Hades.
I've seen what goes into making Hades a night to remember.
First off you need a team who are dedicated to bdsm and have an eye for the finishing touches.
This starts with the furniture. Infernal Mechanix dungeon furniture is of the highest quality and built by the imaginative Danny. His eye for the different and usual, the way the equipment is set out on a Hades night, is that of a professional at work. He's a perfectionist. Danny has a dedicated crew who help with the assembling and the dissembling. Danny and the crew work aimlessly to achieve the upmost safety in the equipment for everyone's enjoyment. There are bins, blue roll, j-cloths and anti bacterial sprays beside every piece of equipment. There are sharps boxes, gloves and medical trays around the performance stage. There are notices all around the club. Safety notices, signs for specific area's of Hades which include the d/s room, the High protocol room, chill out area, subbie blankets.
The House Dom/me's. Maria fronts her crew of House Dom/mes. She also has guest Masters/Mistresses. Maria and the dom/mes are there to make the night easy and flow with what's now the famous atmosphere of Hades. Hades has also introduced a red wrist band system. The wrist bands are for submissives who'd like to play. If a dom/me see's this they'll go and ask the submissive if they are ready/wanting to play. This is a great idea for those wall flowers a bit nervous in asking. The house dom/mes and guests masters and mistresses wear badges and are in and around the bar and play area. They are easy to spot. Mistress Maria also organises the photographers and the House Maids fronted by Maid Irene. The housemaids work tirelessly throughout the night offering sweeties around all night. They also make sure that the house dom/mes are catered for and are there for all round support.
Dude is the background man. He's the one who does the promotional flyers, the website, printing of passes. Without him, Hades wouldn't have the ability to reach across London and further. Other members of staff include the ticket office, and staff helping out with flyers and other promotional work.
There are regular performers at Hades. These have included the amazing, The Unholy Trinity, a flesh hook suspension, needles, a punishment caning and birching, Electra Stim, pony play and more. Hades tries to give it's best. They offer education in a wonderful way with the performances. Questions being answered, and the willingness to help is what makes this a good club. When i walk around Hades and people watching like I do, I see every piece of equipment being used. I see laughter, pain and pleasure. I hear the music being catered for all tastes. I see people happy and relaxed. I see submissives being played for the first time, the smile on there faces puts a smile on mine. I see, rope, knives, needles, kisses and cuddles. I see innovation. I see new things being tried and tested. I see a team working in unison. I see Hades.

And there was me thinking the equipment looks filthy and fits oddly shaped people only. My 13 year old nephew could build better stuff. The D/s area is unsupervised and everybody sub or domme can just lounge around. What's the point then of having one? People smoke in the play area despite the signs. Nobody announces upcoming stage shows that are bound to interfere with playing. The music in the dungeon room is so loud you cannot hear your domme speaking to you. Toilets are grotty to put it nicely. It's a shame that such a great venue doesn't get the treatment it deserves. |

You MUST be going to a different Club Hades PP.
I make all sorts of equipment for fetish players and I have worked on a couple of projects with Danny from Infernal Mechanix. The kit that Danny supplies for Club Hades is of a very high standard and is very much appreciated by people at Hades. If it is as bad as you say, how come it is all in use all night? How come so many very experienced Dom/Dommes ask Danny to make thier furniture and equipment?
I am partially deaf due to old injuries, I can have a conversation and have no trouble hearing what people are saying to me over the music.
I don't use the D/s room so I cannot make valid comment on that point.
I can't speak for the ladies toilets either, but there is a chap in the gents that keeps the place spotless and keeps a good range of toiletries. He works hard all night.
I suggest that if you have a problem with the club or the promoters, you contact them directly before you slate a team that works bloody hard to entertain a large number of people. At least give them the chance to answer your moans.

What a load of absolute tosh!
Perhaps you are an odd shape, and so the equipment doesn't fit you? It fits my friends just fine, and it fits me fine.
As for supervision, I have always found that Hades attracts the type who do not need policing. Furthermore, the event promoters spend much of the time walking around ensuring things run smoothly.
As for the shows, if you don't like them (I happen to love them) you can go into another room, which also has equipment.
As for the music, I held the majority of my conversations in the main dungeon room, and was half deaf due to an ear problem, and yet I still managed to hear my friends!
I can't speak for the boys, but the girls loos are my favourite of any club, they are clean and spacious with loads of mirrors.
I highly recommend Hades, it is simply fab.

I'm very sorry your experience at Hades wasn't a good one. I know for a fact that the furniture is cleaned down with anti bacterial spray before the equipment is used before opening. It was my job to do this Saturday past.
The toilets have attendants who should keep the toilets clean at all times. There is one dedicated to the Ladies and Gents.
If you go the the Hades website and email any grievances you may have i'm sure they'll do there upmost best to make sure you have a carefree night the next time.

Were you at the same event?
http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/weblogs/velvet3...
I suppose this shows that "you can please all of the people all of the time....."
I do know that a lot of people put HUGH effort into making it all work & if you talk to the organisers they will do their best to sort out anything you are not happy with.
Having been going to fetish clubs for around 20 years I KNOW this is one of the best around.
I hope you have a better time if you come again.... The Romans didnt build the most formidible Empire in history by having 'meetings' - they built it by killing anyone who got in their way!

Is this a wind up?
I can't really take this post seriuosly as everything that PP has said is so far detatched from reality that it must be a joke.
Anyone reading that hasn't been to Hades should know that PP's post is not an accurate description of the club ( all you have to do is read any of the previous posts about Hades and you'll see what I mean )and you should not let this absolute drivle put you off going to what has to be the best players club in the UK today.
