I attended this club with Jo one Wednesday night in June 2001.

I am afraid I was disappointed with the club, although people had told me that it was a single room below a restaurant with poor decor and disgusting toilets, I thought that they had maybe gone on a bad evening and exaggerated the downsides.

The club is a single large room with thin cheap carpeting and wooden dance floor area. There are no comfortable areas to play. Carpet burns are a guaranteed extra should you decide to play here.

Jo and I sat drinking watching some strippers, when our bum's were numb from the thinly padded benches we decided to move to the alcove - mistake. Every single guy in the place thought we were going to start playing, and formed a circle around us wanking.

We drank up quickly and departed.

We are not against single guys at all, in fact Jo had a fantastic time fucking and sucking some 14 guys at Chameleons, but this place was depressingly seedy and made no effort to provide comfortable areas for people to play.

Oh yes - The toilets were disgusting - no toilet paper, no soap and no towels, and so smelly you need to hold your breath from the moment you open the door.

Sorry guys - This is one place I will give a very wide berth to.

The venue is open four nights per week and is either mixed (singles/couples) or couples only on a Saturday.

Membership can only be applied from the website (we allow all uk couples one free visits so that they can decide if they wish to join and vice versa). Once you have couples membership (£10 lifetime membership) three events per week are free to enter. You only have to pay on a Saturday night and this is £10 per couple.

Note that our Clubs are classed as a on-site Club. So its not just a sit and chat event.

We've been going here for about 5 years. We've been to a number of other clubs in the UK and Europe, but have never had as good a time anywhere else as we have here.

It is certainly true that the place looks like a dump. Especially if you arrive before 11pm and its empty. But as it fills up and your second drink slips down the partying starts and its a great swing scene. The people are really nice, respectful and all out for fun.

We've been to far cleaner, larger and more expensive places, but we've never been back to any of them a second time, but go here regularly.

We went once on a Friday, which is not a couples day, and would not go back again on another Friday.

Well what can be said about this club has mostly been said, its a bit like taking a time travel trip back to the 70s the place is a bit of a seedy dive couldnt really recommend it and certainly wouldnt want to make arrangements to meet a couple there with so many good clubs in and around London.

The club has a friendly atmosphere & is very reasonably priced, even if you only fancy a late drink. Far from decrepit troglodytes you get some very attractive people there, & I wasn't aware that wealth was a pre-requisite for erotic fun. Maybe no-one fancied slinky susie especially if she tried to impress people with her knowledge of Heironymous Bosch. The place could do with a springclean but you get what you pay for & we have had some excellent value for money in all respects.

I think of the Couples Club as the Wheel Tappers and Shunters club of sex. It encapsulates most of the typical horrors of the British swinging scene. It’s like a workingmen’s club where the sort of people who go to workingmen’s clubs have sex.

When I went the bouncer was a rude and aggressive little white shit with a small cock who threatened my boyfriend and demanded more “respect”. To be fair the other entrance staff were nice and the barman was very informed and friendly. It wasn’t expensive either.

The premises were a fetid basement under a tapas bar in Harringay. The walls were 70s artex (where the plaster hasn't come away). The seats were sticky. The loo was cramped, unplastered and stinking. Crass porn played on a TV. The “DJ” had a vast beer gut partly covered by a stained white vest. The groove was a discordant disgrace – the “DJ” was too stupid to know he should play similar sounds together to create moods.

The clientele was neither affluent not young. In fact it was old and shabby to the point of grotesque. However as with almost everywhere there were some attractive young couples like nuggests of gold in a cesspit.

The club is only one room and there’s an alcove where the decrepit troglodytes rut on the banquette. It gets packed, hot, airless, sweaty and not very fragrant. If you've ever seen The Triumph of Death by Heironymous Bosch, you'll get the picture. Of the maybe 10 premises clubs in and around London, for clientele and premises this is perhaps the very worst.

Well, this was the first club my wife and I tried when we entered onto the Swing Scene, and we had mixed feeling about our first visit. When we arrived at about 21:15 we were only the 2nd coupple there and felt very nervous.At first glance the club appears a little dark and perhaps seedy but its not realy that bad and anyway you dont go there for the decor!As time passed the club filled with a good mix of couples and after a few (Fairly cheap) drinks there were plenty of people willing to play! My wife and I have visited the club on several occasions (All Saturdays) since and each time have enjoyed ourselves (and others!) in a very friendly atmosphere. But I will have to agree with one of the other reviews that the toilets could be better.
