If you are in the Heathrow area, with time to spare then this is a low key hangout worth knowing. It is near unique in London in that it offers walkabout striptease rather than stage shows, and Londoners in the know would head here over the upmarket clubs in town. It is 10 minutes or so drive, or by public transport from the airport and Heathrow hotels. You can't miss the bright orange building. Small car park at the back can be full but street parking on nearby side streets, e.g. by the green a few yards along from the pub. From the airport Hayes and Harlington is one stop on the Heathrow Connect train service, or get any bus that goes to the station. From Hayes and Harlington station climb the stairs to the top exit, turn left to the crossroads by the green, turn left at the junction and you will see the pub in front of you. No more than 5 minutes walk. The front entrance of the pub is a regular bar with pool table etc. To get to the strip bar either walk through the Manchester United themed bar and into the back or use the open fire exit at the far end of the pub. Drinks from the bar at regular pub prices. The bar service is notoriously slow, with one barman sometimes working both bars. Dancers on from midday to midnight 7 days a week, but only 3 or 4 per shift. Shift changes at 4 and 8. The dancers are predominantly Brazilian with some British and the odd Eastern European. Looks wise the quality is a lot better then you would expect for a neighbourhood bar, and big breasts tend to dominate the selection. For regulars they have a large roster with no dancer on more then 2 or 3 shifts a week. The £1.00 tip in the jug is compulsory for each one song show, Dancer strips whilst walking round the room giving each customer some personal attention which will be nude and in your face, strict no touching rule in force. A feature is the imaginative use of the bar furniture as props. Show takes place every 2 or 3 songs so those £1.00 tips do stack up. There are private dances available, which are usually solicited during the show. Dancers aren't chatty and be prepared to make your interest known if it is busy. Dances are £12.00 per song and you have to buy a token from the barman first. Private dancing is great value compared with my experience in London. if you are used to 2 way mileage as standard then you may feel disapointed but as far as "no contact" venues go this is as good as it gets and at bargain prices. Lighting level normal room lighting. There is a varied clientele here. The locality is an ethnically diverse area and a casual visitor might decide it feels a bit ghetto. The venue and area are perfectly safe and don't be put off as everyone is used to allsorts coming here, whether smart suits, to guys in their sweat pants, ages 18 to 80. Weekend evenings the place is packed. If you want a big night out then this place won't appeal but if you have a few hours to kill (they also do food), and some pound coins jangling in your pocket then you won't go wrong here

Premier strip pub in Central London, 10 minutes walk from Faringdon tube station. Free entry, open midday to midnight or 1am. Free bag/coat check. Drinks pub prices with happy hour before 5pm. The management has split from Browns and it's dancers are now exclusive to this venue, although they still share a website. The attraction of this place is that you will find top end club dancers in a pub environment. Pound in the glass rules apply, i.e. everyone has to contribute a pound to each dancers show. I have only been on weekend evenings when it is usually jam packed, and you will need to push your way through the throng to get a stage side place. There is little or no seating here so the guys gather round the stage, in a throng, at show time. Performances every 10 to 15 minutes. DJ is one of the likes the sound of his voice/get the party started type, and will pick on guys stood down the front. I think he adds to the atmosphere but you might find him annoying. Raucous cheering and applause is encouraged. Stage is tiny and the dancer has to push her way through the audience to climb the steps. There is a private dance area near the entrance, to the left. Prices are £15.00 per song, £10 during happy hour. If you are used to international standard lap dances, forget it, 3 ft rules are strictly applied by the management. If full nude is a novelty to you and you don't want to wait for a favoured dancer to come on stage, or can't get down the front then it may be worthwile. Dancers will politely hustle but move on quickly if you are not interested. My recommended dancer is Cher, as featured on the website. Get down the front with your pint glasses! She has a couple of great gimmicks in her show. In summary this is a fun and affordable place for a group of lads, maybe as a warm-up before moving on to a club whether strip or mainstream.

This place is worth knowing about because of it's location but definitely not a destination in itself. It is a small dive bar one block from Kings Cross and St Pancras stations so makes an alternative waiting room if you are catching a train. The pub is either deserted or packed, there is no in between,it is a favoured stop for football fans visiting London from the North. If really busy it may feel intimidating. Quality of girls not as good as the other strip pubs, there are a few alternative/goth girls if that is what you like. Stage shows are basic but enthusiastic. No private dancing, no DJ, no music between performances. Pound in the jug beforehand, as is expected in London. Because a lot of out of towners visit here, there is always arguments with the girls about paying up. Lack of security, excepting the bar staff does not help. Usually about 8 girls on in the evening. Rumour has it that the place is going to be turned into a gastropub in a couple of years. This is no surprise as the place is really a throwback to when Kings Cross was a red-light district and the area is currently subject to regeneration following the opening of the Eurostar train terminal. The wood pannelled center bar is actually a bit of a heritage feature, similar to what you will see in many classic London pubs. If you want a cheap fix of naked women then go visit, you won't want to linger.
