180 House — Restaurant in London

For some reasons Googkevis not letting me review the exhibition The Vinyl factory at 180 studios, I tried to review it with the correct location, but it just keeps my old review of Rankin, so I will try to do this using the wrong name, but please bear in mind this is just done on this occasion. I loved this exhibition, and I recommend anyone going to reserve the whole day as it is big, it is interactive and immersive, it is educational and very accurate as well, showing the powers of music and the social changes that happened in Uk, and in USA too. There are 17 different installations, some very badly sign posted, but all of them are extremely interesting and, in some cases, educational, making you realise how social changes and music were happening at the same time, how society reacts to people gathering together, how the State, and the police, try to limit the collective ritual of going to a rave, how the Uk club scene evolved, how house music happened, the techno and the trance movement, show how the Chicago gay scene contributed to the diffusion of safe spaces were people could meet workout fest during the Aids pandemic, how the Detroit music scene influenced the start of techno, and finally shows the UK contribution with the raves, the summer of love, the police blocking people from gathering together, the clubs like Shoom, Hacienda, Turnmills, and many others that shaped the music scene of the late 80s and still lasts up until now. Each and every video deserves your attention, I strongly recommend switching off the phone and watch everything, every video, and every installation carefully, if possible in its entirety. Some of those videos are long, but they are worthy of your time. You will be enriched, more informed than you were before entering, and you will be hugely entertained. I stayed “only” 3-4 hours but I will probably go back to watch some of the videos again, as I am fully aware that this exhibition cannot be seen in 1 day only . Go at least twice to...

‼️🫤 Terrible Experience - Rude Staff Ruined a Promising Visit

A very beautiful location, but if you want to encounter disrespectful behavior - avoid this place!

..... I attended a morning Vogue event on the 25nd of July and, upon its conclusion, noticed a beautiful and unusual location with a pool nearby. Intrigued, I stepped out onto the terrace to explore since I had never been there before.

While wandering around, a very pleasant staff member, apparently in charge of the pool area, kindly chatted with me. He explained that the pool is fully functional and open to guests. I made a few stories and photos for my social media, where I have 25k followers, and often share lovely spots around London. I intended to promote this place and had planned to stay for lunch as I really liked the location.

However, my experience took a turn for the worse when one of your waiters, a somewhat bald man, approached me and asked me to stop taking photos of the open, public space. He told me to leave, claiming I was disturbing someone, which is laughable considering the terrace was completely empty.

In 2024, when every brand is competing for clients and UGC content, you manage to ruin your own reputation. To say I was outraged is an understatement. I attend many renowned events and venues, and this was the first time I encountered such an issue in London, which left me utterly disappointed. This is one of those instances where I feel compelled to leave a review to warn others about the treatment they might face at your establishment.

I'll attach photos as proof that the terrace was entirely empty with no one in the frame. It's unacceptable to treat people this way and selectively choose how to interact with...

I joined because I liked the brand and their ethos. Sadly I think the issues they’ve had at shoreditch house where they’ve been consistently understaffed at busy periods have come here, too. I was a member for a year at 180 but didn’t renew because the restaurant staff, whilst pleasant enough, were not experienced enough to justify the fee or qualified at the level the brand pertains to sit at. And it really did let my experience down more than once. Once my party waited 45 minutes to get a round of drinks brought to us, and when I went to ask someone what had happened I couldn’t find a single member of staff on the entire floor. I have other experiences in the restaurant that amount to poor serving manner, which are more insignificant but when they happen often, and your experience of a place is already marred you tend to notice them more. They cannot seem to hire the volumes they need or at the appropriate standard in order to live up to the brand expectation. Makes me concerned that their expansion may be a little ambitious. It’s a shame as they create wonderful spaces with great ambience. But if I can’t order a g&t on a Friday evening without it arriving on Saturday morning, or if I must have a waitress that can’t pour wine without flicking it into our faces on the upturn of the bottle - then I don’t think it counts for anything. The third star is purely for the bar staff and front desk, who are...
