There is an extremely violent doorman, I was beaten while I was walking into the place, I could not do anything, the management did not care.

I went there couple of times, I liked the place, it is a small private club in London with two nice bars. One day I was invited by a friend and mistenkenly passed the reception without checking in, the doorman/bouncer pushed me on the wall and strangled me. I started shouting, saying he was crazy and he beat me. The whole situation became dramatic, I did not want to leave before talking to a manager. They say they would review the video but told me I could not get in. The only thing I did wrong was to pass the reception, I was not told to check in. They did not contact me after. I call them and they told me I was responsible! I contacted a lawyer, I had some marks on my neck and traces of the punches. The lawyer told me the club can do anything they want as it is a private club it is like entering someone s place, therefore if there had been a lawsuit I had small chance to win. I gave up...
