I'm quite partial to including visits to what I would describe as 'strip pubs' if I'm on my rounds, you know the sort: £1 in the pint glass, just-about-OK-ish looking student does a 3-minute pole dance, repeat until chucking-out time.
Some of these places aren't too bad (eg. The Queen Anne/Vauxhall since it was refurbed) and some are total dives (eg. The Nags Head/Aldgate East - which had a rather profitable C'n'R for aaages). But I experienced The Victoria in Hayes, Middlesex last night - and the girls were fantastic. To the point that instead of just dancing round a pole for a while, they, er, 'interact' with you a lot more than you expect.
A private dance cost £12 and lasted fully 10mins in a curtained-off corner but the girl didn't just dance, she practically molested me. And by that I mean she 'gave Percy a wake-up call he wasn't expecting'. This was more like the sort of thing you might expect in an ultra-expensive exclusive place in the centre of town, but no - this was a reasonably priced pub - certainly not a dive - and it made for a great couple of hours after a football afternoon (as long as the missus never gets to find out) ...

Anyone else got anywhere nice like this on their rounds that they'd like to share? (I'm talking pubs, not clubs)
