Very small, but perfectly formed, Amika is gorgeous in terms of decor. A lovely place for a relaxed evening with friends, but not ideal if it's a clubbing extravaganza you had in mind. For a start, there is no dance floor and space really is an issue with seating taking up far too much of what there is. The ambience is chilled and friendly. Yes, drinks are expensive, but that's to be expected of anywhere in Kensington.

I was there last night and this place is dreadful. In spite of having gone in quite drunk, this place sobered me up cos I was so bored! Pretentious prats, no dancefloor (how stupid! how can a club not have a place to dance?) overcrowded, dreadful DJs playing tacky music and drinks are mega expensive. Fair enough, the decor is v nice but this is the only thing this club has going for it.

I came to London just for a couple of weeks. Last Saturday my friend took me to Amika, from the outside I thought we were going to a normal club, but when I walked in the décor took my breath away. Wasn’t expecting much when I went (as I am partying a lot, been to a lot of clubs), but have to say how wonderful a place it is!
Excellent music, great atmosphere! Prices are higher than in West End, but you know what you are paying for! It is not an average club, it is a high class venue!

Hello. I agree with most reviewers here that this place is awful. I went there for the first time last night with 3 other girls. Why they have the nerve to charge £20 before 11pm I will never know, as when you get in there it isn't really that great inside and the drinks are sooo expensive. The music was bland and uninspiring too -just regular trendy monotone house but with no upbeat blends to get you motivated to move. This establishment just strikes me as being "greedy". The people inside the club are really young and have about 20 brain cells between them.

On top of that, when I was waiting outside after my night was over I saw an alarming display of bad behaviour from the bouncers. Some girl had accidentally left her coat and mobile phone in the club and the power-tripping bouncer refused to allow her entry back in!! It was 3am in the morning!

On their website they claim to be "unpretentious" - what a load of crap! If they were unpretentious they wouldn't start off badly by charging every single person regardless of being there on the guestlist and before 11pm and everything. It lacks the charm and ambience to be as revoltingly expensive as what it is, so it will probably do itself out of business at this rate.

full of pretty rough girls in their underwear, and a rather large amount of idiotic pretentious underage drinkers.
staff are rude, atomsphere awful and club is tacky. stay away.

Shame this club has followed many others - used to be great, but had one of the worst clubbing experiences in London last night. Way overcrowded with a very tacky, bordering on underage, crowd - and the particularly tasteless & cheap strippers/dancers with not so great bodies made this previously classy venue tasteless and cheap. Used to be a favourite - much better fun to be had just about anywhere else now!!

The reviews below say it all. Amika is pretentiousness of the greatest form.

We got there 11pm last Saturday and were greeted by cold faced bouncers who shouted down the line to people as if they were new army recuits. We waited outside for over half an hour (similar length of wait for tables too) during which we were witness to a nasty drunken brawl that broke out on the doorstep of the club. You do not expect to see this kind of thing in this type of venue - then again, despite being located in Kensington, this is no place of class.

Eventually, our turn came for our meeting with the "clipboard bitch" (term borrowed from review below). She was so rude to my friend for no apparent reason, and when I asked what the problem was, she told me to step out of the line unless I wanted a punch in the face! Seriously, what kind of establishment is this?!

Amika has a lot to learn in terms of client relations. The manager does nothing to check the rudeness of his staff and when I spoke to him about our situation, the best he could do was to suggest we join the back of the queue. Not even an apology was offered to me. Go through that a second time? I don't think so! We had a much better night elsewhere.
