Can anyone recommend a nightclub or dancebar in central London for over 30s.?

Question

My girlfriend and I are visiting London in 2 weeks. We are looking for a club where we are not going to be regarded as freaks by an 18-21 age group. Probably will be out on the Thursday evening and night. Music taste pretty wide - 80s preferable. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

Answer 1

Unfortunately there are no dedicated "disco" clubs in Central London as there are in most cities.  There is a Reflex bar but it's in the City (financial district in the east) and not central.  There is Strawberry Moons which is on Heddon Street (Off Regent Street) which is cheesy.  It's a late bar rather than a club.  There is the School Disco http://www.schooldisco.co.uk/ but it's only on a Saturday and in Putney.  You'd need to wear school uniform to get in too.

As for regular clubs I'd recommend Roadhouse www.roadhouse.co.uk it's not all teenagers and I've seen a broad range of ages from 21 to 61 in there.  You could also try the Langley (langley street).  It's very grown up and full of architects and arty media types.

You could also do worse than chain bar Tiger Tiger in Haymarket.  The price of the drinks make sure it's not a teenage haunt!  There is also On Anon in Piccadilly which has lots of different bars inside so you're sure to find one which meets your needs although there is a real hard dance sort of club in there which scares me silly!

Dover street wine bar, Dover street Mayfair, opposite the Ritz Hotel.

Hakkasan (recommended) Hanway place, off oxford street W1, It's the last left hand turn before you hit Tottenham court road heading eastward.
