Just NO - unless you like being being approached by horny men and dancing to dreadful music/sound system.

Beware. On Anon is the worst I have ever been to in my life. And I am 28. Do not believe when people write something good about On Anon as it is the management themselves. Could have gone to many more clubs in London for £45 per person. Even the 1 start is Undeserved. If I could give it -10, that is what I would do. I went to On Anon with a group of friends for the ney and was very Dissapointed with staff, drink prices, club in all was not as on the images (there was nowhere to sit (at all) only on the floor. Pictures show seats and lovely themed rooms, well guess what. You do not even get to step inside as this had to be "pre-booked" or some bull like that. Then these teens where looking for a fight and started basically just ranting and I called one of the workers there but she just looked at me and the people who wanted to get into a fight with my friends for no reason at all, and just looked away and basically wanted nothing to do with it. If you are a classy over 25 person, On Anon is not for you. There were allot of 17-19 year olds who basically were there just to pick on people. No one even bothered to check id's (and I am always asked for my id as I look very young for my age). I will stop now as I cannot be bothered to write any more I am just disappointed for going there when I could have gone to my usual clubs and had a fantastic time. The night was meant to finish at 4am but all the over 25's started leaving at 2am and there were only the kiddies left so we ended up leaving at 2.30am as-well. Basically the club was only out to make money and did not even care if people were enjoying themselves. Hated it and am Quite angry.

What! Three stars! . Alright people On Anon or should I say dive is undeserving of three stars, try out 1 for size. Normally these kinds of clubs are not normally my scene but as a couple of my friends from uni were going clubbing there. I decided it really couldn't be that bad, not one of my finest decisions. I got there a couple of minutes later than my friends and asked the bouncers if I was at the right venue, they just stood there staring at me with very hostile looks on their faces, another customer had to tell me that I was at the right place. I then tried to get in and the bouncers started on me about not being able to come inside on accompanied, I explained to them as politely as possible that I had friends inside I also explained to them that id met an old friend at a club some nights earlier and shed told me she would be at On Anon tonight id taken her number but somehow managed to get it mixed up and I showed the bouncers the text messages all previously dated so theres no question that I made it up. They still didn't let me in and they told me that it was for my own safety and that if I got drunk there would be someone to take me home so I called out my mate who explained to the bouncer that we were together, and for his troubles they threatened to throw him out. Turns out the club is incapable of getting women to their venues and want the customers to do this for them. I most certainly will not be going back and would advise others not to.

Onanon is the place where I met my husband for the 1st time. I decided to go there to commemorate our first anniversary. The guy who I agreed to have a "birthday extravaganza" was very polite. I told him that it was an surprise to my husband, that he didn’t know that all our friends were coming too. I went earlier to have a little dinner with my husband, we got a table at ground floor, on a place where he couldn’t see ours friends coming in (where I had agreed with the guy 2 b4). I couldn't enjoy my dinner because the front door was completely opened. I was so cold that we had to dinner with coats on and a scarf on my legs. After finish dinner we had to go upstairs where was warmer, but not close to our reserved table, as was waiting some friends to arrive. The day I paid, the guy told me that he couldn’t tell me where my table would be but, someone would take my friends directly to my reserved table. Then the 2nd disaster… 3 of my friends told my name on entrance but nobody led them to the table, so they started to walk around in the club to see if the could find the table, but before they find the table they found me and my husband… so, my surprise didn’t work! I took everybody to my reserved table where there was already some friends and all of them told me that they had to find the table for themselves. The girl who seems to be in charge of our table was very kind, food and quantity was good, but the drink (cake) they brought to us was juice and ice… I don’t like strong drinks but that one was far from an alcoholic drink. Very poor dressed area, no baloons! Dj was ok. 3rd floor was closed. We went to cloakroom at about 2.15am to take ours coats and went to ground floor to put them on as basement was a bit crowded. But a security told us to get out. So I asked him to wait as I was putting my coat on yet. So he said to everybody to wait me outside, my brother didn't accept that and he was even more rude, telling us to get out! Althought the club closes at 3am

Note to MD:
change the security team please! They are very rude, very aggressive to the point of pushing you. They shout and scream when they could just talk to you. This was not only one member of the security team who behaved this way but was repeated with many. if anyone behaved like that in the street the police would arrest them so why is it deemed acceptable for your security team to behave in that way??

advise anyone not to go to this place or any other venues this company operates.

i will not be returning

I held a charity event there on Saturday night and the club itself looks great, the dj's are fab and the bartenders are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the manager. We hired out 2 bars upstairs for our private charity event and were charging people who hadn't pre-bought tickets at the entrance of the bars we hired. I was told that we weren't allowed to have any signs telling people to come straight upstairs and we couldn't have anyone standing on the door to make sure that they weren't charged £10 by the club on entry. Apparently the club would make sure that our clients would be sent straight upstairs to us after saying our name on the door. Instead, it turns out that the club was telling people that they had to pay £10 downstairs even if they were there for our party. They were not given a refund and therefore the charity couldn't take money from these people. The manager told me that it was my fault for not having people downstairs on the door, (which I was told I wasn't allowed) and that the charity would have to refund them. He was rude and aggressive, threatening to throw me out for swearing when I said that it was ridiculous. I'm sure ridiculous isn't a swear word! In short, these greedy people took hundreds of pounds worth of charity money and I will never recommend On Anon to anyone.

I went to On Anon with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, we stumbled across it when looking for a drink after going to a comedy night. We didn't realise it was a multistorey club!

When we were told the price (£10) to get in we decided not to bother, but the lady bouncer tapped me on the shoulder and ushered us in for free.

Once in there we started off on the top floor and had a cocktail and then moved onto explore the club after that. We only planned to have one drink but ended up staying till 2-3am and had a really good time!

Everyone seemed to be having fun and there was no pretentious atmosphere or hostility. We did witness the bouncers escorting some people out but they could barely walk so it was probably for the best!

We will definately visit again!

From A french in hollidays in london:why I don't give 5 stars? The security service! The door supervisors are very rude. Guys, you are not in war zone, you are in piccadilly! I am French door supervisor in Paris and suburbs and in some clubs, if they have the same behaviour, they could be shoot by the badboys! A suggestion for the security service: smile, be friendly, it had never killed anybody and you are not in a warzone(i know I repeat) like Bagdad or Fahloujah. A suggestion for the On Anon manager: change the security service!

I've been to On Anon a few times, and always had a great time, so I decided to celebrate my birthday there last week. It was great! I had booked a Birthday package, so when we all arrived we had our own booth with balloons and cupcakes and sparkly things!
The best thing was the huge Birthday Cake Cocktail, which we all shared...a great start to the night. Cos the place has loads of different rooms as well, there was something for everyone music wise - great night had by all!!

I love on anon its fantastic it has a lot to offer it has 8 or 9 bars which are all different so always something for everyone. we went on a girls night out its was great we got some free shots on arrival which got us going, we ended up in the white room which i have to say if you have ever been to Ibiza and have got the blues when u get back then GO TO ON ANON.

Love this multi level multi bar place we were there on Saturday night and it was like going to many different bars in one night. They've got a Club floor call the White Bar and it was really cool reminds me of my Ibiza days (many moons ago!)
Two of the girls have just booked their birthdays back there next month so I think it deserves more stars! xx

If you can't get in any where else, then go there. I went 4 a friends 21st Birthday. I was put on a guestlist. However because I arrived 10 minutes later than my group, I had 2 pay double then what I was expecting. The security staff trully think they're in some sort of top organisation! So rude! The drink prices are average. But hey Central London is expensive anyway! Another thing. It gets soooooooooooo cramped! U literally can't move! Drinks are spilt on u by other people. Feet getting stepped on. Serioulsy. If it gets that cramped. Stop letting people in! Your venue seriously can't fit that many!

I went here with my boyfriend and I thought it was great.

It's not that it's a bad club, it's just that it's so generic that I can't remember exactly when I went or what happened. So unmemorable it will make you feel 75 and senile, one to avoid!

This place is run with military precision. Security staff, complete with CIA style in-ear communications system walk in crack teams across the floors. Property police in combats patrol the place looking at your belongings and trying to scare you into using the cloakrooms with stories of how people are watching you all night and will steal your stuff. You are not trusted to have glass at any point - with wine decanted into plastic bottles as if it was a pool party. Totally paranoid and rather unpleasant.

They also seem to be a little unclear on which country this is. I pecked my boyfriend on the cheek and was immediately confronted by one of the security (present in a line of security staff sweeping the floor) who told me "stop that, this is not a gay club". When I asked him to say that again he did. I told him that he was not allowed to discriminate like that and he told me that this was a private club and he could say what he wanted. I reminded him that he couldn't actually discriminate on any basis of race, religion or sexual orientation in the UK.

At this point he literally dragged me to the end of the room by my arm (out of the eyes of the security cameras) -I can only guess what he was going to do as I got away. My boyfriend was then thrown out of the club as I watched.

So, if you want to go to a scary, discriminating, unpleasant club that thinks it's a self-governing island in the middle of London then go ahead. I personally think we need a wakeup call what's acceptable in 2010. Behaviour like this makes a mockery of civil liberties.

Have been to this club quite a few times and me and my friends have generally always enjoyed ourselves and had a great night, which is why we keep on returning! We always spend most of our time in the cheesypop room as the rnb room is ussually overly packed and smells of b.o. I love this club as you get a nice mixed crowd of people, generally my age group (mid 20s) I've never had any trouble with the door staff/security and the bar staff are really friendly! Highly recommend this club!

Tried to go to this club on Saturday 21/11/09.

I had 2 male friends visiting from abroad who had never been to London and they were very eager to go to a typical London club so I thought On Anon would be a nice place given the size of the place.

We got to the club at about 10.30 sober and smartly dressed and went to the "non-guestlist" section. Upon walking towards the entrance the doorman looked at us like if he had seen a turd and told us: "guestlists only".

Needless to say that while deciding where to go instead we saw other guys+GIRLS joining the "non guestlist" section and just whizzing in...

Personally I think that in 2009 this sexist attitude by little nazis with a clipboard in their hands it's simply pathetic.

At an entrance fee of around £15 pounds to get in, I wasn’t impressed. The drinks were at reasonable price.

Absolutely no space within the club! Attempting to dance in this club was like attempting to dance on a Victoria line train during peak time. Virtually impossible!!!!

The DJ was really poor on the night. Based of earlier reviews, I don’t think he actually needs training, I think he needs to be put down!!!!

For the DJ who played on the 28th of August 09, “What the hell were you thinking when decided you play Peter Andre?”

On a last note, I would suggest to look elsewhere if you looking for a proper night out, as you'll only find will yourself consistently shifting between the 3 floors looking for good music, which personally I don’t think you’ll get throughout the night?

After reading all these reviews on view I was actually not up to going to on anon last night. However I was quite pleased.

I found staff professional and drinks prices reasonable. I had fun.

One of the bars was closed due to some kind of renovation. one of the staff gave me an invitation for a relaunch party in September.

that was quite nice! it was my first time at on anon and I will come back in September!

The door staff are shocking. Rude and patronising. Arrived for a friends 30th birthday party and they would not let myself and another gentleman in as it was 'mixed couples' only. However single gentleman are allowed in and as many girls as possible. Also we could have easily just tagged along with some girls from another party.
The doorman's attitude was awful, and the other guy who was obviously head doorman was typically rude. Billy big balls, thinks he is the man because he is working the door at a two bit naff nightclub in the middle of London that's good for tourists and people with more money than sense, especially music sense. He almost made the birthday girl cry with shouts of 'look in the small print, its printed in bold', when asked about the door policy, which as we all know is a loud of obnoxious rubbish. but hey what are they gonna do about it. Ruined a girls birthday. Thanks.

I reserved an area in On Anon for 15 of us for my boyfriends birthday and it wasn't until afterwards that I read the below reviews so was unsurprisingly apprehensive.

However, when we arrived the staff we pleasant and directed all the party, who arrived seprately, to the reserved area.

Considering we were there during Happy Hour, the bar wasn't too busy and the prices were very reasonable considering it's location right in the heart of Piccadilly!

I can't comment on the club area as we didn't use this, but to use as a meeting point for a few drinks I would highly recommend!

Hi Went out on 18/06/09 for my girl friends birthday, found the place over crowed, Best description is like having rats in a cage...

Can't walk around without having someones sweat on you, couldn't dance. A right S**t hole.

I will never ever in my life recommend anyone to go here...

This place is TERRIBLE! First the bouncers tried to tell the guy in our group he could not come in.

It should have been an indication, but we didn't pay attention. My other friend wanted a drink, so we argued our way in and the night got worse from there.

The music was top 40 crap songs pumped through all the rooms. The whole place is filthy.

I will never go here again. It's a meat market with an attitude problem.

i went to On Anon on the 13/06/09,this is one of the best clubs I've ever been to.went we a group of people and we had a ball.The r n b room played amazing tunes and we danced all thru d nite
will def go there again and again

El

London

was unfortunate enough to be forced to go on anon on saturday night for a friend's birthday. typical west end wannable 'slick' club.

overcrowded on all levels other than ground floor bar, full of sleaze balls who kept pestering my female friends and wouldnt take no for an answer.

drink prices still reasonable for london but DJ on main floor needs to go on training course and bouncers need to stop thinking they are elite commandos ready for war

I came to onanon on Saturday night for my 25th birthday and I had a great night. Onanon is a great place to go if you want to dance the night away! We had fun sharing jugs of cocktails and getting lost in all the different themed bars!

I had a great night at On Anon last Saturday. It was my birthday so I reserved a table on the first floor (the best area I could ask for).

I paid £25 and got it back on the night as a bar tab. good deal! very nice atmosphere, price acceptable for central London. music was great too, especially bar with 80's 70's!!! we had so much fun over there. I'll come back soon :)

Full of sleazy blokes that will think you girlfriend is a doll to freely play with. I've never seen a club so ridiculously packed with extremely rude staff - I've never been barged so much by glass collectors and their manners leave little to be desired.

Music wasn't bad, but note maybe put a jacket on becasue they've got the air con on so high that it felt like the artic in there!

Not badly priced for a london venue, just depends on what genre of people you like to be surrounded by in a club, not that this has ever made a difference, but it did this time .Won't be going back unfortunately.

celebrated my 21st birthday here, was ok for £25 we booked an area and all my group managed to get in alright. we had two complimentary platters of bar food and balloons put up on our table. the only problem was we had the area right next to the dancefloor and people kept sitting down in our seats which was annoying. the music was mostly pop late 90's early 00's the dj didnt play any of our requests because he didnt know them. so if your looking to hear any new recent dance rnb tracks dont go here. other than that it was ok no trouble in the club itself and we had a bouncer near our table for most of the night. but I definitely wont be going back here unless they update the music.

the most ridiculous club iv been to in my life, i celebrated my birthday there 31/01/09. At the door it was male to female... two guy friends cnt go in.... so if ur celebrating ur birthday dnt bother tellin ur male friends to go unless they have girls to walk in with.

At the door, door staff take your licenses... is this possible??? data protection act?? seriously they took 6 of my friends driving licenses and doorman kept it in his pocket all night. Bouncers have this power trip like their on a hype to shout at everyone.

seriously there were loads of people talking about they way bouncers were talking to everyone. they couldnt get enough of shouting. omg and ur not allowed to look happy or pissed! one of my firends were tipsy so she was jus singin and dancing along to the music and the big bouncer woMAN said that my mate needed some air....

so we took her out then she wudnt let her back in the club after?!? i dnt understand? then my boyfriend was just sitting down because he was trying to sober up and the bouncer threw him out. he wasnt evn drunk like when ur all over the place. he walked out normally cos he didnt want to cause a scene at my b'day.

so honestly if u luk lyk ur enjoying urself watchout! honest truth it was sooo packed i think they were trying to throw people out so they could let me people in and get more money, and to kill it at the end the bouncer gave my boyfriends i.d to his mate? jus imagine if sumone else jus sed oh yeah thats my mate over there can i take his license? their such idiots. seriously dont go here if u wna have a good time!

Went there recently for a birthday party and it was one of the worst nights of my life - not least because we were refused entry despite being guestlist.The doormen seem to think they actually have a real job and were extremely rude, offensive and aggressive.

We were told no boys were being allowed in - not true of course - and so the males in our group were expected to leave. Right.

So, we're told to come back in 20 minutes...we did, and were told to leave as SOME males were still with us (three, to be precise, when there were 10+ females). and so we werent allowed in.

No reason as to why, no explanation at all. Forget putting your name down on the guestlist, it means nothing, and you probably wouldnt be allowed in even if you owned the place. I wish i could write about the music, interior and crowd, but we didnt even make it that far.

Bit of a shame, it looks like such a nice place. Perhaps if they spent a bit more time and money on the service people might actually enjoy the club. Until then, unless you like being insulted, do not go to On Anon.

Went to On Anon on the weekend and it was the most appalling excuses of a night club. Doormen who are so aggressive and rude you could be forgiven for thinking you might have robbed their grandmother in another life. Not only were they agressive towards males but females also. My female friend was there for her 21st birthday and when we arrived they interrogated her about her guestlist and then told her to 'hurry up and get in or we'll throw you out'.

Music was dated and cheesy. Drink prices were reasonable for what the club promotes itself to be which is more of a high end club but the truth is far from it.I've never seen so many people on a dancefloor and a fight broke out because one guy stepped on anothers foot...not hard to do when you got a dancefloor which looked like a beehive.Will never return to this place even if it's the last place on earth. Would have a better night out in my local pub.

Over the past 4 weeks, each weekend I’ve been to SWAY, THE LOOP, ON ANON and ABACUS!- SWAY has the best venue and music to club to.- THE LOOP is a great place for drinks and the staff are very friendly.- ON ANON is a good venue but staff are rude, would have to be forced to go again.Lastly and the very least:-

ABACUS, never again. Do not be fooled by the long queue of people at the door, not worth the wait, walk straight on past. - Bouncers, the worst they could be, disrespectful, narrow minded and unreasonable.- Venue small, over rated and out of date music. - Bar staff, again the worst they could be, unwelcoming, offensive, and can’t take the attitude that they give out.

just wanted to say we had a great time at on anon.we had a private reservation in bull bar and everybody enjoyed themselves.what better way to enjoy a drink when its done by a sexy irishman.his cocktails that he made were perfect for us girls especially the cream cracker and the cerbera.be back soon.

Went to KISS DOES NYE, just turned 18 and was our first propa night out to central with ID. Music was good for wat it was, but no RNB or Hip Hop, furthest to "urban" music was rhianna mixed in with some next dance tunes. dissapointed about that. Men were abit old, and UGLY!!! no one seemed to be 25 or younger.The way the website went on about the DJs being bangin for Hip Hop and Rnb, you would have thought it was sort of like Choice FM, but if you want good up to date music, On anon is not the place to go. And there was no funky house. Should have gone to Bar Rumba. But it was a learning experience. Drinks expensive- but to be expected.Maybe coz it was NYE the music was more commercial.... dunno really, probably wont be going back. Still had fun though, was tipsy luckily!!!

Dear Onanon, Thank you for a really great night last night for my group from London Metropolitan University. This morning they all tell me they had a good time. Full marks for everything. Very welcoming, great food, great ambience, great staff. Will definitely use your venue again. Thanks once more

Absolutely superb. Great bar, brilliant service from the moment we arrived. Easy to get served and the guest list facility worked perfectly. Thanks for a great night!

I reserved an area for a party in the Lounge Bar and I'd like to say thank you very much for a great night. The atmosphere and music was great, and it was nicely busy without being too crowded or loud. The food platters served with our reservation were also delicious and a nice touch. Thank you for helping my party be an enjoyable night out!

Just to say the place is great and the bar staff really friendly, shame the main dance floor was busy but lots of fun x

It was a really good night, nice party atmosphere and warm welcome both at the door and upstairs when we were shown to the area we had reserved. Platters were nicely set out and we were asked when it would be convenient for us to have them. A lovely night, the only thing that spoilt is was when we were leaving near the end. One of the bouncers was quite agressive to my friend when asking him to leave and was too physical for no reason. We didn't make an issue of it at the time but it was uncalled for.
