Sadly, a great place gone bad

This used to be a favourite place and I went on any visit to London. A great place to spend a few hours or more. A fixed entrance fee, no pressure to buy drinks, and little pressure to buy private dances. Some pressure for tips but most of the girls gave you extra attention if you tipped. Usually 6 girls in the afternoon shift and 8 in the evening shift. For the best value you could stay over the shift change at about 6pm. On a good day, all of the girls were good looking and at worst just one or two weren't. The show would not be very wild but they would get fully nude for a decent time.

Enough history. Prior to covid it was going downhill. Today was my first post covid visit and it has got worse again. Still a fixed entrance fee (£15) and you can leave and come back. Fewer girls, only 4 in the afternoon shift. I am not sure how many in the evening shift. Some of the afternoon girls were still there. They were much less good looking than before. Many too fat, some just a little too fat and some a lot too fat. Too many tattoos, piercings, and fake tits for me. Maybe two nice, but not great, ones. The shows were much tamer; With just one exception, they only took their panties off at the very end and you saw nothing. Unfortunately, the one exception was not one of the nicer ones. Some girls, including a couple of the nicer ones, did not take their panties off at all. Far more pressure to buy private dances (£20 per song), more pressure to buy drinks, and to tip. If you did tip, you got nothing so you were just throwing £5 away. The DJ was very irritating with his pressure to spend.

I won't be going back any time soon. Maybe in a year or two in case it returns to its old excellent standards.
