The Gardening Club's Wednesday night - Baby Grand is by far the best night out in London. It's full of theatre people which means lots of eye candy and great dancing. The music is top notch with lots of different styles and a bit of cheese which is always good fun. HALF PRICE WINE ALL NIGHT was the best bit I think! I couldn't believe it. The promoter( tall Irish guy) is usually around making sure everyone is having a good time which makes the night good.

You must go!

TANYA AND TEAM are stars. Great door staff despite others' experiences, will defo come again. Monday night's a top London student night; free entry, cheap drinks, awesome crowd and solid tunes. Highly recommended.

I met up with a couple of mates here a while ago (Sat I think) and the place was heaving and very hot. But the music was cool and there were some old school garage and hip-hop tracks I haven't heard for years - let alone in a club! I was well impressed with that.

Anyway I've read what people have said about the bouncers and I had a different experience, me and my mates jested with the doormen all night and it was hilarious when we went out for a cigarette now and again. They are just people like you and me but if they don't want to let you in they have their reasons. It's silly to get so upset and post a review saying how crap and rude they are - because obviously there wouldn't be people saying good things.

The drink prices are a bit of a piss-take though, I got a 2 Coronas, 1 JD&coke and 1 vodka redbull and got coin change from £30...

Wasn't much of an atmosphere in the place either - also there was a group of stupid ar$eh0les wearing dark sun shades and bumping into people (we thought that looked hilarious).

All in all not to bad of a place, but i want to try Friday as I hear it's much better.

Me and two friends and I went to The Gardening Club on a Thursday and I just can't understand some of the complaints about it that have been made on here.

The barstaff and bouncers were friendly and attentive, we didn't have to wait long at the bar and the air con seemed to be working fine.

Now it was my first time going and it may well be different on other nights but I loved it. There was a great mix of music, it was Happy Hour until midnight, our cocktails were prepared very professionally and we had the opportunity to both relax and have a bit of a dance!

I will definitely be going back

Having attended The Gardening Club for a hen night I can safely say that I will not be going back again.

The night on a whole was good, and I have to say that I like a bit of cheese. My one and major disappointment was the VIP area and the treatment we received from the safe and the manager (I think that's what he was)

After the maid of honour booked the VIP area she was told that there would be a minimum spend of £400. This was fine as it would mean that every would spend £25 each. We knew that we would go well over that, it was a hen night after all. What they did not tell the maid of honour was that we would have to spend £400 by 10 o'clock! This meant that we had an hour and a half to spend £400, given that drinks and food were half price this was really hard.

I wouldn't even mind but they didn't treat it like a VIP area, letting other people use the bar!

Needless to say that we all spent out £25 each and did not put another penny behind the bar. Shame as they would have got some much more than us.

My suggestion is loose the attitude, get better air con and bigger toilets! Then you might have something to be so pompous about.

I certainly will not be recommending this place again. Shame because it would have been an ideal club for a Saturday night uptown.

If even if your life depended on it don't go!
Despite being in the guest list the wait was still 20 minutes. On entering we were met by five different hen parties and a 25 minute wait at the bar for two overprice nasty beers (grolsch) was the icing on cake. The loo smells gave a delightful ambiance, needless to say we cut our lost and left.
For those that ignore this more fool you.

Bouncers are very rude! They seemed to go out of their way to annoy customers. Infact one bouncer started being very rude to one of our members of the party, for no apparent reason!!! I have never come across this sort of behaviour before in my life.

On the other hand, music is good. Drinks are stupidly expensive though.
