Peter Stringfellow, The King of Clubs, has passed over to that great nightclub in the sky.

Certainly a larger-than-life fellow.
Did Playboy ever visit any of his clubs, I wonder?
RIP Peter Stringfellow

Visited his Covent Garden one several times, usually with overseas clients when I was based in London. Not really anything special, but the Middle Eastern guys and the Japanese lapped it up.
"We, the sons of John Company, have arrived"
Used to go there once in a while with the guys from the office; cheeky secret(?) was to go upstairs & grab a table & have a coffee & maybe a bottle of champagne instead of standing room only downstairs & 10 quid a beer or whatever stupid price it was back then (15y+). Invariably had the girls from the floor come upstairs moaning about the drunken jerks downstairs & wanting to get away from Mr. Gropey & they'd happily sit with you whilst watching their friends do the poles. Got tired pretty quick, but good times.
Decent view each night; best story was of a tight-as-a-duck's ass Scots colleague who didn't realise he had to pay for a 'dance' - refused to pay and was unceremoniously thrown out by the bouncers and a pretty irate stunner in hot pursuit, whilst he hollered "I've nay finished ma beer yet, I paid ten poonds for that!". (apologies to Scotsman, probably didn't do the accent justice )

Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

Bit of a regular at The Hippodrome in the late '80s, good times I vaguely recall
