The ViewLondon Angels Review | Angels Club Soho London

The waiting staff are efficient and happy to help and the dancers are as gorgeous and as much fun as you would expect in one of London’s most prestigious gentlemen’s clubs.

This does give the main room at Angels a sort of modular feeling, whereby table areas are suddenly vanished from sight and the room resembles a patchwork of blocked-off zones; but at least you don’t have to walk anywhere and leave your drink if you want to buy a private dance for the measly sum of £20.

This isn’t just a club with dancers, drinks and music: the food makes it a great place to eat in London’s West End all by itself, and the entrance fee of £20 is waived if you choose to dine here, too.

The main courses include superb steaks, with excellent sides and wonderful chips; just the sort of thing a man needs to keep his strength up as the night progresses, the drink flows and the ladies gyrate before you in a cloud of smoke and music.

The Last Word With a fun atmosphere, beautiful, friendly girls, excellent food and drink, and superb service from an engaged and professional staff – all under the caring and intelligent guidance of a very talented manager – Angels is a great place to spend some time if the urge to see some beauties suddenly takes over.

Peter Stringfellow: Why I closed Angels, am setting up a lingerie ...

The floor of Peter Stringfellow’s office at Angels, his legendary Soho club, was strewn with packing boxes last week.

Stringfellow is focusing on his eponymous Covent Garden club – all the Angels dancers are moving across, and the 75 year-old entrepreneur, who has owned clubs around the world, is confident it’ll go from strength to strength.

In a climate of waning nightclub numbers and on-demand sex (think Tinder, Grindr and new paid-for dating app Ohlala), I wondered who goes to Angels these days.

Plenty of people, Stringfellow explains, get off a plane at City Airport or Heathrow and come to the club before going to their hotel.

Pausing after reminiscing about the time that Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye played at his club (Stringfellow has the piano in his villa in Mallorca), he says, “that era has gone forever now; the internet has changed everything.”

Cantina Laredo, St Martin's Courtyard, 10 Upper St Martin's Lane ...

Good Mexican food can be a wonderful thing, and the arrival in central London of an American institution serving "gourmet Mexican food" sounded like something to celebrate.

This summer, there's a mini-boom of new Mexican openings, all promising a more authentic take on the cuisine than the assemblies of starch, cheese and ochre slurry that chain restaurants pass off as the real enchilada.

So trust me, I went to Cantina Laredo in the genuine hope of some vivid, authentic Mexican food.

Our waiter, clearly well drilled in the American style of service, launched into his rehearsed spiel about all sauces being made from scratch, and fish being bought fresh every day, then malfunctioned badly by moving off after we'd ordered our starters.

Tipping policy: "Service charge is 12.5 per cent discretionary, of which 100 per cent goes to the staff; all tips go to the staff" Dishes here include ceviche pollack cured in lime juice with avocado, diced onion, coriander and tomato (£5.50).

Stringfellows Gentleman's Club and Restaurant - Covent Garden ...

Owned and operated by Peter Stringfellow, “Stringfellows” in Covent Garden has been at the top of London nightlife scene for over thirty five years and his brand name has become internationally famous having opened clubs in New York, Miami, L.A. and Paris.

Stringfellows twenty four seater restaurant is London’s best kept secret – open throughout the night.

With an extensive menu including the world famous Papillon steak dish that was created especially for Princess Diana back in the eighties, it will not disappoint.

Stringfellows, West End

Top 10 things you need to know about Stringfellows: 1) Let’s face it, you’re a man; you have certain urges and desires: wine, flowing; music, loud; flesh, carnal and carnivorous.

2) You’ve walked past Stringfellows lap dance and strip club near Leicester Square many times, pondering those clandestine doors.

You lick the Château Cadet Soutard, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from your lips, whilst nearby a man in a white jacket starts flambéing.

Stick around: at one point in the night, everyone receives a free table dance.

Georgina’s beaming smile and stealthy table service make a perfect night even better.

Studio 88, London: 'Of course the cooking is going to be a disaster ...

Meal for two, including glass of prosecco: £50 Booking a table at Studio 88, a new live music bar near Leicester Square, central London, where almost all the food is served in cones, took two attempts, seven phone calls, a cancelled booking (because they’d forgotten it was press night and my pseudonym barred me entry), a bunch of emails with 15 terms and conditions (“While we welcome pre-wedding parties, we cannot accept any paraphernalia”) and a £50 charge to a credit card.

Apparently, all of this is a requirement under a late licence from Westminster council – though why anyone would willingly run a business that involves setting up what feels like a small Eastern European state at the height of the Cold War beats me.

Or as the T&Cs put it: “Each of your guests is required to have our set menu, which includes two small cones, two large cones, a side cone, dessert and a glass of prosecco for £25.”

What’s more, they had to do so in the face of adversity, which is to say, the notion that putting food in paper cones, placed in spindly holders, is a good one.

Chef Michael Caines’s country house and restaurant, Lympstone Manor in Devon, is to launch its own vineyard: 18,000 vines will be planted on the banks of the Exe Estuary, with the first batch of Champagne-style Lympstone Manor Cuvée planned for 2023 Goring Hotel, famously the late Queen Mother’s favourite, has joined forces with the neighbouring Passage homeless centre to create a school offering hospitality business training to the homeless.

Stringfellows - 16-19 Upper St Martins Lane, Covent Garden ...

You may be surprised to find a whole other part to the establishment - it's three times bigger downstairs, with three more bars and private rooms in a large open-plan style, and a full cabaret-sized stage with plush seating for punters to enjoy the view of yet more gorgeous girls dancing.

The clientele all seem ecstatic, perhaps down to the fact that everything is ‘quality’, from the drinks to the girls to the music spun by the DJ.

Girls sashay around in cocktail dresses and only disrobe on the podium as they dance - they don’t need to parade around in their underwear until the time comes, reminding customers that they are not just in a strip club, but in a sophisticated night-time establishment.

Private dances are only a very decent £20, and the dancing that you see on the podium or the stage downstairs is but a mere taster for the delights on offer from these very talented girls.

The Food Stringfellows has pulled off something of a coup as far as its restaurant is concerned; the food is so good you could almost forget you are in a gentlemen’s club at all.
