London Hotel — Restaurant in Southampton

Me and my partner and a friend went to this place Saturday 24th February to have a drink, but we was turned away by a very impolite bouncer who said we were all too unsteady to come in which we were not, and told to go away for 50 mins and have something to eat we walked away and went into the casino opposite who let us enter without any problems, we had something to eat in there and then went back to the London and again was told we cannot enter the bouncer said we was not gone for 50 mins I told him we had something to eat, but he still did not allow us in we have been going to the London for many years and never caused any problems at all we will never be stepping foot in the place ever again, I find the bouncers very rude and we feel that it was just a excuse because my partner and friend are quite tall and they assumed they would cause trouble which they wouldn't of done, we then went into the med bar club down the road which also let us enter which tells me that the bouncer was discriminating us in entering the London, I will be letting everyone I know how disgusting this is and to...

We used to live very nearby nearly 20 years ago but never visited this pub because they didn't allow kids to enter the pub, not even to use the toilet if they were sitting outside with their family.

It is now child friendly which is good as my friends came with young children. The pub is nice, however the drinks are extremely expensive by Southampton standards, we were charged £13.20 for two pints. We won't be visiting again as there are many other places in the area that charge less. We bought exactly the same round later in another independent pub (ie not part of a...

Tried to obtain access to this venue recently and appreciated that there was a queue. However the security guards at the entrance were very rude to us as a gay couple wanting to gain access to the venue. It was apparent that access to the venue was prioritised by friends of the security team whilst we were there waiting. And when we politely pointed that we were in the queue and had been gazumped the lady security operative said if you re going to be dicks about this then you’re Not going to be let in. We were Bon threatening and it was a very polite exchange I felt she was offensive and for a gay friendly venue was very dismissive of us especially as we had been customers in this venue earlier this evening and in numerous time before as our local gay...
