Look at image 1 it looks the part but it is taken from Little Marlbourgh Street looking to Carnaby Street the guys say looks the most likely but no one can recall Little Marlbourgh Street with strip clubs.
I agree with this. I can't recall Little Marlborough Street ever having any strip clubs.

Now the comment that was made is the building may not be as it was, in the 1980s a lot of buildings were re-roofed and also some were demolished and rebuilt and this looks to be the case
The middle picture you posted is great. If you compare it to the picture of the club I can see a distinct similarity. The building has changed over the years, but one thing that hasn't changed is that as you walk towards the building you need to move to the left to continue on. The building today doesn't appear to be blocking the way as much as it was, but you still need to go to the left when you reach that point.
Based on your picture, I'm very confident that St. Anne's Court is the correct location. The building may look different today, but it still causes a kink in the path you would take to get from one end to the other, so both then and now (as the pictures show) you can't get a clear and unobstructed view all the way down the court. I can only say this is great work you've done Kev.
Hello Elgar,
St Annes's Court it is and proof is below, there was no need for me to visit the area, but what fun it was wondering around the area
Proof is on the link below

If you scroll down link to Sex industry they have another picture of the Naked City annotated St Anne's Court so there we have it
Really enjoyed the running about, took in old memories, so anything else I am happy to help
Well done guys, there's a lot of great work being done in this thread. You'll need to do a revised list of strip clubs, elgar, now that you and Kev have figured out some of the missing locations. anyway, whilst I'm here, I've got another picture from the Casino de Paris.

OK this is a tough one. I've managed to find a picture of a Soho strip club called the Taboo Revue.

I said it was a tough one, but any idea of its location?
There's also a YouTube video in which it can be seen:

The premises next door appears to have a model horse in the window!

Hello
Quicker than I had thought
It was in Frirth Street, my friend confirmed this to me and he was a regular
See attached image with location

One more to be identified.
The attached images of a building on the corner of Meard Street, back in the late 1960s early 1970s there was a club entrance being on Meard Street.
Does anyone know which one it was, my friend is unsure if it was a strip club or a hostess bar or a hybrid combination, but he had some good nights until it was taken over and became a rip-off bar

That picture says 1969 and the Youtube video that Kev referenced before said the 70s, so we have some kind of timeline at least.
Hello Marlowe
Please see image below, after over 40 years the image of Casino De Paris has gone
I would like to think behind the painted brick work there are 3 sheets of corrugated steel one with my earlier image and two with the old image split in two
I shall be keeping a watchful eye on the place to see if it resurfaces

That was the Gargoyle Club, later renamed the Nell Gwynne. It was the first ever strip club in the heart of Soho, opened in October 1957. The address was 69 Dean Street, but as you said the entrance was round the corner in Meard Street. It closed its doors in December 1982.
