...or Bayswater or any other area nearby and it's approaching 12 and all the places are closing down and you don't really fancy the Arts Club or other dingy late licenses, then Westbourne Studios comes to the rescue. In fact the place is way better than most of the bars, clubs etc in the area anyway, so it deserves a dedicated trip.
The open space is surrounded by studios for artists and small businesses and apart from the bar there is another space, where performances usually take place. The atmosphere is relaxed and lively at the same time. Music depends on the night. Typical crowd to the area, but I think this is the most East London place out West. Yes, paradoxes occasionally make sense. â¬ÜThatâ¬"s paradox itselfâ¬" youâ¬"ll say, but Iâ¬"m digressing...
Be sure to arrive before 12 as they only let members in after that (there is blagging potential, but I wouldnâ¬"t recommend it). If you live nearby or go out in the area often, then membership is well worth considering as it was £65/year last time I checked. Overall, I canâ¬"t remember a single time that I didnâ¬"t thoroughly enjoy this place. Let me know how you found it.

Imagine a HUGE space - tall ceilings doesnt even begin to cover it - comfy sofas, cool music and a good looking crowd... you are now starting to get an image of WS. Because of the size of the space, the music can be as loud or as quiet as you want it to be - just pick the right sofa. It is open late, drinks are good - the only downside may be that it is a bit out of the way (Westbourne Park tube station). But for a city that has almost trademarked overcrowded bars/clubs and is oversupplied with samey-looking traditional pubs - this place is a breath of fresh air.]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:18:42 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1o12b8j/westbourne-studios/1b9437430828421 JehonaGjurgjeala 51.521011 -0.204466 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1o12b8j/westbourne-studios/1k1199

Awesome place, slightly wanky door policy but as long as you get there before 10 or so you can normally blag yourself in.
Nice chilled crowd...mixed age groups and music policy...more importantly good place to do what you have to do...
They close at 2am so beg, cheat steal a membership (it only costs £60)]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2007 18:26:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1o12b8j/westbourne-studios/1k11991763447302 Guerilla1 51.521011 -0.204466
