Located in part of the premises which operated as the famous Raymond Revuebar from 21st April 1958 until it was closed on 10th June 2004. This was operated by sex impressario Paul Raymond and declared it was the ‘World Centre of Erotic Entertainment’.
Times have changed in the Soho district over recent years and it has gone from a slightly sleazy ‘straight’ sex district to today’s vibrant ‘gay village’. Another part of the premises became a gay bar known as Too2Much, then in November 2006 it changed its name to Soho Revue Bar where Boy George gave some performances.
In the cinema section, there are two screens, each with 50 seats, which have been operating since around 2005. Equipped with the latest projection equipment, the ground floor screen plays ‘straight’ adult films and the first floor screen upstairs plays ‘gay’ adult films. It was closed in December 2013, and will be demolished together with neighbouring buildings.

Closing down at the end of December 2013, along with the Boulevard (French Pussy Cat) strip club upstairs, as the land owner Soho Estates redevelops the whole area. All the “models” are being driven out as well by police raids, in time for the opening of the new Crossrail station no doubt.
