    Default London Clubs - Nude, Topless, Clothes, Contact

    Heya

    Says it all in the title, right?

    OK, I've only ever danced in New York where we had to wear long gowns except on Saturdays, when we could wear dresses. No shorts, no boots, no bikinis, nothing like that. Barely even pole dancing and floor shows are banned. All clubs are topless, and in the CR there is quite a bit of contact, but nothing you can't cope with.

    In London, what does 'all nude' mean? On the floor for lapdances, in a private room or on-stage? D'you have to finger yourself and all that gross stuff like the clubs in Queens? What kind of clothes can you wear? How much contact is expected and what are the house fees? Is there a rule about hair? (In Flash all girls had to wear their hair down, so annoying). What are Spearmint, Stringies and Metropolis like compared to NY, or just in general?

    As well, if any dancers can tell me wear to get clothes, wigs, hairpieces, extensions and shoes in London I'd be grateful. I dumped all my stripper shit a year back.... online store suggestions welcome too....

    Gawd...

    I can only give you the perspective from the other side of the fence - and my experience is mainly in London's strip pubs, as opposed to clubs.

    All nude means exactly that - including showing your cookie. Some clubs are topless only on stage and some full nude. Private dances are full nude.

    In theory London is low/no contact but it goes on to one degree or another. Dancers/clubs wouldn't make money if it was no contact - and in some places the contact is high. Fingering ditto. In theory it's not allowed, but some girls do it to make money. You should be able to stay within your limits, but being low contact may restrict your earnings.

    House fees can be pretty expensive. Not sure of exact amounts any more, but there are always too many dancers on. That's because the clubs make a large percentage of their income from stage fees and will put on as many girls as they can get away with.

    Money's not good in London at the moment - I know (in broad terms) what a number of girls earn, and its being going steadily down over the last few years. If any London dancers reply to this thread I'd PM them and ask about earnings.

    Lots of dancers get their costumes in Camden, one of the London districts. There are a couple of shops there specialising in dancers, and a good market.

    This review of Metropolis appeared in a London customer forum recently.

    Re: Metropolis - Any News???

    I checked it out again Sat nite after 6 months. £15 entrance charge, Standard of
    girls poor to average. All hustling for PDs. Very few punters there!

    A very disapointing visit. We could't even last an hour there. Still a crap
    poor Quality experience.


    Hoping this helps....

    Phil.

    Club in London are all full nude but low contact compared to the USA, house fees are high, levels of advertising low, and lots of girls on. Stringfellow's is probably the most up market and it's the one most visiting celebs visit.

    If you are coming for a while I'd try Browns a pub though even that is not as busy as it used to be. For some reason loads more clubs are opening, the most promising I would say is For Your eyes Only in City Rd which is plumb in the heart of the financial district. There is a 6th Secrets in Holborn, and new club in Wembley etc etc.

    I wore my stripper gear to death so most of it was faded and tatty. I gave three good dresses away and I died my hair so chucked the hairpieces. The shoes were past redemption too. I hated the gown crap of manhattan clubs, I love the freedom in other clubs to dress up crazily in your own style....

    Are you moving to London for a specific reason? If you just fancy a move to the UK maybe you should try another city as theres not much money in London at the mo.

    To be honest I think a lot of it is that there are just too many clubs now, in 2000 there were only 15 or 20 clubs in the whole UK, now there are nearly that many in Leeds ! A 2nd problem is the house fee thing which makes clubs pack in too many girls and take too little concern over how good they are. Being hassled to death by dozens of desparate average looking girls is not my idea of fun. 3rd the US clubs I have been to make much more effort to put on a stage show which gives a place a bit of atmosphere. 4th UK clubs don't advertise or promote themselves.

    With all the recent changes the UK nightclub industry is in turmoil and I'd expect a lot of places to start closing before the end of 2008.

    I know what you mean, this year in the UK has been pretty rubbish all over and there is definately not as much cash in this industry as there used to be. My custys are always saying, "You should work in London, you would make a fortune." Sorry but been there, done that. I'm in Newcastle at the moment and the money overall is better than London IMO. Mind you its really slow, really really slow, I know its Jan but this Jan is a tough one. In Newcastle tho I think there is still money to be made but its really only the best most experienced girls who are pulling in the big money anymore.

    I'll be going to England someday w/my Grandmother to reunite with some family (all my family is in Southampton and London), so I was curious about working there as well. Can americans work in the clubs?

    There are visa issues to do with the EU working in London these days though there are American's working in London so it must be possible. In the 80s there were quite a few American girls but these days it's lots of Brazilian { who seem to have Portuguese ie EU passports} and Eastern Europeans { Poland, Hungary, etc is now in the EU}. Again in the 80s I don't think most places bothered if you were legal or not but over the last few years things have tightened up.

    So true. This is what men get excited for when they do decide to visit a foreign strip club... the native girls! I'm a English blooded American girl and I know I do NOT have that accent they're looking for LoL. The look though probably. But I'd like to work the London clubs for the experience however, not too concerned with the $$$. Just for shits and giggles.
    I looove being onstage. It's the only thing I miss about dancing.

    If you like doing stage shows I'd definitely try either Browns or the White Horse both pubs in Shoreditch High St which is near Liverpool St station. They both recruit directly and are quite fussy but they are good places to work. If you look in www.strip-magazine.com there are " club of the month" features on both.

    Hmm, I've also been thinkin about moonlighting in the UK b/c it's next to nothing for me to travel there and the exchange is good for me... Just shot off an email to Stringfellow's asking what a States girl needs to do to get on the books there, will post his reply.

    My Grandmother says there's a high possibilty I can get dual citizenship through her. We're going to the embassy next week to get more info. That would definately take care of my little dilemma.
