It's a horrible misogynistic club for elite rich. Promoters reach out to Instagram girls, inviting them to the club on guest list but guest list is only to fill with women to satisfy their clients. If girls don't "meet" their standards then they will be told to leave the queue as there is no more space. We got in after them...? Weird!
Elite guests pay cash in hand to security and get through the doors quicker then the guest list. Guys that don't "know" either the organisers/promoters or security will have a tough time getting in. 3 "almost" naked dancers joined the top of the dancing floor in a "strip club style" to "dance".
There are only VIP tables and "normal" guests will have no space to sit or put their drinks down. Dance floor is also way too small to dance comfortably.
Lots of employees going around to keep things tidy or bring specially ordered sparkling drinks but unfortunately because of the lack of space, you have to constantly make space for them or get pushed around so they can pass. Which consequently ruins your dancing experience or even standing for a bit.
My suggestions is not to go unless you have a VIP table and aren't offended by the sexist misuse of women/girls.

Me being very stubborn, didn't want to listen to the reviews. In the end - I should have. Even being on the guest list, you will have to pay £20,- no matter what.
I've been to several 'high-end' clubs (and most of them get bad reviews but usually it is still nice) but this one is super trash. Music is bad, crowd is fake boujee and legit trash. The club tries to be pretentious and being high-end but it is far from that.
If you want to have a good time, top-notch music, nice drinks, cool crowd and have a worthy night. DON'T GO HERE. IT IS A TRAP. I didn't listen and regretted. If you want to waste your night and don't listen to me - off you go. But I've warned you.
I just want to save your night, London got its pearls but this is not one of them.

Started the night off unsure, got in through a promoter that had contacted a friend, bit misleading on the free entry for girls- but when we got in were given free drinks and a table. drinks from the bar are very expensive, but after we had got through the first half an hour of the club filling up, really enjoyed! some really cool people staff are generally really attentive and fair. I was on my own with two very drunk friends and trying to get them home by myself, and one of the security called Danny was so helpful, honestly the bloke deserves a medal! Overall good experience and would recommend. Would make it clear though that this club promotes itself as a high end experience, However I would equate to being an expensive trashy atmosphere. Agreeing with most of the other reviews here that the people who attend this nightclub try to present themselves as wealth and class but are evidently not.

Drama is one of the worst club in London, and here is why :
1 - They are sexist. If you go with a group of friends, they will ask the girl to enter separately and pay 20£.
2 - Even if you’re the first customer, they will tell you that half of the bottles on the menu (the less expensive obviously) are not available. So you will pay much more than expected.
3 - Lastly, once you finished to drink and not buying anything else, they will find a way to kick you out of the club. For us, they refused a friend to enter the club after a smoke. I’ve been to many club in London, this is from far the worst. Every other club will be better.

I can not thank the staff enough. The security and management and even promoters. There were three people in particular that were extremely helpful and caring. It was the end of the night when my friend had left me alone to go home. At that point my battery had died and I have no way of getting home.
The security man noticed that I was outside the club and on my own even though there were lots of people around me. He had a lady security guard approach me and ask what I was doing and how I was getting home. I explained my situation and she looked after me and told the manager of the club.
The manager of the club then booked me an Uber home from his phone. I thanked all the team. Honestly, the attention to detail and concern the club have for those who enter and leave the club is amazing. They like to make sure people who have been in the club get home safe and are safe.
The club in general is the best club in London. Quirky, sophisticated, lit all in one. The music is good and the general set out of the club is good because it’s very social unlike some clubs where all areas are quite separated from the dance floor. The promoters are amazing, good energy and to top it off I got 5* treatment and had the team go the extra mile to make sure I got home safe.
Thank you and I will definitely come more prepared next time to make sure I don’t have the same situation again. Book your tables here!!!!!
Clearly they don’t just think about making money they think about the safety of everyone as we all know the world we live in now.

I definitely would not recommend this club to anyone, unless your a footballer or insta famous you won't be treated with any form of respect or decency. They had us lining up for over an hour outside in the pouring rain whilst only allowing the VIP line in.
The staff and security really have a way of making you feel less than and unimportant. I had a female security guard approach me when i was sitting on one of the sofas at my table and shout in my face demanding that i leave for no apparent reason, i tried asking her why and instead of giving me any reason she started grabbing me and trying to push me to leave. I said that me leaving was not a problem but that i just wanted to know why and she still continued to ignore me and just kept repeating that i had to leave and would not stop pushing me around. This was completely degrading, unnecessary and humiliating i don't know if i was singled out due to my race but it definitely felt that way.
I will never a day in my life be going back to this club and strongly suggest that if you really want to enjoy a night out that you do the same.

DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS! Friendliest staff, best venue, best music. Had the funnest nights in London here! Never a bad night. Lots of celebrity appearances and performances. If celebrities are showing up there, it’s evidence enough.

I have been to Drama several times over the past couple of years and I can always guarantee I’ll have a great time. The atmosphere is great and high end, the music never disappoints and it is surely one of my favourite clubs in London. Highly recommend!
