I had some friends from New York City over for a week and decided to show them the sophisticated side of the London nightlife. We live in the east of London, but decided to go to Boujis in South Kensington. When we eventually got to the club we were greeted by fairly unfriendly faces; people who clearly thought they were in higher positions than what they actually where. When I went to the bouncers to get in, I gave my name and informed them I was on the guestlist and they allowed me to go through. When my American friends tried to do the same they were rejected from the door, despite the fact they were all on the guest list. Obviously, American girls have a different style from British and Irish women, and when I asked why my friends didn't get in I was informed "they were not up to the standards of the club". On being informed this I was very taken back, and I had to watch my friends argue with the bouncers in order to get into the club. Eventually we left because the night itself was terrible - the music was bad, the staff were ignorant and unfriendly and the general atmosphere of the club was terrible and pretentious. When we left my American friend approached the bouncer to tell him how upset she was about what had happened earlier and all he could do was laugh in her face. I felt his behavior was absolutely disgusting and highly unprofessional. This was hands down the worst night out I've had in London, and I've been living here for almost a year. My friends where treated terribly, the staff where just ignorant and rude, and I highly doubt that's part of their job description. Personally, I'll never be back in Boujis, its a waste of money, time and effort.

A must whilst in London! Loved it, great crowd and really good fun. Staff partied with us and we couldn't have asked for a better night. Our hotel recommended then booked a table for us, perfect trip!

I've been here a few times and love it! Nice and small, not too good music but a great crowd. Crawling with paps though! Nice drinks, bit of a wait to get in [even guest list]. If you've never been, you must go. Amazeballs!

This is a brilliant place to go if you are a vacuous, tasteless, eurotrash/sloane asshole who has never been to a decent club in their life, likes commercial crap music and enjoys showing off to their equally pathetic friends by spending a fortune on vastly overpriced cocktails.If the above description does not describe you, steer well clear!

One word to describe Boujis is " Fantastic "!! Went to Boujis last night and on New Years Eve. The music was fabulous, service was great, and the crowd was friendly. I will absolutely come back to Boujis with ome other friends.

I was at Boujis last night and it was a great experience! The staff at the door were very friendly and helpful, since I didn't know where my friend's table was I asked the staff and they immediately found out which table they were at and escorted me there. The music was good, the crowd was friendly and relaxed, overall a very good night. The only downside was the man outside in the smoking area who constantly hushed us up just for talking in a normal tone of voice because we would "disturb the neighbors".. He could have been friendlier.

Boujis is a club of class and good quality people. The music the Dj spins is excellent and the crowd is friendly, plenty of "ra ra/ posh"" people here but that to be expected as it is in south kensington. Although it can be hard to get into, once your in you'll have a night to remember.

I've been to Boujis before and had and okay night so me and 14 other friends booked to go here for my friends 21st.

We booked the table back in December and even confirmed the booking last week by email. Got to the club last night and the lady on the door claimed they were too full for our table whilst still letting people in next to us. We asked to speak to the manager but the lady claimed he was too busy and would come when he was available. We then decided not to waste our time or money on the club as it was clear they didn't like big groups.

That has put me off for life and I would never recommend this club to anyone!

i disagree with the last few reviews.

i had never been before until last thursday.

i found all the staff v welcoming and the crowd beautiful.

the drinks were quite expensive but that is to be expected in Chelsea.

Hugh Grant was dancing in the dancefloor!

all in all one of the most enjoyable evenings i have had

i shall be returning soon.

probably the best club in London

0/5 for Boujis! Magic fm music, the door hostess (some plain looking mixed race girl who was deliberately refusing to let anyone more attractive than herself into the club) was appallingly rude. I had a legitimate right of entry to the club as I own a card that enables such on specific nights of the week. The hostess was well aware of this, but instead wished to time waste/ wield her door monkey "power" and pretended that "it wasn't the right night" for use of the card (the card I have is no different to membership at the club) despite this, she pointedly refused to look at the evidence that I had on me that disproved her statements. I was advisd that she was reprimanded thereafter by her superiors following my complaint - but the experience much evidences the fact that the people on the door will go out of their way to makes things difficult. The rest of the door outfit are non english speaking Neanderthals. Further to this, the crowd is made of idiot Sloane children partying it up in half term gyrating and quaffing magnums with mummy and daddy's centurion card (one asked me if I was in Year 10 or Year 11?!) and the rest are wealthy old men on the hunt for young girls etc. The decor is just that of a very average club. Nothing special or remarkable. All in all, this is venue for people that are deluded in believing the (very dated) hype about Boujis. The venue is desperately holding onto the fact that the Princes paid it a visit (litreally over a decade ago) which I find a pretty pathetic claim to fame. Let’s all stop massaging Boujiss inflated ego and actively boycott it. I can't imagine it being around for more than a couple more years. There are much better high end bars and clubs in the area (i. E. Coquine, Chloe’s, Valmont, Maggie’s). The crowd in these venues is typically wealthy, well heeled and genuinely out to have a great time. All in all - avoid "bouji - s*it" at all costs!

When to Boujis two months a ago. Got in easy with no queing since friends knew the owner. The music was crap and with a really boring crowd. Was so glad to leave. Went back last night because my other friend wanted to go. She got on a guestlist that was free b4 11pm and got a confirmation e-mail. Got there at 10.30pm and was told the club didnt open till 11pm. We told them we had free before 11pm and they said come back at 10.45pm. Went and had a drink came and stood in the cold for 15mins while the door staff air kissed and then was told there was no such list and to pay £15. The girls in front of us also were suppose to be on the same list and they even showed their print out.

Called a friend who knows the owner who was just standing in the doorway. The bouncers refused to call him. When he finally came out I called him and he looked at me and walked off! I said to my friend that I thought it was a stupid club, but but we decided to pay. We went and qued again and when we got to the front the girl on the door kicked us out because the bouncer had told her that I called the club stupid. Didn't realise he had heard and actually went and told her. But glad they kicked us out because its really not worth paying for rudeness and its crap. Thank you Boujis for bring me to my senses! I had been there, done that and should have known better.

I was really surprised to find that Boujis is quite skanky and grubby. I'd obviousuly heard of the club but only went for the 1st time last week. The dance floor is quite sticky, there's a strange smell in the club and the clientele were not what I expected at all. The toilets were horrible and seemed like they hadn't been cleaned for weeks. I expected a classy club but it's all a bit sweaty and dirty. I don't mind paying £15 entrance and £10 for a glass of wine at all but Boujis should not be charging that sort of money - they can't pull it off to be honest. You'd be better off at Mahiki!

Been to Boujis many, many times. The dance floor is always quite pristine clean & if there's ever a spill the staff seem to take care of it right away. Don't know about the mens toilets but the ladies is very clean & there's perfurme, cream, deodorant & other little bits & pieces to the side of the sicks that u can use (for a small tip for the lady thats making sure its all ok)... I like Mahiki too but on the times I've been there its been very quiet. The standard of the people seem to be the same at both clubs with many of the usual posh chelsea people but it doesn't at all seem pretentious & I like the DJ too (plays the usual Chart hits)! As for drink prices it's the standard (if not a little cheaper) from other members clubs I've been e.g. Movida

I arrived at this club with a member, and encountered the rudest people I have ever met. The door staff were unspeakably rude to my friend, who is a member, and worse toward me. This was absolutely ridiculous as were were both extremely polite, more than adequately dressed, and sober.

I would strongly advise against visiting a club where the staff are incapable of extending the common decency that everyone deserves to its members. However, if you enjoy club staff who are aloof, and will act as if they are doing you, the paying customer, a favour just by taking the time to actually make eye contact when you are talking to them - be my guest!

This place was a shit hole, I first enter into some crammed corner no where near the dancefloor with these slutty girls serving drinks. By 1.00 the club was full of fat business men who work in boring offices and think boujis is a celebrity club and extremely cool and hip for their age.The music was shit typical DJ music. Nothing special. The doormen were dick heads, i dressed up smart and then some cocky shit head of a bouncer comes up to me and sais "no ties aloud its a club policy" after that i left the club around 1.30. Luckily i didnt have to spend £10 on some shitty shots. But one advantage was i met Calum Best and he kissed me on the cheek! but i was surprised to see him there. I genuinley had more fun walking around London then staying in that place. x

Boujis is an absolute dump!! Don't waste your time going here, there are much better clubs in London, that are high class and actually look the part. The decor is atrocious, in fact there is no decor. It is a dark, dingy, hole. Watered down expensive drinks, for people who are trying to be pretentious. I left after a long 45 mins of being there, and went home. A big disappointment. I don't get what all the hype is about this place.

Ha! What a waste of time. Poor music and probably watered down drinks at 'we can charge it because you idiots will pay it' prices.

Much better clubs in Mayfair and Westend of a similar ilk, charging similar prices but with much better style, atmosphere and music.

I went to Boujis on a Thursday, and I have to say, I had a great night out, but I wasn't into the music. I went there with my friend and we were both on the guestlist.

We had to wait for about 10 minutes, and the lady just asked us on what guestlist we are. Would have given five stars, but there was the bad music.

Just had a worst wednesday night out ever! Boujis, covered in fake snowballs and white foam christmas tree looked as cheap as primary school during christmas party. Music was a bad retro + r'n'b mix. Staff were cool though, but really could not save the night, despite the effort to mix good drinks and cheer up the clubbers. People there is a whole other story - guys are either pretentious rich kids or over-forties trying to look like pretentious rich kids. Girls all model-wannabees with no style.. Overall this club reacks of cheapness!

Amazing place, the door is always friendly, they remember your name, and if you are a good client you are always welcome back. And they will make sure that regulars don't have to queue. Tuesdays and saturdays are the two best days. Dj's are always good, and they are open to wishes. Last time I was there, Marky Ramone (from the Ramones) was guest DJ, and Lindsay Lohan was there (nov. 2008).The guests are nice young people... Pricesare very reasonable, compared to clubs catering similar clientel, much cheaper than Bungalow 8...

I wish I could give this place no stars. Full of 18 year olds spending their daddies money. The staff were obnoxious and rude. The drinks were watered down and unbelievably expensive. And this is comparing it to places like Nobu, Mayfair Hotel, Whisky Mist. The DJ was so bad it was cringeworthy. How places like this actually manage to garner enough column inches so that people think they might be worth going to is beyond me. Avoid at all costs.

I agree totally with this review. Even though we were on the guest list and queued in the Guest list que we were ignored, probably something to do with the tone of skin, I must have been mistaken for the toilet attendant. Once in I found the people aloof and unfriendly including the staff. As, for the drinks I tried various, they were tasty but definitely lacked alcohol! The DJ Was terrible and so was the sounding system which had a tin sound effect.

I went to Boujis a few weeks ago on a thursday with a friend. We didn't have to queue, we were ushered straight in and went downstairs to our table. The venue is small yet exclusive, and certainly is an elitist playground for the rich and famous. Great staff, great service, i would recommend the large table by the dance-floor and the dj booth, its spacious and has the best atmosphere! Definitely worth visiting, if your able to get in!

I went to Boujis with my friends last night and had a really good time.



The doorman was great - we didn't need to queue to get in and everytime I came out to smoke they'd let me back in without any trouble.



I like Boujis because the music is really good and the people inside are very friendly and polite.

I really had a bad experience at Boujis on a Saturday night. We booked two tables and I put about 30 people for guest list. When I arrived there, the doormen were very rude! Even though we didn't have to queue since we booked table, I only ended up with one table with a maximum of 15 people!



I really had a hard time in choosing which friends could go or not and I always needed to stand by the entrance to talk to them on the phone. Once 15 people managed to get in, the lady at the door told me to get away from the entrance and said she wanted me to stay on the dance floor.



I had a huge argument with staff and they were very arrogant and rude. The music and decor are really good, but I'll never go back to Boujis again.

Me and my mate decided to queue up on Tuesday night. There was a relatively short queue and people were being let in quite quickly. There were 3 guys infront of us, and there were some ladies queuing on the other side. A Boujis lady with a clipboard came out and asked the 3 guys in front of us whether they had any ladies with them. They said no, she then turned to my mate and I and asked the same. We replied no it's just us 2. She then asked me whether I had booked. I said no. She said well even if you had booked you probably won't get in. Why did she tell us to go away and not any of the others that were waiting there? Make up your own minds.

Boujis is very plush, it must be said. I'm not sure if it's my cup of tea so I'm not sure I'm the best person to be taking advice from but if you like really plush venues with expensive drinks and attractive people then you will probably really like Boujis. If you like it a bit grimier then I'd advise somewhere else!
