Fred Moss and Marc Merran, together with Samy Sass of Monaco's Sass Cafe fame, have created the most significant and exquisite club venue in London - MO*VIDA. MO*VIDA is built amidst the vaults of the London Palladium Theatre, and will initially be open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8pm till 3.30am for members or via invited guest-lists. Internationally acclaimed French designer, Samy Chams of Prospect Design, whose breath-taking interior design portfolio includes the VIP room in St Tropez and Baoli in Cannes, was commissioned to design MO*VIDA. With raw brick arches and original features meticulously restored, Chams has created a timeless and elegant international atmosphere, breaking away from the traditional approach of themed club venues.

Have been clubbing in London for over ten years. Go to all the hot clubs when they are in vougue. Have to say this is the most over rated club of all. Visited few days ago after having not been for over 2 years. Reminded me why i stopped going. The doormen had no manners to start with. Once inside I was reminded of the cheap and tacky decore. Hombre's sprang to mind for those of you who ever had the misfortune of visiting this establishment as I did i my student days. The service was poor even in the VIP but to be honest this gave me a good excuse to leave early. Cannot complain about the people or prices as I know what i am letting myself in for when i go to trendy London night club. Knew it was going to be a mistake before I went but unfortunately the girls I was with wanted to go there as they had never been. Should the situation arise again will simply refuse to go there again. Plenty of much better places.

A*** an incredibly good night. Obviously the type of place that there is no point bothering with if you can't or wont spend cash. Managed to drop £6500 (apparently doesn't even raise an eye-lid in that place) but it was great fun! From a womans aspect, Movida is good - don't expect to pay for more than a couple of drinks if you are female, we managed to pick up about 7 to our table in the space of 15 minutes entrance. The men pay and the women enjoy. Everyone wins Will definitely return, although after the recent opening of the much awaited Cristal it will be hard to tear myself away...

Went to Movida on last week although it was unplanned my friend and I had a good time this was not due to the club, music or atmospher, this was because I thought i might as well make the most of it as its not often I have time to go out. The music was disasterous and the crowd was full of rowdy and drunk people. A non English speaking girl spilt red wine all over my brand new white top which evidently is now ruined. I would not go back there in a hurry if at all.

Music was great,loved it. Maybe a little too crowded but isn it we all actually go there for - to have fun n meet nice ppl? Yes,many russians and Kazakh ppl ,as somebody mentioned before,but wht is this racism?doesn matter who they/we r,jst chill n accept.

the atmosphere is unreal but thats not neccasarily a good thing. crazy ambience but what is with the club being inhabited by russians that need to pay in cash (b/c it doesn't leave a trail). its fun, but obscenely crowded and i'll give a guess that only about 35% of the people in there actually buy drinks. the rest go drunk, are happy to get in, and simply dance the whole night.

Not worth the hassle, been there so many times and even though the people on the door see us there virtually every 2 weeks they still act like pricks even though they know we're on the list. Beautiful women fair enough but the vip room is the size of a dorm room! Expensive drinks as well but then again anywhere worth going to is gonna have pricey drinks. Music in main room is so sub standard when compared to the amazing music u hear in vip room

Hey guys! Together with my girlfriend I visited Movida on a Friday two weeks ago. Before we went there, on the Internet I read many comments from people who were there before and said it is a nice place. We both come from Europe and we know so many clubs over there. So now it was time to go clubbing in London again. But my girlfriend and me were both were very disappointed! Yes, the people who go to this club obviously have a lot of money, and like Rolex watches. BUT: The guests are not better looking than in a very average club anywhere in the UK. There are lots of old guys who obviously just want to have 'some fun' with young girls. There are lots of people who are willing to pay 300 - 24,000 pounds for a bottle of shampaign; there are lots of people who pay 8.50 pounds for a Bacardi-Coke, etc. And there are very heavy girls around, too... That is not comparable to Europe. After having paid 20 pounds entrance fee, we were also disappointed by the way the club is designed. Just have a look at the ceiling when you go downstairs! It looks horrible ... like a building that is still under construction! Hence, unfortunately we cannot recommend visiting Movida at all. For us it was a waste of money and a waste of time. We will definitely not go there again... Instead we would recommend going to Madrid or Berlin! The average club there is much better than Movida in London...

Movida was hot when it first started. Yes, there were beautiful guys and girls and a great vibe. But Its got worst and worst everytime I have been over the last few months. Everybody seems to be getting in despite the door being particular about the guestlist. All one needs to do is a book a table or bribe the bouncers at the door. The place is now equivalent to any other west end club, nothing special. I have seen the hassle some go through to get in, its not worth it now. Yes, you do get some celebrities there now and then, but on those nights you are not getting in unless you are well known to the establishment and invited to the such a party i.e your a middle aged guy who loves blowing his money. Overated and overhyped. The DJ is terrible, he does not know how to mix or flow.

Thursday night was the first and last time I ever go there. I have never been to a place where the reputation is so divorced from the reality of it. The club was totally devoid of atmosphere and character and the music was uninspiring. Pile on top of all this the insult of a 12.5% 'service charge' for paying by card (which, incidentally does not go to the staff despite the name) and you have a very unsatisfactory evening. I pitied the multitudes battling to get in as I left.
