I’m from LA, and pickpockets are something I’m always conscious of. I stand in line and proceed to check my coat, wallet, cell phone, and anything else that might fall out of my pockets. No beaded/chain curtains in this pic separating the rooms. This area is more or less an open concept type of space. The curtains give the place a particular atmosphere, but it’s not for privacy. Beyond that, there’s another room with metal beaded/chain curtains. To the left, there are a few couches with men sitting, hanging out. Behold Vault 139įrom here, there’s the bar directly in front of you. When you pay, they buzz you in, and you proceed down a couple more steps before you behold Vault 139 in all its glory. This is awesome because it’s cold, and I have a giant coat on. The entrance is 9 pounds, but you get a complimentary drink voucher and a free coat check. Upon landing, there is a door to pay for your entry. The entrance is basically a descent down a thin staircase with glowing lights. There are pubs, restaurants and flats lining the boulevards. You can get to Vault 139 by taking The Tube to Great Portland Street and walking a few blocks after getting off.Īs I walked down the street, I couldn’t help but think how residential the neighborhood looks. One of the great things about the hotel I stayed in, the Pavilion Hotel, is that it’s only three stops on the London Tube from Vault 139.
