Loopy for Loop: Clubbing in London

We had two Saturday nights in London, and we spent them both at Loop nightclub in Mayfair.



Bottoms up!

It came as a suggestion from an Aussie friend living in London for the past nine months; this place must be good.

It is free entry into the club before 10-10:30pm, and £10 (around $15) cover charge after that. Drinks cost around £5-6 each – either way a three person round is less than £20.



Wowza!

The club has three floors; the ground level is more of a bar with seating inside and out. The next floor down has its own bar and beats, pumping the latest dance, house and R’n’B tunes. The third floor down is a retro room, complete with light-up dance floor and go-go dancers. Booyah!

                                                                            

Burn baby burn

The crowd is a mixture of ages, but fair to say the younger party goers stick mainly to the middle floor.  The fellas can be quite persistent, but nothing that we couldn’t beat off with an imaginary stick.


Hanging with the boys from One Direction

Perhaps the highlight was the ladies who work in the bathroom, with a counter full of perfume, lip gloss, deodorant, tissues, and glow sticks. For a coin donation you could freshen up and raid their stash.

One of the women had rhymes and songs encouraging girls with heavy coin purses to lighten their load. My favourite was “no spray no lay, no spray no lay, feeling hot, hot, hot!”

Naturally, we just got glow sticks.  



Loopy for Loop Round 2

We had two big nights out in London and Loop treated us very well. The DJ also played our favourite song, the song that got us through the hard work and the saving before we left. You play the song, we love you forever. When we heard ‘I’m Glad You Came’ by the Wanted, we literally went loopy.
 


Ohhh myyyy godddddd! I'm glad you came, do do do do

Do yourself a favour and have a listen!

We may just have to head back for our final Saturday night upon our return to London.

And there is a McDonalds next door for the trip home.

Sounds like a party.



No glasses on the dance floor! Rebels

 Don’t even ask how we pulled up the next morning.

Always loopy, Nikki
