Club location

"Some of these clubs seem to be in quite run down areas, ie. near docks, industrial estates, next to scrap yards etc, are they safe? "
People keep going back to them so they must be safe.
Various factors for the locations such as cost, lack of nosy neighbours determine where clubs are. |

"There are various reasons for club locations as already stated.
Most clubs have a regular and steady flow of customers, so the location clearly poses no issues for those attending."
I only asked if they were safe as some look quite derelict, on the verge of colapse(in more ways than one in some cases)  |

All club premisis need to be inspected by the local council and firebrigade to ensure the fire exits and the building is suitable for purpose intended.
This includes a structural inspection by a regulated 3rd party prior to opening to the general public.

Have a look at some on this forum, boarded up windows, roofs in disrepair, doors blanked off, not very appealing really  |

It doesn't have to be aesthetically pleasing to be structurally sound.

It would help if the owners made a bit more effort with the outside, might even get them more customers. |

There are some clubs who are lucky enough to sit in acres of grounds and are secluded. Others in the city areas are often in commercial and industrial areas as some councils don't want them to be by schools, churches or in the middle of residential areas. Also, guests don't always want to walk past houses to go to a club.
As for run down, some clubs don't want to attract unwanted attention if they are on a main road. This is us. We actually state on our website that our building is an old Victorian pub and we keep the building looking run down on the outside so as to detract unwanted attention from passers by on the main road. It's actually in a good state of repair, so structurally sound...new roof, pointing done, dampcourse etc... but we just don't make it look pretty. The money goes into the interior which is far more important. Take a look at the pics of our refurb which we've been doing for the past couple of years..it's lush!!!  |

Oh and as for safety, I can't speak for other clubs as I don't know which ones you have concerns about, but we have cctv right around our perimeter as well as up and down the main road. We also have a massive 50 car car park which is secure and covered by flood lighting and CCTV, so guests can simply walk from the car park and straight into the club. We also have dedicated taxis who can bring people from hotels direct to the door. For people leaving and as a nice end to the night, on our big nights, we have a 'gatekeeper' who will walk people to their car and even tuck the ladies under and umbrella if it's raining
We also have an intercom system so we can see who is approaching the building, so not just anybody can walk in. We don't have licensed doormen as we have never needed one. The police have been called twice in 15 years for other issues on the main road that we have seen on the cctv involving other people and not customers. |

Nope! We are very busy thank you  Because most people have read our website and seen our explanation and pictures/videos of the inside |

The windows are probably boarded up to provide privacy inside! |

Totally this!! Blanked off on the outside & mirrored in the inside.
Maybe the OP thinks flashing neon lights saying ‘Swingers Club’ might help entice people wanting a discreet visit to a swingers club  |

No, it’s not.
Unfortunately, society doesn’t see it that way, which is why swingers & fetishists like to be discreet & keep their choices as a personal thing. Many of us are in jobs that we would be at risk of losing if we were ‘outed’.
Culturally, Swinging & BDSM is very much where being gay was in the 60’s - there is a stigma attached to it.
Which is why clubs actually put effort into ensuring the exterior of their premises don’t attract any attention. Unlike pubs, they don’t need ‘kerb appeal’. What they do need is to provide their guests with a safe environment - safe to play, safe to socialise & safe to remain discreet about what they are doing.
Don’t like it, don’t come. Simple |

The LGBT community don't have a problem with coming out, so why should swingers. Go on, come out of your closet and be proud to be a swinger |

"I genuinely don't think the op meant to deliberately label the two groups.
But as others have said most swingers want descretion not attention.

Thank you Scots people, glad you got it. Some people on here lose their rag very easily dont they. |

Goodness, that sounds a bit excessive |
