The Hope and Anchor, Islington

an atrocious place filled with the lowest of the low-lifes that london has to offer. full of pikey chavs who deem it necessary to hoard the pool table and then start a fight because someone else wants to play. security are godly afraid of these locals and unwilling to keep order. a terrible place fit for only the worst dregs of society. stay well clear.

Ruby Blue, Leicester Square

myself and two friends turned up at this place for a friends birthday only to be turned away at the door by two of the worlds most rude bouncers. the manageress was unhelpful and indeed quite abusive explaining that we were a liability and a danger to her club (we're medical students for christs sake! we were well dressed and polite the entire time!). evidently this was a badly disguised ruse for charging us the extortionate entry fee by telling us to return after 10.
because it was a friends birthday and we wanted to make an appearance, we went away for a coffee and returned an hour later only to be told by the bouncers to "f off". that phrase sums up perfectly the attitude of the staff and of the club as a whole. i will certainly never EVER be spending my money in that place, and would suggest likewise to anyone else considering this place
