We went for a girly night out on a sunday. I have to agree with all the other posts the drinks were pricey and the bar staff were so rude. The doormen were total perverts but i guess there nothin new there. When we got in it was empty and the music was on quite low and it seemed to be full on girls. But after midnight it picked up. the music was good, rnb, funky house etc. We met a group of guys who thought they were high rollers and so we didnt have to buy any more drinks for the rest of the evening which was a bonus considering they were so expensive. So after a couple of drinks we all had a really good time. Id say that aura's the type of place you go on pay day if you want to splash some cash and if your not adverse to having drinks bought for you by guys who think they're flash.

Ridiculously over-priced for what it is and seriously rude management. For a club that charges £20 entrance fee and £10 for a drink, I find this quite frankly outrageous. I would suggest there are a multitude of similar places to Aura in London that can offer better music, reasonably priced drinks and a more friendly crowd.

I was expecting a lot from this club when I saw it's website, so I was disappointed when I got there.

the first thing I can say about it is that the staff are very rude. The drinks were really expensive (all of us payed over £10 per drink). The barman didn't have change for a £20 and asked me if I had a 50p. When I couldn't find one, he gave me a look and slammed the money down (there was no-one else at the bar waiting to be served).

The club itself is very small and nothing spectacular to look at, although it has 2 nice chandeliers. You'd have to pay me to go back.

I go out in London quite often, to some really nice clubs. This was my first time at Aura, and I wasn't impressed. The decor's nice and the music was ok, but the staff were rude and didn't make the slightest effort to make us feel welcome. We were charged a £10 service charge for a bottle of wine, and that was bar service - not table service! I wouldn't go there again, it really isn't worth the money.

I had the misfortune to eat at this club last Christmas. The food was absolutely disgusting. It was served just below lukewarm, congealed and overcooked. The staff serving were amongst the rudest I've ever come across. I'm sure the Aura is fine as a nightclub, but never eat there.

I went to Aura on Saturday with a big group and it was very good. The staff were very nice, and the music was good. The drinks were a bit expensive, but the night was very good so made up for it. Definitely worth going to.

Perhaps the other 'anonymous' should go back to school and learn the difference between 'their' and 'there' before slagging other people off. - Report

I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to celebrate somewhere chic and swanky.

I had my birthday dinner with 5 friends and another 10 friends joined us afterwards in the club on Sat 12th April. It was my birthday on 13th and therefore we celebrated at midnight.

What an evening!! Matt the the manager was absolutely fantastic, the food is super quality (I am a qualified food inspector) and the service was great. Although the kitchen did get the timing a bit messed up, Matt and another girl (don't know her name) made up for it by making us feel so special during the rest of the evening.

Every time one of my guest arrived at the door, Matt would personally go to the door and fetch that person, what a star!!!

The music was good, funky with some R&B tunes, not too radical but still on a mainstream. The people were mixed age and styles, nothing rough, which is what I wanted.

Perfect place for a classy, unpretentious evening. Thank you Matt.

Are you kidding - was this the first time you've been out since the eighties???The place is a shadow of itself and the food is dire. Avoid like a c-list celebrity and spend your hard earned cash elsewhere! - Report
