The club
The club is underground, beneath the cocktail bar. The theme is jungle, in golds and greens, with foliage overhead and VIP booths in green leather. The resident DJs play to the dance floor under red light and hanging foliage.
The biggest booth is the Jumanji at £1000, which comes with the full jungle club show, delivered on the Golden Lion, with Moet. The Standard booth is £300 with two bottles of Grey Goose, entry for up to eight, four mixer jugs and waitress service. XL is £500 and XXL is £650. Bottles come with a sparkler presentation.
How to get in
The guest list is free. Each person signs up individually with a mobile number and email, in advance, and gets a text to confirm. Sign up on the club guest list page.
For drinks first, the £12 pre party covers entry for the night and four drinks from 8pm to 10pm, or £10 each for groups of four or more. See the pre party.
Bring a physical UK driving licence or UK passport, and dress smart. Smart trainers are fine, but no sportswear, caps, hoods or sliders.
