Modern Londoners wanting to get a taste of Cynthia Payne-partying may want to try The F Club, an absolutely 100 per cent legal (we can’t stress that enough) calendar of private parties where ‘attractive, liberated adults can enjoy each others’ company, and, if desired, explore and enjoy sensual and sexual experiences’. Feel free to dress as a judge… with suspenders, obviously. Membership £5 per month or £50 per year for frequent F-ers. Read more

This isn’t in London, but for capital-dwellers seeking a genuinely dirty weekend away it’s not to be missed. Located in sleepy Leamington Spa, a quick train trip from Euston, this is touted as the UK’s finest purpose-built bed, breakfast and dungeon facility. There are two suites for overnighters, featuring rotating wheels, bondage benches, wet rooms, strap cages, a St Andrew’s Cross (an X-shaped restraint structure) and various other S&M and fetish devices. It certainly beats a Corby trouser press. Read more
Arches 47B & 47C South Lambeth Rd, London, SW8 1RH
Touted somewhat enigmatically to those not involved in the scene as ‘Europe’s premier dress-code bar’, The Hoist is a London bolthole for gay men into leather, uniforms, rubber, industrial and the skinhead look. You also have to wear boots. Read more
Fairchild Street, London, EC2A 3NS
There are incarnations of this famous gay sauna chain in Waterloo, Limehouse, Streatham and Vauxhall, but the biggest and busiest remains the branch in Shoreditch. Open from noon to 9am, it boasts the expected indoor pool, steam room and saunas – but also a twenty-man Jacuzzi, a giant 'fun shower', cinema and video rooms. And, if all that makes you peckish, a snack bar. Read more
256 & 260 Old Street, London, EC1V 9DD
Don’t expect quite the same level of nudity (or debauchery) as Chariots, but for heterosexual hedonists Club Aquarium provides an opportunity to strip down to swimsuits. The club boasts a pool and a jacuzzi, and the music policy ranges from ‘70s and ‘80s nights to super-camp, hen party favourite Adonis cabaret. Read more
These intimate themed events are for sophisticated swingers ready to strip off and swap in style. Expect around 30 couples and the occasional single girl. Venues vary, but they are always reliably sumptuous (this isn’t the kind of thing that really works in a room above a pub). Read more
These friendly, sexy soirées feature an international crowd and a relaxed dress code. It’s invitation only (check the website for details), and events take place in only the most high-end venues – penthouses, country houses and stately homes. They aim to provide an environment where people can have mature conversations about their sexual fantasies that they may not be able to in their regular social groups – so be prepared to share your deepest sex secrets. Read more
Promising to be particularly welcoming and friendly to newcomers, the organisers of this swingers’ club also pledge that it’s not a gang-bang, and nobody is paid to be there. The purpose-built venue features a specialised grope area, glory holes, a harem bed, video screens and much more. You have to be a member to attend and certain nights are restricted to couples or single females. www.ourplace4fun.com. The secret venue is 20 mins by tube from Leicester Square, or ten mins by rail from King’s Cross. Read more
Club S.O.P, 37 Wharfdale Rd, London, N1 9SD
This gay night for ‘watersports enthusiasts’ isn't aimed at fans of windsurfing or water polo. Club night SOP is definitely a place for pissing – there’s no dress code (blokes can wear anything from suits or jeans to Speedos), and beginners are welcome, just be ready to get soaked. Read more
Wardour Street, London, W1D 6QF ((7758 1000/ www.wlondon.co.uk).
You wouldn’t normally expect to find sexy and chic on Leicester Square, but this new hotel offers a rather different mini-bar which, in addition to the usual bottles of vodka and packets of M&Ms, contains a Tenga Egg sex toy for him and mini vibrator for her. Read more
51-53 Southwark St, SE1 1TE (7403 4001/ www.xxl-london.com).
This nightclub nestled in the arches near London Bridge is the biggest bear club in the UK. It’s also one of the friendliest specialist venues you’ll visit – with up to 2,000 large and furry gents enjoying the pounding sound-system and each other’s company. Read more
Overseen by Viktor Wynd (of Little Shop of Horrors fame), the Last Tuesday Society runs – along with seances, lectures and literary discussions – an irregular series of debauched balls. Make sure you don your finest outfit – as their website bluntly states: ‘Please do not come if you are ugly or ill-dressed.’ Read more
349 Kennington Lane, London, SE11 5QY

Hi, coming to London from May4-12, GF is really into being spanked, would like to find a clean, classy, club which promotes and specializes in spanking. She isn't a swinger at all, but might want the slap of another. Can anyone suggest any place? Were staying in Chelsea... TY
@JB, were you one of those turned down for membership or invite to a MASSPLEASURES.COM party because you were not hot enough or elite enough? I absolutely agree with the way MASSPLEASURES runs their parties by invitation only, it's not about the money but quality decent attractive people wanting to experience with their sexuality in a safe and secure environment where women are made to feel 10 times safer than in a normal club , as a single girl new this whole scene , honestly speaking I will recommend this laid back, totally non judgemental crowd to other girlies... girls have the power to go as far as the like without men pressuring them or peering at them like at kk and all these other commercial parties...
I have exactly the same thought and question as Shayla - please comment if you know of anywhere!
Found a refreshing change in an old establishment namely 'SophistiCats'. Usually these gentlemen's clubs are either super stuffy and soulless or full of vultures, but not here. Nice calm relaxed atmosphere, great company, entertaining stage with at least three dancers on at any time obviously having a good time, and it shows too. Pricey drinks but, to be expected, bite the bullet and buy a bottle. We had a laugh and other tables some with females in tow clearly did too. Recommended late bar (we left at almost sunrise) and entertainment, just off Oxford Street near Bond Street, but bring a big wallet and treat yourself
Want to take my boyfriend to a cub where we can watch and get it on with each other. Not really interested in swinging or taking all my clothes off. Guess we are just voyeurs. Any suggestions? Really would like to find a mainstream club where things are known to happen!!!
As some parties are not mentioned I feel I should make an addition to other alternative nights out in London.
Killing Kitten das indeed the highest profile but attracts also too many sexy people who are only there out of curiosity.
Fever Parties was the first and remains still today the best true sexiest soiree attracting true swingers with a touch of class. This is the real thing!
City Slickers Parties is catching up very fast with its unique style aiming at giving ladies the chance to live out some fantasies and get as much attention as they want. It seems a very safe environment and the ladies are tempted rather than pressured into enjoying themselves.

well, Chariots in Shoreditch just burned down last Sunday morning...
why not just list the simple obvious places like Subversion, Club Rub, Torture Garden, and last but most certainly not least Antichrist, which .. based upon my in depth exploration of all these places .. takes the fetish biscuit ...
Good list, I'd add "Night of the Senses" too, even though it's only an annual event. Nice to see somewhere that focuses on a charity angle too.
Confirm on Last Tuesday....the formula doesnt deliver well on any promise. piles of stinking food (what's that about!) and public schoolboys fencing with some dreadful orchestra in background.
Aphrodisiacs can be great fun (new venue however is always a risk) but its more risque than wild.
F Club....hmmm. Suburban and soulless on an industrial estate. eek. but have heard that "bigger nights" are better.
Mass Pleasures small....and over-sold in terms of "eliteness"
Killing Kittens gets good reviews looking forward to going x
Not in this list but among the best is City Slickers.....
Torture Garden (although often too big to be relaxing) remains probably best of the fetish genre...although RUB and Decadence are contenders.
I need to argue with the latest comment. last tuesday society has been the worst nights I've ever been to in London, totally dreadful. I've been to Torture Garden and other "kinky" evenings, last tuesday is a total rip off, bad staff, worst sound system around, poor shows, if any, expensive. To avoid at ... any price !
I have been to numerous clubs Crimson and Festival of Sins being those most recent. I disagree with the comments above. They are fantastic nights, with great people. Normally there is an entry fee and coat check fee but what club has those for free?
The nights are fun and interesting normally with a great soundsystem and fun music...go ...def go for it
Interesting to find out I'm not the only person to have had an unpleasant experience at Last Tuesday Society. The one I attended was probably at a different venue but many of the things mentioned in the previous review also applied. On top of that, I found a lot of the punters were far from enlightened or open minded. Because I was a scantily clad male, many people saw it fit to throw drinks at me repeatedly besides pinching me, insulting me and invading my personal space. An "adult" night? The words "stuck up", pretentious and disrespectful spring to mind to describe many of the punters' behaviour.
Also, it was definitely not the best looking crowd I've seen in London... and as how people were attired... well, with a few exceptions, lack of imagination ruled.
As I told the organisers at the time, it was not a on Tuesday night but it definitely was my last. Things don't seem to have improved much.
