Best strip club value in central London?

[Thebigdaddy]

Down here for work for a few days. Where and what’s the best strip club around soho / Mayfair? Failing that any good massage parlours worth a punt? Cheers all!

[pantywetter]

No good strippers around there.  It will all be a rip off.

Get to Browns in Shoreditch for a tame experience or the Nags Head I think in Aldgate for a seedier more hands on experience.

Check out Tantric Pleasure for a massage.  They have a Holborn branch.

[semmlerino]

The Dalston place is by far the best value for money, though it seems they're closed until the end of September sadly. Nothing else even comes close.

Other than that, I second nag's head - doesn't come close to what the axe used to be, but seems to be the best experience at the moment.

[Steely Dan]

If you really want Soho, the Sunset Strip is acceptable.  No touching or anything, but OK to kill 30 minutes.  Just watch for crazy up selling - they will try to get you to pay for 2 or 3 at once.  Just say no to that nonsense.

When you say massage parlours worth a punt, why not have sex in a Soho walk-up?  This is a punters forum after all. Punting >> Strippers.

Walk ups are only good for a quick p&d. There are times where I'd much rather have the chill experience of a good strip club. And they're also open far longer.

For strip clubs it depends what you are looking for.
For Amazing looking girls I'd recommend Stringfellows, then Platinum Lace near Piccadilly Circus.
If you don't mind a grotty place then try one of the strip pubs.

Anyone know what happened to spearmint rhino in London?  They looked to have re-applied for a license almost a year ago but says waiting for meeting. date.
 Companies house accounts say its closed for a landlord refreb.  Is it going to open - always thought that was the best in London.

[Thebigdaddy]

Thanks for the info guys. Gonna try the massage place above I think and then try and get that nags head place. Will let you know outcome

Rhino got busted for sexual activity.

It was too busy and had too many girls working, most of which were foreign.

In my opinion Plat Lace + Stringfellows were always better.

This place has been mentioned on the strip pubs thread, strippers long gone, just in case anyone suggests it again.

[Barstoolpreacher]

Is the Rainbow still open? Had some decent nights there and some shit ones. Always a bit of pressure from the girls but it had its moments.

[semmlerino]

Went to Metropolis, was curious because the reviews were good. Not worth it.
You pay 5GBP entry, which is fine, and don't have to tip the dancers. Looks-wise, the ladies are about average, you might find one that's just your type, but the private dances are NOT worth it. No touching at all. Who would go for that? Ridiculous.

[pantywetter]

Almost all lap dances in the UK are no touching.  It’s a rip off.  It’s why the Axe was so special.

How much does a dance cost in Metropolis, Stringfellows and Platinum Lace?  Assume it’s an arm and a leg job?

But usually at least they touch you, or are on your lap. But Metropolis was more of a table dance.
It was 20£. She did offer a dance in the VIP area, though seeing how lame this one was, I wasn't even remotely interested.

[Hansolo69]

The law stipulates zero touching.

Westminster council also had a certain distance stipulated that dancers needed to keep from customers.

I had plans to head over there on 9th Sep.

Been planning it for ages… is it confirmed closed down?

[Bond]

I like going to the Griffin, Browns or Horns once in a while to watch the stage dances, and, if I think a girl looks really hot, have a private dance. I'm not bothered by the 'no-touching' rule at all. If I want to touch a woman, I go to an escort, not a strip pub.

Don't know if that really is what the law says, but it certainly doesn't matter, as clubs can bend the rules.

If you know where to look, you'll see that they announced it to be closed until September 28. Apparently because people are on holiday.

Went 2 weeks ago for the first time, and there were few people, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not as I have nothing to compare it to.

[IG88b]

Thanks for the reply man. I suspect I’m not quite so up to date with websites…

I used to have J’s number, but got taken off the message list and hid number on phone for privacy, so I’ve always just turned up on a Friday and it’s always been open. Had a good time with Mason last time and was hoping to pop in next Friday…

It’s fairly uneven how busy it gets, I’ve been there on poppin Fridays and dead as dodo Fridays too, just pot luck I guess.

I’ll have to give it a miss then next week, unless something changes.

[LdnWalker]

I've always enjoyed the Nags Head near Aldgate Easy station. Lap dances are great there. Browns can have some attractive dancers on but they dance extremely far away in a private dance. Not really worth it in my opinion unless there's a particular stripper that you want to see naked.

[semmlerino]

It's beyond me how people could be satisfied with that. They all get naked on stage at one point anyway.

[LdnWalker]

Whilst I get your point, it's only 15 and I once did it as I recognised one of the dancers as someone who used to do some topless glamour shoots. To be honest, my decision making after a few drinks is not always the best.

Whites used to be amazing. You could literally have sex for 60 quid with some amazingly hot women.

Rhino definitely wasn't too busy in the last few years before the closure.  I visited a few times both on weekdays and weekends and it was almost dead.  Chatted to some of the girls and all said the club is never busy.  I've been going there for some time and it stopped being busy around 8-10 years ago.  The busy period was in the 2000's or very early 10's when you couldn't find a place to sit on Friday and Saturday's - definitely not the case in the last few years.

I've never been to Stringfellows but much preferred Spearmint to Plat Lace, much more relaxed atmosphere.

Plus 1 with the Griffin. Had some great nights in there. This strip pub is particularly good if you like getting up close and personal without having to pay over the odds for a lap dance. There is a sweet spot to the left of the stage; the pole is positioned pretty close to the edge so you get a great close up view of the girls inner thighs and lady garden right at eye level less than a metre from your face. I once witnessed a guy who was positioned there having his pint removed from his hands and the dancers naked tits pushed into the pint glass making an airtight seal. sufficiently tight that she was able to up-end the pint completely on her chest without spilling a drop. right tit, then left tit were immersed in his beer and then the pint handed back to him to drink!

Guess she had to wash herself somehow, all kinds of crap on poles and the stage floor let alone if some chancers have been rubbing and licking her tits.

Thanks Lilly. By the time I went there were no strippers there so had a wasted visit. There was a definite bad vibe in the pub as well so I walked.

Sorry you had a wasted trip, I did post there are no strippers some time ago, on the Axe thread I think, my mate says it is shut completely now and there was a licensing meeting this week.

There were 32 pubs around King George dock back in the day, catering for everything, gay or straight, it was party central, but everything is changing for the best 

[Duron]

Popped into the Griffin at around 2pm yesterday as I had time to kill. NO ONE THERE. No bar staff. No dancers. No nobody. No music playing. No dj. Then a girl on a phone breezed in from the back and said 'come in, more customers will come'. For what??? As I walked out, so did she, still on the phone. WTF?

[Splodge]

My two favourites are The Griffin and The Woolpack in Hayes.

I don't know why you would be surprised a strip pub would be empty in the early afternoon on a weekday lol

I popped into the griffin last night, as happened to be walking past.  first time in a strip place in 3+ years.  It was pretty dead and    about 10 customers and 5-6 girls.  I miss the mid 00s when these places used to be packed. Maybe should try horns, browns etc next time.   I know Axe has been closed. 

Never been to plat lace.  Seems to be two in central.  Which is the better one ? coventy street or leicester sq.   Are they as big as what Rhino was?   I used to go to Stringfellows quite a bit a few years back but was always the most expenisve option.

I'm a bit confused about the whole business with the numbers - last time I gave my number  to one of the girls, was called the day after by a different number but missed it, and was unable to get in touch with that number since - do they use the numbers to give updates about parties?

[IG88b]

Well when it comes to giving these stripper  girls your number that’s a whole thread! I don’t these days,  as these girls all have multiple numbers and phones etc, and your number can end up on other people lists etc, which may or may not be wanted. If you want to hook up outside the clubs it’s worthwhile, but know that your number could also get spammed with other stuff…

No what I meant was that this place’s organiser, if you give him your number, he presumably still does,  sends out a message with what girls were expected or booked for that week. This helps the girls out so their regulars can know when to come, and helps out the guys so they can judge if it’s gonna be worth it. Like I said though, I took my name off this list for my privacy which means I don’t k ow if the club is gonna be closed. May I ask the website where this info was posted? (Pm if necessary)

[myothernameis]

[myothernameis]

Why not share the web site on here, as this is more in line with what the mods would be saying.  Why share something in PM, unless there a good reason why it cant be shared on here

[IG88b]

I’m in the same boat. Can reply to others but not send a pm to a previously un-contacted member…

Damn.

Well the public posts with details of this club in particular has been the subject of other threads on here  being closed, and the organisers are particularly private, so it’s generally accepted that things stay within the confines of pm.

If were talking about a web site, and this site is in the public domain, and can be searched online by anyone.   Then posting the web site wont make any difference being found, or accessed

But if were talking about the club, in private, and message and phone no's then agree, this info shouldn't be post on a open forum.   But equally details of the club, possibly shouldnt be shared by pm.

Curious 7 years as a member on here, and no reviews, so what have you been doing for the last 7 years, and in the last few months, have you seen any escorts 

I have not seen any escorts for a while, due to cost as always went higher end.  i used to a lot back in the mid 00s.  I still use massage shops a lot, but as already been told not to post reviews about shops that do extra+ as it risks them getting into trouble and us losing access to them.  also the staff seem to ove so quicly you post and they are gone the next day.  i see you have been a member for almost 10 years, and only seen 10 escorts

If you lost the ability to pay for sex with escorts before you joined then why are you here 7 years on?  If you lost that ability after joining then...

There is a whole section about sex in massage shops so there is ZERO ban on sharing intel about such shops.  Who from management told you NOT to post in a suitable thread or section of this site?
If you are going to loiter here but refuse to give back because of some warped sense of protecting the service providers from their own business practices then you do not belong here, you should be lurking on SP support sites.

Indeed.
It is sufficient that anyone interested in the club can make an approach to it via it's published engagement channel.
Privately disclosed details are not for publication or exchange here, whether openly or via PM, just as is stated for SPs and their publishing or hiding of current contact details.

If a member finds they have lost their PM privileges then it is possible this was a mistake in administration BUT it is also possible that your PM activity has been reviewed and your abuse of it recognised by your loss.

[LLPunting]

Well the public posts with details of this club in particular has been the subject of other threads on here  being closed, and the organisers are particularly private, so it’s generally accepted that things stay within the confines of pm.

No, it is not generally accepted that things be PM'd that is just how those not respecting the privacy of the above organisers (or anyone else's) choose to break that discretion.  It is why the PM facility has been restricted and continues to be reviewed for abuse by individuals.

[semmlerino]

I'm a bit confused - so I have been banned from using PMs? I've never abused it and never PM'd someone on my own, only replied to one, so I'm not sure why I've been restricted.

In your case likely your limited contribution about active and contemporaneous SPs since 2015

Fair enough.

To get back to the topic at hand - I went to the nag's head again yesterday in the hope of getting a similar experience to last time, though it seems to be inconsistent, or they stopped having the more fun dances.

Had a private dance with 2 different ladies, both danced at a distance with no physical contact at all. Bummer.

[sparkus]

The Dalston place is by far the best value for money, though it seems they're closed until the end of September sadly. Nothing else even comes close.

Other than that, I second nag's head - doesn't come close to what the axe used to be, but seems to be the best experience at the moment.

TBF I have seen one bird in there recently who used to be at the Axe.  It is shabby though and some of the birds are well skanky.  Given you're paying over £30 for one dance (£20 plus admission, drink, constant pounds in pot) you could get more and fitter in 15 mins during a £40 P&D with a local Latina.

As he said, if you're after a seedier experience then yeah.

[somerandomfella]

So in the absence of Ye Olde Axe :-(, i went to Rainbow for the first time in years on a Friday night. £5, not worth it. More girls than guys in there which sounds ideal, but you don't get left alone for a second. Straight in with the upsell, minimum dance £40. No chance.

That place has had its day too but I did notice a while back that the quality of girls in there was way higher, possibly as the dances are quite vanilla.
