Door staff = morons (on a power trip)i do not recommend going to to Sway for this reason only, it ill ruin your night when they refuse entry to particular groups of your friends because they feel like it. Disgraceful behaviour!

Celebrated my 20th bday in this venue which were on friday and overall did have great night. I must say the club isnt bad at all but unfortunately slight disappointed with the music...mixed with everything. drinks quite expensive so have one before going at this place. Dress code casual smart with white clean trainers if decided to wear one. This is actually over 21's club which specifically describe on the website but advice anyone if younger than this age then get there early as possible with appropriate i.d strictly passport or driving licence, otherwise bouncer will definitely refuse entry. Usually on saturday this club get overcrowrd with students and prefer to mixed groups.

I booked at booth for Sat night for my birthday, I was told I would have the booth at 10pm in the rnb room and my card details were taken. Then I received an email with the booking terms and conditions. Surely these should be these should be explained to the customer before they give money and not after. These stated that my booth could be moved if needed. Had I been told this before I gave my card details I would not have done so. I asked for a refund and was told that booth bookings are non refundable. All I was told was that I could go to the rnb room until 10 and then move to my booth, not very helpful! I am appauled that Sway seems to just make money on misleading their customers. The very least Sway staff could have done was to read me the terms and conditions before I handed over money. Especially when I queried the location of the booth on the phone and clearly stated I only wanted it in the rnb part of the bar. No refund was offered as a goodwill gesture at all. I can assure you that I will never visit again.

Svc awful. I ordered 2 booths, got 1. Girl coordinating my event didn't turn up on the evening. Staff had no clue about drinks prices / how to use till or even open bottle of wine!! Jugs of water were warm. When we asked for them to be replaced we were told to go and reorder. Food arrived early so was cold b4 guests arrived. Staff were totally incompetent for the most part.

The only helpful person was what looked like one of the security guys who kindly replaced our table with a slightly less wobbly one

Music was best part, good oldfashioned 80s 90s stuff

I was very disappointed with the door staff. They were extremely rude and unwelcoming. My birthday was ruined because we were not let into the club, even though our names were on the guestlist. I think something should be done about the door staff because you will lose many customers like this. I will not be coming back to Sway and I will not be recommending it to others.

Went to sway on 19th July for my friends 21's birthday!!!! when entering club no1 gets searched! I found this very strange also made me feel quite uncomfortable.The club in genenal is extremely small. I found the drinks are very expensive!!! 2redbulls and 1 single malibu and coke £14.70. Music is ok. started of in the soul/rnb room. (its about the size of my bedroom) felt very cramped!! no where to sit down as the seats they do have you have to reserve. All the music was repeated!!! Lots of hen parties / people dressed up. Felt like a cheesy school disco. Its not stictly over 21's. Pictures on internet look really nice. club is tacky floors are sticky and it smells damp. Must mention no attitude in club and everyone did seem really friendly even boucers and bar staff. very helpful. But overall a terrible night!!! very disappointed. :-(

When I went it was sexy house, which is their music policy that night. However, a few RnB tunes creep in - it's all v commercial. If you want full on RnB you might be better off going to Red Rooms across the road from Sway. ViewLondon does a great guestlist for Sway and Red Rooms - both are OK clubs in my opinion. - Report

My friends and I recently visited Sway for my 18th birthday. I was quite disappointed with the venue. The club is tiny, felt like I was at a school disco. I had reserved a booth; it was certaintly not cosy or private like I had expected, its literally a few stools in a corner of the dancefloor. Music was fantastic though, and we danced the night away. Drinks are reasonably priced, not excessive but far from cheap. Thankfully I arrived about 930 so got in for free, but my friends arrived around 950 and had to pay £10, despite the website claiming entry before 10 is free. Thanks to mulitple shots, I had a really fun night, but certainly will not be returning to Sway, there are FAR FAR better places in London.
