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.
IT LOOKS SO POSH AND EXSPENSIVE!!!
WOW!!! ITS UNBELIEVEABLE I HAVE NEVER GONE ANYWHERE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
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.

Aura on a Friday is a bit of a strange affair. A nice enough club, with nice clientele and atmosphere, but who their target market is, is a little confused. One minute Old school House, followed by RnB, then funky House. We spent the night like yo-yos getting up to dance and then promptly sitting back down a bit. A bit of clarity and consistency wouldn't go a miss. Never-the-less, nice enough.
