[Timmy_Lea]

I go to strip clubs on a semi-regular basis.

There's been a documentary film on one of the SKY Arts channels very recently called 'Get Em Off' made in the early 70s, maybe worth keeping an eye out for it.

Sorry should also have said its all about Soho.

Hazel, purely out of professional research and dedicated to the Britmovie code of conduct, I've been turning my gaze from the cinema and theatre buildings themselves of London in the 1950's and 1960's on the Daily Mirror website to Soho in general. Quite a number of places and personalities of Soho during those decades appear and here is one example

Easiest method of tracing the remainder is via the searchbox on the home page "Soho 1960s" or your choice of supplementary search word

There is a lot of coverage of Soho, although more on the personalities and drinking clubs in 'London Calling, A Countercultural history of London since 1945' by Barry Miles. Also has an interesting chapter on the making of Performance

Heres an 8mm glamour film from the 1960s that might be of interest here.

Not really, I can't say that I ever found anything sordid in the noble art of striptease.

By today's standards there's a very curious anecdote in Peter Bowles' autobiography of a couple of years ago, where he recounts being taken to what sounds as if it might have been some kind of "clip joint" by Patrick McGoohan, but a moor classy one than those mentioned upthread. The events must have taken place in 1964 as Bowles is evidently referring to being drinking buddy with McGoohan when "Fish on the Hook" was in production.

“Patrick McGoohan and I became very friendly during the shooting of Danger Man. I played an Egyptian villain in one of those…………. Anyhow Pat and I hit it off and we often went out together. He took me to nightclubs - places I had never been to, and have never been to since. Places where girls flock to your table, especially if you’re a big TV star like Pat was, and you buy them drinks …… and they chat. That’s all……. We enjoyed their company and they were our sort of age and just fun.”

Trying to place Churchill's (see briefly in Randall and Hopkirk's It's Supposed to be Thicker than Water and in the Stanley Long films such as London in the Raw). I know it was on New Bond Street, but I'm unclear as to which number. Any ideas, please, folks? Apparently it was open till 1980.
