“Not just Lounging around..."

This event is funky, trendy and cool.

From the spectacular high rise views of the Penthouse over lit up London icons, to leather sofas, to music designed to get you up and dancing, there is a lot to offer.

The ticket price is pretty standard for lesbian club nights in London, however inside it’s on the pricier end of events on offer for cloakroom (£2 per item) and the higher end drinks charges (two singles with a dash for £9), be prepared to spend (we recommend you take cash as there’s also a 15% surcharge on paying for drinks by card). There were sweets, mince pies and free shots on offer though as it was the Christmas special!

But Lounge is a great night out to let loose on the dancefloor – with a fab mix of music current and retro dance classics (the DJs were Uncle Jane, Philly and Christine Townsend). It’s one to come along to with a group of friends – most of the crowd was various groups of friends. It’s a good range of ages of women up for a good night out.

The event is described as for "metrosexual women" based on a Sex and The City style night out for women. It’s definitely Cosmopolitan, darling!

Oh, and take the lift up – save your energy and avoid the 7 floors of stairs.
