| Its been so long since we visited the club and they have made so many changes I thought it was worth another review, especially as the expansion is now at the end of the first phase. Ourplace4fun now boasts an entire new downstairs section, firstly a full (large) locker room, with new toilets facilities downstairs, secondly an outdoor “smoker” area which is lovely, clearly a lot of thought has gone into this area with outdoor heaters and an awning to keep you from being exposed to the elements! The downstairs also boasts a small “snug” secluded indoor area while the expansion continues. The movement of the locker room downstairs has really helped the flow of the club upstairs allowing for an entire new interesting area a “blind” glory hole that when the door is locked a red light lets the club know its occupied, obviously not everyone’s taste but a very fun new little area of the club.
So ill do what I always do and nail it down into good and bad;
The Good
The hosting is the best we have experienced in any club to date, Lisa and Greg are fun friendly and they have a wide knowledge of swinging and what makes for a good club which they both apply to the club. This isn’t to mention the hostesses who are always very sexy and dressed to impress!
The people, clubs can suffer from a cliquey nepotism at times and thankfully Ourplace4fun has always been full of welcoming friendly people there is never a hit of clique’s forming and it helps to create a really fun and sexy atmosphere.
The layout, Ourplace4fun is a smaller club make no mistake but the way the space is used is used as well as it can be (on the whole) there are couples only areas, glory holes, lockable rooms, open play areas and from what I understand soon to be a hot tub and cinema (with many more areas to come). There is something for almost everyone.
The rules, they have rules and they actually enforce them the “white line rule” means you need to ask permission if someone is within an area inside a white lined area to join. This means you can have open play areas in a small space and not worry about being encroached without being asked first.
The cleanliness, it’s a small thing but having hostesses who are constantly on the prowl cleaning bins and areas out removing glasses etc is again a small tick but it makes a big difference.
The price, in a time where clubs are charging insane amounts for a club in London Ourpalce4fun offers real true value and with bring your own booze it affords you a night at a fantastic club without needing to break the bank to do so, but they do this without skimping on the quality.
The Bad
Its hard to write anything here but in the interests of adding an objective view
The dance floor, due to the constraints of the club while there is a dance floor its not really useable I add it as a “bad” as I know quite a few people when looking for a club want one where they can dance the night away then go have sex, again I’m not sure what they guys can do about it if anything and its not something that overly bothers us, but it might do for some.
Lighting, now again it’s a very personal thing but I do think the lighting could go up by a single notch or two in the play areas but I might well be alone in this thought ;).
A very personal one, the opening hours I would love it if they were to open an hour or two earlier, I get the reason for not doing so (as they are open till 4am on a Saturday) but I guess it’s a testament to the club that we would like to spend longer in there ;).
Overall
Ourplace4fun is an incredible club, with the best hosting going a good range of facilities and a lovely atmosphere. A perfect club for those new to swinging or old hands we come back from nights at this club with a big smile on our faces always and cannot recommend a visit highly enough, so go along and spend a night in the smallest (not for long) and best London club you wont be disappointed!
