The beer selection (£4.50 / 330ml can) was solid and included beers I hadn't seen elsewhere in London, so that was a treat. Bartenders were swift. Sound system was better than most places in the States, though with more bass, it sounded more distorted. Bathrooms can get a little cramped since the area is narrow.

Still nothing but good words for the things they do well at VU. Hardly any hassle getting through the door, they hadn't oversold the place (which they might have been tempted to do) and the single bar coped well with the demand. Getting out was no hassle too. It all seemed a little too easy. Importantly though, the acoustics here are great and it was a really enjoyable gig. Yes I have big crush on Kate, but there's no bias in this review. Honest. I'm very tempted to get tickets for whoever else is playing here soon...

During our visit the musician Colin Andrew played/sang and he was amazing. With notes of Paolo Nutini, he really added to the overall vibe and made the night a hit. All in all I can't speak highly enough about The Bloomsbury Club drinks and vibe and would absolutely return in a second!

I walked through the rest of the collection, which is almost overwhelming. There is a lot to see there. You really do need to use the audio guide, because there is so much art in a small space. I also appreciated the staff. They were helpful, without being intrusive. One of the things I enjoy the most was that people there were truly interested in art. They stopped and looked. Unlike the crowd at the National Gallery, which just went up to a painting, took a photo, and left without ever even looking at it.

The best part of the collection was, to my taste, European weapons/armory on the first floor. This section is huge and ranging from Middle Ages to late 18th century. The gun selection is exquisite.

Staff are helpful and willing to help. There is a restaurant/cafe to refresh after long day of sightseeing.

I was looking for a fun night out with my son while visiting London, and this experience delivered…read moreon every front: fun, original, entertaining, and truly memorable. Afterwards, my son said it was the best thing he's done in London. The evening begins with a short tour of their museum, followed by two 20-minute showcases of close-up, table magic. During the intermission, you're taken through the second part of the museum tour, then onto two more magic showcases to close out the night. Each showcase features a different magician. If you're from the UK, you've probably heard of the Magic Circle but you might not know they host their own live showcase. If you're visiting from abroad, the Magic Circle is essentially the elite, semi-secretive "trade association" of magicians -- not just in the UK, but globally. Their museum even includes original artifacts from Houdini. A few other pointers related to their Friday night "Close-Up At The Magic Circle": - The VIP tickets are worth paying for. - There is a full bar. - The building is a little hard to locate and somewhat out of the way (besides Euston Station) but don't let that put you off. - The event works for kids, adults, date nights, pretty much every occasion. - The show starts around 7:30 but suggest getting there around 6:45. It lasts around 2 1/2 hours. Highly recommend.

If the dubious crowd weren't bad enough, the basement club's sound system was WEAK ... so muffled you could barely detect bass... I've had better speakers in a rental car. The mainly Russian crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves - dancing around their tables with relish... but we just couldn't get into it So... put-off by the harlots and bored of the music, we wandered upstairs to the casino. It was like a scene out of an old Western movie. A stagnant empty room with exactly TWO men drinking Scotch and playing Blackjack. The rest of the dealers were just shuffling their cards... "Is it always like this?" I asked one of them. "It's been a quiet week," he replied... (Or perhaps year? I wondered... judging from the staleness in the air...) Undaunted by the eerie scene, my friend bought some chips for a bit of roulette. Twenty minutes later, and my friend at least that many quid poorer, we left. More than anything, FIFTY London just felt depressing. I don't know what it was like a year or two ago... maybe it can *be* happening... but the night I was there, it felt like it had bitten the recession dust pretty hard.
