| The club was a little difficult to find at first, but if you can spot the big RBS building close to the tube station, it's pretty much opposite that! The club has a large double wooden door with a small address plate above it for clarification so you know you got the right place - and for the more observant a new silver CCTV camera above the door and new silver door bell (which was the give away initially).
The club also has a Ibis Hotel literally 2 mins walk around the corner (If you have been to Xtasia/Prem Inn in West Bromwich, it's less of a walk that!)
Was greeted with a very warm welcome by Klaudia and Louise, and as had already pre registered and brought along the required ID the sign in process was very easy. Was shown around the ground and lower floor of the club by Shane and first thoughts on entering the lounge area of the club was that it was very nice. The sofa area is well laid out for initial socialising. Apparently there is an upper floor, but sadly it was closed at the time so didn't get a look around up there.
Whilst walking around the club, it was very reminiscent of the old F Club (F Block, on the single floor), with it's differing rooms and offerings around the club, allowing you to explore and perhaps meet others in the corridors, vaults and areas as you make you way around the club.
Had some fun in various parts of the club, a few chats with the owners/staff and few other guests but sadly had to leave around 00:20 and make the last train from Liverpool St.
Have helped out and hosted clubs in the past, but due to current work commitments it's not something I'm able to do any more, which is a real shame as I think La Boudior is going places and would have been fun helping it grow.
Hopefully will be able to arrange another visit soon, as would definitely go back as had a really good feeling vibe about he club, no doubt more guests will frequent it and it will become a popular destination for guests not only visiting but also those who live in and around the Capital also.
