Monday and Thursday attract a big crowd. Between 730 and 11 there is loads of public action. The long fuck bench has 4 or 5 bottoms just waiting for tops so if you are a top you can have a great evening fucking stranger after stranger. What’s even better is the crowd of guys turned on by just watching you having your fun.

I have visited the Vault 139 through out the past and I can genuinely say that I've had a great time on the hold, some guys can be a bit funny but don't take it personally if they are not into you on that particular night, next week they might be all over you & remember they don't know you, your not responsible for their behaviour or how they react to you, moods can change with humans as we all know, (hot 🔥 & cold 🥶) but most of the time the guys are nice there 😆 but seriously, it's a good venue and the staff are great, I have only ever have a couple of teething problems where the staff are concerned but other than that there good. Toilets could do with an upgrade but queens need to be a bit more respectful as we all share the same public convenience within the Vault 139. One other thing I'd like to mention is the floor can be very slippery so watch your step but that's only in the alcoves and dark cubicles of the venue a lot of sliding going on 😆 just go there with no expectations and remember, first rule :- don't take anything personally, just have fun and enjoy the experience that's what it's all about at the end of the day, there's always someone for someone.......

First time and I had a great time at Vault 139, especially during the nked night 😈 The atmosphere is fun and the venue definitely delivers a unique experience. My only complaint is that some of the staff could be friendlier. I received a ticket for a complimentary drink and, since I didn’t want to drink right away or risk losing it, I left it in the basket provided. When I later went back to collect it, the staff member was quite dismissive and told me that next time I should bring it with me… the staff attitude could have been much more welcoming. Overall, still a fun place and I’d go back, hopefully with a little better customer service.

An interesting and quite bold place, definitely worth visiting at least once—especially if you enjoy a more open and adventurous party atmosphere. The vibe is unique, and the nights can be quite intense and full of energy. A big plus for the staff—they are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which makes the experience more comfortable. It’s also worth noting that most visitors seem to be 30+, so the crowd feels more mature rather than student-like. Unfortunately, the cleanliness could definitely be improved, and that’s the main reason for the lower rating. For a venue like this, hygiene standards should be higher. Overall: an intriguing and daring place with potential, but it needs some improvement.

A great London cruising bar. An important establishment worth cherishing and protecting. I was a regular since 2010 can you believe that, since I was just 23 and three of my closest hook up buddies I first met here. Among the staff are some truly lovely guys - John and Marvin especially are stars, I always tip if I can. If you're a tourist visiting London it's well worth a visit. Walk from Warren Street tube or just get a Lime bike up from Soho.
