I miss Bagleys.



I wasn't overly keen on Bagleys, the search was very intrusive and one female friend was groped on the way in so I vowed not to return.

Went back in 2001 or 2002 and it was much better, but that Skara-esque experience lost a customer for a good while.



The security at Bagleys were always miles worse than the ministry of skaramanga's security.

I went to Bounce on Holborn recently, as I walked up to the door it seemed very familiar...

Turns it used to be The Leisure Lounge, home of Sunny Side Up in the 90s

Good to see some of London's old clubs are still being used for entertainment.

Yeah, Bagleys security were the worst I ever encountered. I remember getting dragged off the dancefloor and into a dark corridor and threatened by them once. They thought I was dealing but in fact had absolutely nothing, not even Percy. No apology. And had my balls groped on the way in on a couple of occasions. Other people that actually were found with stuff on them got badly beaten, in fact I know one guy who got hospitalised. And of course it was implied that whatever they confiscated they gave to their people on the dancefloor to sell on their behalf.
that kind of stressful experience meant I also gave the place a wide berth for a while as well.
They knew that the security were out of control, loads of events started writing 'new friendlier security' on their fliers, people would get there and find it was still the same firm!
Funny though because there are a few people out there who really rate Bagleys as being one of the most free n' easy, hedonistic venues ever. Maybe it was if you were from the same part of town as the doormen they were nicer to you? But anyway, I don't think I ever had a properly good night in that place, there was always something sketchy happening to ruin it.

Everything you just said is true, I got dragged out of the toilet and had a mini bottle of eau de toilette confiscated off me in the bathroom once, and got threatened at the same time too @ Bagley's; not sure what the f**k they thought it was, hopefully one of the c**ts drank it and poisoned himself Laughs out loud

Still, was a good club, I've had the same, if not worse, when out as just a clubber at Camden Palace.

Yeah, that

We only went to Bagleys a couple of times in the 1990s, a friend had her tits groped and I didn't go back for over 10 years.

I never once had an issue at Bagleys and used to go rowdy Drum and Bass nights all the time. Only once did they make me take off my shoes and and I walked in water with my socks. Not a great way to start a night of clubbing with wet feet so I still stand my ground that MoS are worse Shrugs shoulders

I was once chatting to a girl at Bagleys when her mate collapsed next to us. Security got everybody out of the area apart from the three of us. I felt really awkward but in my fucked up state it didn't occur to me to walk away. So I just stood there gurning while the first aid dealt with the collapsed girl, with her mate freaking out.

I've got chickens in my back yard

Agreed, Bagleys security were the worst but it was SUCH a fucking great club!

Suffering from a small case of mood poisoning, must be something I hate.
