Does anyone have info on clubs and the scene in London?
from what I have heared, the big London stripclubs are a lot like the ones in usa. spearmint rhino and stringfellows in london seems like aswesome clubs.
here's reviews of some european clubs (it has some london onces)

oh, and http://www.stringfellows.com/
I work together with a agent in England. Can fix you jobs.

^^^ Is the work in London or other areas just out of curiosity?
I just returned from England and I can tell you that Stringfellows is a nude club with ZERO contact and an international community of basically hot girls.There are two locations in London and I think the original is the better of the two. It is completely different than anything I have seen in the states which could be good if you are a dancer,but frankly,as a customer, I would like a little more contact...I would love to work there though because dances are 20 pounds (which roughly equates to $40) and you cant even pat a girl's arm without being warned by a doorman...Spearmint Rhino (Heathrow) is even less contact and more expensive plus I heard they make you keep a schedule!
If I ever danced in England I would stick with the strip pubs as they can be rather lucrative. Not as classy as Rhino yet can be lucrative. Plus I wouldn't stick with London ... I would look at the clubs in other areas as well. Then again, Laptastic a decent enough agency I've been told for work in UK.
There are 2 Stringfellow's in London, the original plus one in Wardour St { just off Oxford St} which only opened on June 1st. There are also 2 Spearmint's Totenham Court Rd and Colnbrook { Heathrow area}, plus 5 Secrets, the Windmill, Puss in Boots, Venus etc etc . The plushest and most expensive are Stringfellow's and Spearmint TCR, both have loads of girls on and charge house fees of £100 plus taking commission on all dances. Like Gold Coast girl I'd recommend the strip pubs { or at least Browns/Griffin and the White Horse} which are better both from a customer and dancer point of view. Browns though can be very fussy as to who they take on.
As well as strip magazine look at http://www.mypole.co.uk/articles.htm for background info on the scene in London.

It was pretty slow in there due to the world cup.
Yes,it`s been pretty slow here in London :(
Spearming Rhino near Heathrow DOES take out a commission from every single dance you make plus you pay a housefee (not too much though, 25 £).
They will take 7 £ out of each dance (20£), plus they`ve got loads 2-4-1 or even 3-4-1 (all right, I wasn`t there many times so don`t know what the situation is now, but I got pissed of because I ended up dancing for 3 songs and got 13 !!!! quid). Didn`t like the club at all.
Both the other SR club in Central London and Stringfellow`s are well known among the dancers for having too many girls on the floor, too high house fee and not very pleasant working atmosphere. Somebody might make good money there, but most of the girls won`t.
You can allways give it a try though 8)
SR in central london does not take commission off your dances instead, but yeah the housefee is high (85£)
there's money to be made if you're a good hustler, but if you're not then it's better to stick with strip pubs, as somebody already said, where you go around with a jar and collect tips (usually every customer will put 1£ in the jar) before going on stage. beware that in the strip clubs instead you won't be tipped while on stage! i mean it can happen but it's just not the norm here.
anyways there are also other clubs apart from these fancy ones in central london, such as metropolis or sophisticats... have a look at the reviews section
Outside of London, what other strip pubs are there? I just googled and none came up.
There used to be strip pubs in Liverpool, Manchester etc but I think most of them are closed now. The ones nearer me in Sheffield and Bradford certainly have. There are still plenty in London and outlying areas like Southend, Slough etc etc.Doesn't Spearmint TCR have tipping dollars which the club takes a cut out of, Stringfellow's certainly does.

just a random visa question.... i went to this site
and its says i do not need a visa come to the UK as an entertainer. is this right? would a club accept dancer with no techincal working visa, and just an entertainers permit, or would i still need a working visa?
Stringfellow in London is OK (the big ones of them)- but other Stringfellow-clubs is more bad by the moment if we talk abouth money. Heard from a Spanish agent-college that it have been bad days in Paris for a longer time, and they consider to close Dublin in Ireland soon.
It is stripclubs on every corner in England - but most can not fix room - and not all is good. Or you have to go throug a smart london-agent who fix you room personaly as part of her to high feed. I can fix you good club in Liverpool, London, Nothingham, Glasgow scotland, and many other places in UK. Have also works in Spain as well, and in Norway, Sweden and Greece.
In Europe is generaly the coast best, and not the capital in the summers. Tourist to capital is mostly family people, better with boys on holliday to beaches with beatifull girls, so they get horny during the day - and wissit striptease during the nigth. But inland towns can be good in hollidaycountryes as Greece - because all girls will work on the coast - so you get all rich local boys alone.
Stay away from Portugal - no money. One week in Portugal now is good with everything like 650$ for 6 days work. You get 500$ +pluss planeticket and hotel for free ex a good provision for a week in Greece. Stay away from Germany before you have checked the club real good - because most is bordells with stripshow. Stay away from all clubs in Italy who do not mostly have american soldiers. Italian-speeking clubs is no money.
If you are eastern-europeen; Mexican, African, Latin-American etc. be carefull to many will cheat you - because they know you are from a poor country - you are also a easyer target for traficking. Some stripjobs in England can be bordells who try to bluff in workers, they try spescially to get in Eastern Europeen girls.
Awoid Yougoslavian owned Clubs in Sweden, and all clubs in Stockholm. Avoid following clubs in Norway: Pearls (earlier name Vatikanet) - a rapecase from a bartender, Lamore (Lamour) - cheating the girls and try to get sex, V.i.P. (also called Mr. X) - bordell downstairs, Lotus (to many girls, and some do extra), Dreams (to many girls who do something extra).
I work with a stripagent in England who still do some stripwork - so she test out every club personaly in UK before she send anybody there.

You do not have visa to UK since you have Australian passport. Since you are coming from a country in British comondwelth. Following country can as I know easely go to England (from outside Europe): Canada, Australia (as you are), Falkland (and simular ielands under the British regent), New Zeeland - it is more countryes I do not know for sure. I think also Jamaica, and some other west-Indian ex-english colonees still can as well. If any need to know for sure contackt me or your nearest embassy.
Most country can fix papers into England and UK quite easy. Everybody who work/study in England, Greece, Spain, Portugal, and some other coutryes can get full citicen within 3 years (change nationality). Most countryes in europe is member of Europeen Union, or half member that aloud to have free rigt to work/live in Europeen Union. So even a Lithuanian Passport can now work in hole of Europe - as member of Europeen Union.
If you have a grandfather/mother from Europe can you normaly change passport imediately. Many girls from Argentina have changed to Spanish, German or English passport this way. And Brasilian girls to Portugeese passport.
It is often posible to have 2 passport as American and Italian (if your mother is Italian from the orgin, even if you never have been out of Brooklyn in your hole life).

Im working a club in Newcastle at the moment which is much further north than London and I swear its the best club Ie ever worked in! If your going to London Id try Strings or SR although I didnt like working for either of these clubs as the girls are far too competitive, the fees too high and the clubs are usually oversaturated with dancers.
The club I work in in Newcastle is called For Your Eyes Only, (will try and find the link to theyre website.) Newcastle is probably one of the most popular places for guys to go for stag parties and there are only 2 dancing clubs there with FYEO being the biggest and busiest. Ill post the link and feel free to pm me with any questions if you fancy it.

Click on Clubs and then Newcastle. The club is a light contact, topless only club. x
Hi Polekitten,
it`s nice to hear from sb from Uk :) I used to work in FYEO in Mayfair until the management changed (as well as the name...it used to be SUCH a good place but now it`s rubbish..) and once I was in FYEO in Croydon which is a very nice club but too far for me to travel there.
At the moment, I`m in another club but I`m starting to feel a bit pissed of as the money is quite bad and althought it`s NO TOUCHING whatsoever club, there are lots of fucking slags (sorry....sorry... I`d normally never swear but I can`t help it at the moment after yesterday`s shift) to break the fules, grind and lye on the guys and even let them suck their tits (WTF ?????). Some of the girls would be fined but not all of them which makes it bloody hard for clean dancers to make any money...
Is it as bad up there or is it just South ?
x
My view is that there are just too many clubs in London and more seem to be opening all the time. I'd try to stick to the strip pubs Browns/Griffin and the White Horse if you can, they have both been around for 30 years or more and have a regular clientelle.
Newcastle is quite a big place to only have 2 clubs { both owned by FYEO incidentally} so that may explain why it is good there. Birmingham has 11 plus 2 in West Bromwich, 2 in Wolverhampton, and 1 in Dudley. Leicester has 5, Blackpool 8, Liverpool 6.
I am told the south coast places Bournemouth, Brighton, Southampton etc are OK plus places like Swindon and Gloucester with only 1 club.

I was just there(Stringfellows) and you HAVE to pay with "Heavenly Money." They want thier cut. Sucks for the dancers.Quote:

I agree that Newcastle is prob so good because of the small amount of clubs there, everyone keep theyre fingers crossed that they NEVER open any more!
Ive also heard that Bournemouth is really good in the summer and was planning a wee trip down there myself. Also, Blackpool is also supposed to be really good in the summer too.
