I completely disagree with the below, Walkabout is certainly not boring. I love it there, the people are fun, and the dancing crazy - everyone always is up for a good time! It is also never empty in the evenings, it definitly starts to pick up around 10pm, and thats when the fun begins! Sure, i have had my fair share of inappropriate stalkers in there, but at least they're not the horribly, sleazy lot that you find in the more *happening* clubs in London. I also like the bouncers, they have never given me a single bit of trouble, and always a nice big smile. Long Live the Temple Walkie!!!!

It had to happen, I had to venture back into the dark antipodean depths of one of many countless Walkabouts strewn across this country.



I myself am a proud antipodean who has lived in this country for 5 years now. Like anywhere you live it has its good points and bad points when comparing to home but this export of debauchery and mayhem from down under is truly diabolical.



Standing in Walkabout Inn amongst my fellow antipodeans trying to watch the ab's crush South Africa (again) I began to feel claustrophobic. The place is full of digusting sights and smells and when you add to this the massive bouncers, and you are on to a truly crap experience.



The only saving grace for Walkabout is that it has good coverage of sporting events and reasonably patient bar staff (considering the crap they get). Please only go to these establishments if it’s the last conceivable option.

I have worked at quite a few of the Walkabout Inns in London. If you are looking to have a few drinks, catch up with some mates and listen to some awesome Aussie music, then head to Walkabout Inn.

Walkabout Inn in general are all good. However, recently I have been trying to watch a number of rugby matches, and I have not been able to watch the games advertised by the Gum Tree. When I turn up, they are not playing or it has been a misprint, and this has happened more times than not. Come on guys what’s going on? They’re supposed to be a sporting bar. Still I stay loyal but alas there is no rugby at Walkabout Inn.

I love going to the Walkabout Inn as it is the only place in town that plays decent music. I mix with fellow antipodeans and they are on the whole polite. Food is good and the service is great at the Walkabout Inn. I do however agree with previous comments about the bouncers, the management did change them and they were terrible. They made more trouble and stopped you having a good time. I stopped going for about a year and recently went back to see that the bouncers have changed again and they seemed more reasonable.

To the last comment, if you had only allowed the door staff to look in your bag without you trying to hide the contents you would have been allowed entry to Walkabout. Bags are searched to guarantee the safety of patrons. Like other readers have said, if you are polite to the staff at Walkabout, they are polite back to you.

The Walkabout Inn employ a group of Russian speakers as bouncers and all the comments about them spoiling your night are true. They even behave that way with full support from the management! If you're not looking to be treated like a bag of rubbish, then Walkabout Inn is definitely a venue to avoid. If you have very low standards however, this is the place for you.
