   Before you go

   • Privacy

     The club's own website notes that clothed-male, naked-female parties are « very private » with no single men allowed, so women can relax without unwanted attention.

   • First visit

     The club's own website says staff will show you how to use any equipment, and reviewers emphasise that new faces are always welcome and the atmosphere is laid-back and friendly.

   • Dress code

     For clothed-male, naked-female parties, men wear a suit and tie while women wear heels and stockings (and nothing else); the club's own website specifies this.

   • At the door

     The club's own website says couples, women and TV guests are all welcome, and they do admit respectful single men.

   • Facilities

     The club's own website describes a big old former vicarage with a dungeon, social areas, various other rooms, and usually a Motorbunny; equipment includes a fucking machine, TENS unit and whipping benches.

2. About The Chardmore Society

   The Chardmore Society is an intimate, well-established fetish and BDSM party group run by Tim Woodward, publisher of Skin Two magazine, with decades of experience in the scene. Their main events happen at a former vicarage in South London, featuring a dungeon, social areas and play equipment including a Motorbunny, whipping benches and other devices. Nights are deliberately small—as few as 20 guests up to around 50—creating a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where many regulars know each other, though newcomers are genuinely welcomed.

   A typical evening blends socialising with optional play: you can chat, observe, or engage in whatever interests you within the BDSM spectrum, with staff on hand to show you how equipment works. The club's own website emphasises safety, sanity and consent; you're always free to say no, and respectful conversation is the norm. Speciality parties include clothed-male, naked-female events (women-only, very private) and one-off themed gatherings in other London venues, from comedy nights at West End hotels to outdoor summer events.

   Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming vibe and the quality of the space and facilities. This is for couples, women and respectful single men who want genuine BDSM play in a comfortable, unpretentious setting with people who know what they're doing. The verdict is enthusiastically positive from those who've found it.

   Who goes

   Couples, women, respectful single men and cross-dressers; a mix of regulars who know each other and new members, mostly London-based.

   What guests love

   • The relaxed, friendly atmosphere and the fact that many guests know each other, making newcomers feel genuinely welcome.
   • The quality of the venue itself—a spacious former vicarage with dedicated play spaces, a dungeon and well-maintained equipment.
   • The respectful approach to consent and negotiation; you're always free to decline and encouraged to chat and ask politely before engaging.
   • The variety of events on offer, from regular play parties to speciality themed nights and one-off gatherings in different London venues.
   • The expertise and approachability of the organisers, who explain how to use equipment and create a safe, sane environment.
   • The intimate, small-scale gatherings (typically 20–50 people) that foster genuine community rather than an anonymous club feel.

   What guests complain about

   • One reviewer had to leave before the evening fully warmed up, suggesting that timing or duration of events may not always suit everyone's schedule.

     BDSM AT 6PM: It took me a few years to discover what Tim’s gatherings are all about. I remember getting the automated emails from Chardmore Society when I first became a member of SDC. All I can say is, it’s a pity it took me so long!! The venue is a nice house and the people there are so laid back and friendly! You always must respect the ‘no’ that you might get, but you are always welcome to politely ask and just c…
