So
I
actually
had
a
GREAT
time
here
on
a
Friday
night.
Let
me
first
preface
this:
I
am
Black
from
USA,
and
my
partner
is
Brazilian.
We
were
actually
in
Barcelona
a
day
before
coming
to
London,
and
a
local
from
London
mentioned
this
club
and
said
it
was
great
but
super
racist.
Of
course
I
read
the
reviews
here
and
many
seemed
to
say
similar
things.
I
went
with
the
mindset
that
we
may
be
turned
away
because
of
our
race
which
would
suck,
but
it
was
Friday
with
nothing
else
going
on
so
figured
we’d
risk
it.
I
actually
arrived
shortly
after
10pm
to
avoid
the
long
line.
We
were
met
with
some
unpleasant
security
(not
rude,
but
definitely
not
nice),
who
asked
for
IDs
&
such,
which
we
gave
them
(brought
our
passport
because
several
here
have
said
they
make
excuses
on
other
type
of
IDs).
Long
story
short,
despite
the
mean
faces
(which
doesn’t
seem
atypical
for
London)
had
no
problems.
Inside,
there
were
whites,
asians,
blacks,
Indian,
etc.
It
was
very
diverse.
The
music
is
great
(we
often
went
to
different
floors
throughout
the
night),
and
there
was
a
show
at
0100
which
was
also
good.
The
light
effects
were
awesome.
Getting
there
shortly
after
10pm,
there
weren’t
many
people.
But
around
midnight,
it’s
packed
and
I’m
glad
we
avoided
the
long
queue
(reportedly
2
hour
wait
around
midnight).
I
wouldn’t
discount
others’
experiences
of
racism,
especially
since
many
people
are
saying
the
same.
But
I
will
say
that
my
experience
was
not
that.
Yea
security
could
actually
be
more
welcoming,
but
even
when
paying
for
the
entry,
the
white
girl
said
“you
two
boys
have
an
amazing
night”.
She
was
SUPER
nice
and
caught
us
both
off
guard
because
were
expecting
the
opposite.
We
had
fun!
Maybe
take
the
risk
and
go?
Oh,
and
Don’t
look
drunk
and
don’t
act
dumb
while
waiting
in
line.
