The Decline of a Legendary Club in London

If you want to see an example of the true decline in the strip club industry, look no further than Stringfellows. Once recognized worldwide as having the most beautiful women in the world, today the club is nothing but a shadow of what it used to be during its heydays. Yes, if you are old enough to remember what the clubs were like before online porn, OnlyFans, and rise of social media influencers, you will recall that Stringfellow's was once legendary for being one of the most expensive clubs and for having the most beautiful women. Oh, the decline is painful to witness! The men of Gen Z and most of Gen Y have no idea what strip clubs like Stringfellow's used to be like.

Okay, it doesn't appear that this club has been reviewed in quite some time, so here is one to update. I was in the Piccadilly area on Saturday night and decided to hit Stringfellow's shorty before midnight. I was greeted by two men at the front door and paid 20 pounds for entrance. The club was very similar to how I remembered. As I walked in and took a look at the talent I almost immediately turned around and walked out. Weak is the only word that comes to mind. Since I was in the door and paid the cover, I figured I might as well order a drink and give the club a fair review.

So the club itself is quite small. It's somewhat dated but still classy. As you enter there is a bar to your right with several bar stools, a few high top tables, a narrow stage right in the center that's probably 18x4, and then maybe 6 tables to the left of the stage. Downstairs is where the private booths are, but I didn't go down for obvious reasons. It is fair to say that the owner hasn't changed much in 25 years, but this is what high end strip clubs used to be like. It's classy and you feel like everything is going to be pricey. That's the feel.
