I live very close by, and was initially a little too nervous to venture in, the covered up windows and "hula girl" posters made me worry it was a place of ill-repute! However, when I eventually stumbled in one night with a friend we had a most excellent time! Freed of much of the pretentiousness that so often pervades late-night London drinking establishments, SLP manages to not take itself too seriously and generally, the crowd seem to follow their lead. Always good fun, crowd-pleasing, easy-to-dance-to music, and FAR-too-easy-to-drink cocktails mean that I've never had a night in here that didn't end up with smiles all around. Cocktails and food are very much "just OK" - the 5 stars is really because it's an such an awful lot of fun and you can often get in with slightly larger groups than might be allowed elsewhere.

Great open plan pub, security are very friendly and its open really late at weekends if your local happens to shut and you are still in the mood to have a boogie! The bar is efficient as well

A magical place where dreams come true. The zombie simultaneously makes and ruins your weekend.
