Strip joints in London

broxyman · December 15th, 2007, 02:32 PM

Still on a nostalgia trip, who remembers the time when Soho was full of strippers moving from club to club to perform their acts? There were loads of clubs then, but only around 20 girls, if that, and they just rotated from club to club.

Just two old-fashioned proper striptease establishments left in Soho now, I think - Sunset Strip and Carnival Club. Are these still going, and are they any good? Last time I dropped in a few years back they were pretty good - some very nice looking girls, probably students, and good traditional striptease. Pole dancing just isn't the same!

Slightly off topic, but there is the legendry White Horse in High Wycombe, where I am told Louise Hodges performed, it would be alot more of a pleasant venue than the Soho places.

When ever i go down to London, i always go to Shoreditch , there are 5 great pubs to go to,
The white horse on shoreditch high street
Rainbow bar
Browns
Ye olde axe
The griffin
Queen anne vauxhall walk
Flying scotsman kings cross
Nags head

All are a pound in the pot and free to get in apart from the axe and the rainbow £3, and the girls are all attractive , coming from the north , i have heard many rumours of rip offs in Soho so that's why i go to Shoreditch, see below for a link and directions.

Agreed - Shoreditch is definitely the best area nowadays - packed full of strip joints.

Most of the girls are Eastern European these days so if your preference is for British girls then you'll be disappointed - i was down at the axe & nags head a couple of weeks back and it was a good night, girls looked great but don't forget to take loads of £1 coins with you!

I saw a few old hounds back in the mid-80's in Birmingham, full bushes as well, sometimes, they'd toss you off for a fiver!! Nowadays, the strippers are Eastern European with Brazilians or waxes and a definate HANDS OFF policy

Sunset Strip still seems to be going, though it's £15 for a ticket I see:

I can confirm that the Carnival Club is long gone, sadly. Saw some great girls there.

It was strange sitting in those old cinema seats though.

Back to today, I can heartily recommend the White Horse on Shoreditch High Street. Just ten minutes walk from Liverpool Street station.
