kingly street fills with luxurious cars, well dressed trendy types and bouncers. The open doors to 24:London take us down a blue neon lit corridor into a large L shaped room beyond. With a capacity [...]

The Electric Birdcage Night Club
It took me a good year or so to realise that this establishment was tucked away and yet so close to all the action in the West-end, near Tiger Tiger, Haymarket and Leicester Square but I spotted it one valentines day on the way to another restaurant with a parade of [...]

Kensington Roof Gardens
One of the most beautiful venues in London is the prestigious Kensington Roof Gardens. Located on the 6th floor of a rather majestic building just off of Kensington High street, a lift takes party goers up by the group to wait in line for entry by the cloakroom. Entry is only possible as a [...]

The Salisbury Pub
Quite surprisingly the Salisbury on St Martin’s Lane in the heart of London’s West End, is a gem of a pub. From the outside it looks like an old poky pub where drinkers come in off the street to quench thirsts with a cheap ale. In fact once you slide in past the [...]

Vanilla Bar
Sitting silently on the road outside, where even on a busy London Friday night, few souls are to be seen, sits the smart entrance to vanilla. Inside, a small room with a staircase down to the basement, silence is dominating. At the end of the steps another doorway into a very heavenly lounge. Purest [...]

The Crazy Bear Bar
The Crazy bear bar is one of my favourties in London. It is a well hidden bar combined with a small hotel and restaurant near Charlotte Street and Goodge Street station. From the name you might expect hordes of teddy bears inside but instead you get a multi tier exclusive bar. Starting [...]

The Glass Bar
Feb 2009 - Glass Bar is now Closed
Glass Bar is stationed in a renowned side street just by Piccadilly circus station. Outside small bushes and large bouncers guard the entrance behind them. There is a wonderful effect on entry of passing through glass doors and then being greeted by a thick White (or [...]

Proud Club and Bar
Well hidden in the central plaza building of Camden Stables Market is the club known as proud. It is a popular club where tickets are better if purchased in advance and door-staff are unreasonable and unorganised. Inside proud is made up I three rooms. The one on the far left dipped in [...]

Tattershall Castle
Ahoy! Finally an affordable bar in the middle and I mean the middle of London, in fact a ship on the Thames itself moored up by embankment station. The tattershall castle promises amazing views of the river, the London eye and up river the houses of parliament. The boat itself is a large tugboat [...]
