Backstreet Bar & Grille

London's only true fetish bar left. Very reasonable drinks prices. Located right on Mile End tube stop. Decor hasn't changed or been revamped since the 80s. Very run down in places but sleazy.

London's oldest and only remaining leather bar. Great staff who are incredibly friendly. good atmosphere and always fun to visit

The proper Backstreet nights which John the owner hosts catering for the leather and rubber scene are really good, and I would always recommend them. Really sleazy venue which hasn't changed much from the 80's. Not many of these venues left in London, so enjoy it while it lasts, especially with other venues closing and if you are into leather and rubber. But avoid Buff/ClubCP naked nights. The doorman/coat check is really grumpy and unhelpful. If you ask him any reasonable question his stock response is "How long is a piece of string." Hmm very helpful, NOT! Then he wanders off sulking, like a 'moon faced frog scouring the club for chicken' of which there is none! Really nice bar boy who is either in leather/rubber or naked. Update: Just noticed "Mr Grumpy" is in fact Alan who is writing his own reviews below. Scammer!
