The trick is to not let on you're a 'nobody'. It's all about confidence. Never ever lose your rag with a bouncer - just smile sweetly and switch on the charming banter... Try to go in mixed groups or as a couple, as many clubs prefer that... Also, know your members clubs. Places like Groucho Club won't let you in no matter how good a blagger you are, but Jalouse will let you in Weds and Thursdays... If you can meet new people on the scene earlier in the week/evening when places like Burlington Club and Kingly Club allow anyone who looks the part in then it opens the doors to the more exclusive places. Often you have to be recommended by existing members, but if you have the money to spend, it's worth contacting the venues direct to ask about membership. Some clubs only allow in media professionals or creative types and don't care about the money, so do your research... If you go out enough and start mixing in those circles then it's surprisingly easy to get a foot in the door, especially during these credit crunch times...
Good luck! |  | | | |
