Got to visit the spy bar, no pictures allowed unfortunately. Also went to the guards room and drawing room.

The building is magnificent and full of history. The employees seem to have a lot of passion about their jobs and are very happy (atleast in my experience) to share stories, tips and spots to see.

- comments:
- you should ask the staff to explain the purpose of a room, or why it has been named as such
- didn’t like some of the music choice, not too in theme with the building
- there wasn’t a huge variety of food in the guards room. Best options seemed to be in the drawing room

Not going there again until they git rid of those bouncers. We had a table and the young guy in the front managing guestlist kept nagging me for a tip and then threatened to not let me in unless I tipped him. The other dude wouldn't let me in into the VIP section because I didn't have a bracelet. Exotic dancer ended up giving me the bracelet. The second guy also threatened to kick me out because I was conversing with one of the the DJs, which was my friend. Absolute joke this place.

Extremely bad service, we were overcharged for our table. Our friends could not enter even tough we had a table behind the dj booth. Bouncers and staff are unhelpfull and overall very bad in service. Not worth the money and very bad establishment. Worst club I have been in London!

A horrible disgusting experience with all of the staff who false advertise a guest list to ensure there is a crowd outside there club only to let no one in… very weird doesn’t make sense you go all the way there and they claim ‘ the guest list you have been put on does not exist ‘ even though you went through the club website. Fake advertisement … fake club… fake promoters makes no sense don’t waste your time….
