Strip down and savour the delights to be found at Vault!
We all know that in these times of EXTREME SCORCHIO weather, the first thing that anyone does when they get back into their poorly ventilated flat, which has been slow-cooking all day and is roughly 45°C, is to strip down to their skivvies and lounge about. Which is all well and good. But there is a FAR better option. Just head down to the cool, dark basement of Vault instead, to be joined in the company of plenty of other hot guys decked only in their underwear! Sometimes, even less. Sometimes, even nothing at all.
The Vault’s a back-to-basics, old-school cruise bar. Yeah, there’s a bar and a bit of music in the background, but let’s not fool ourselves, we’re all here for one reason and one reason only. This upfront candour is pretty refreshing in an age of over-analysing ‘message read at 21:43’ notifications, don’t you think. It’s located in genteel Fitzrovia and is behind a completely inconspicuous black door. You could walk past it everyday and not have the slightest idea of the steamy going-ons that occur within. WELL NOW YOU DO.
Their Sunday underwear party is one of their busiest days, partly because anyone who’s 25 or under can get in for free! If you’re slightly older, don’t be too annoyed, they just have no money. Like, hardly any. It also brings in a properly, mixed crowd and a pretty undaunting atmosphere. Make sure you join in on the subterranean salaciousness down in Vault this summer!
