London Strip Clubs in the 1970s

[PalmsMan]

This club closed last year. Apparently, there was "inappropriate" touching. What is the matter with the authorities? Who cares if consenting adults touch when they are in private, adult, spaces?

Before Sunset Strip closed it had gone up market and was, I believe, quite plush. But I knew Sunset Strip back in the 1970s, when it was the dirtiest (I don't mean in the sexual sense), most run-down establishment imaginable.

It wasn't somewhere I visited often, but from time to time I would stop by in the early afternoon and sit in the front row. The girls, and their acts were uninspiring, and if a girl failed to turn up the club would put a blue movie on for 10 minutes. The movies were scratchy, monochrome, soft porn flicks with dumb plots.

No one cared, so I would usually wank despite being on the front row. I only recall Cumming once despite wanking on most visits. The worst that ever happened was that an obese (250lb) stripper asked why if I wanted to wank I didn't stay at home with a magazine.

There used to be a number of "fake" strip clubs around Soho. Having bought a ticket, instead of sending one downstairs, one was directed to the Sunset Strip, on Dean Street where you were charged a second time. I only fell for this once, and that is how I came to discover "the worst strip club in Soho".

There were some unscrupulous clubs where a girl would sit down beside you and ask you to buy her a drink.
This was usually at some ridiculous price which if you didn't pay up there was a ready at hand bouncer standing by to make sure you did.
Heard some horror stories like this.
I only ever went to one club late 70s. Pay at door.... you then had to buy a minimum of one drink once inside which again was an extortionist price. Never let any of the ladies sit beside me,

Also went to a peep booth late 70s. Letter boxed peep hole with a bit of cloth over it. Dropped your coin in slot and girl behind removed cloth and gave you a 2 minute flash of her pussy!!
