The Venue The entrance to Low is no ordinary entrance: you have to enter via the Jermyn Street entrance of Russian restaurant Abracadabra and pass through the actual restaurant to find it. The restaurant itself is a riot of multi-coloured harlequin walls and matching mosaic floors, pink neon lights and colourful draped curtains – it’s a gaudy scene. Low is located below this eatery, where everything suddenly takes a more edgy, contemporary style, and black foam, all pointy and textured, soundproofs the walls. The ceiling sparkles with thousands of LED lights whilst a long bar stretches along nearly one whole side with every conceivable spirit on display in between shelves with orange strip lighting. Brown leather banquettes and low black wooden square tables position themselves around the main dance floor, with huge ice buckets filled with bottles of mixers on hand for those with table reservations. A massive central pillar with a padded 360-degree bench hides a speaker system inside it and acts as a platform for those that wish to get up and dance. The toilets have remained the same as the Hey Jo's days, apart from a fantastic addition in the girls: a blue crystal studded egg that’s actually a loo. Otherwise expect Alice in Wonderland-themed ones and heart-shaped sinks in what is the most overtly decorative aspect of the club.
