News

To all our guests, friends, Dommes and more,

We hope you have a kinky Christmas and a naughty New Year, and make the most of all the time off over the holidays (we certainly intend to…)

If you’d like to make a booking for 2017, don’t hesitate to get in touch. It’s just £80 for 2 hours, and you’ll get the whole place to yourself, including our range of toys and equipment. We’ve just reupholstered our inversion table, so it’s even nicer to be left locked up on for long, long stretches of time, our harrowing metal sensory deprivation helmet (which is more popular than ever…), and not to forget, our new latex whips and floggers.

Keep in touch

Don’t forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, where we can tease you with sneak previews of our clips, and give you a taste of what you’re missing, as well as keep you updated with essential news and information about The Serpent Rooms, House of Serpent and The Submission Rooms.

We do have a lot of fun down at The Serpent Rooms, it can’t be denied.

This weekend, we saw some plenty of delicious, agonising tickle torture sessions, where our willing slaves were dragged to within an inch of madness before being brought back over and over again – just look at this double session between Mistress Pip and Mistress Kali!

Unsurprisingly, our beautiful dommes took effortless control of the helpless subs, sometimes all at once, with the help of our outstanding collection of erotic toys, restraints, harnesses and floggers.

And even though The Serpent Rooms likes to make sure all its guests are very well taken care of, we also like to give a taste of to those who can’t be there in person, so they know just what they’re missing, over on our House of Serpent clip store…

As it’s nearly Christmas, and we’re in such a good mood after our weekend of depravity, we thought we’d treat you all to a preview of our latest clip-for-download from House of Serpent, Topless Thong Beatdown.

Topless Thong Beatdown

In this clip, Mistress Pussy Willow is rather displeased with Andy. It seems that Andy owes her some money and she has arranged to meet with him to recover the debt.

She is initially surprised that he bothered to show up, although if he hadn’t she makes it clear that she would have simply gone round to his house with a few of her “friends”. But he’s here and unfortunately, he still hasn’t brought any money with him.

So she vents her anger by giving him a good kicking instead. At least she believes that will make her feel better. Pussy Willow is topless and wears a black thong while she delivers a barrage of hard punches and kicks on her now ex-friend.

At the end, and as a final humiliation, she gets him into a sleeper hold and puts him to sleep, before leaving him on the mats and exiting the room.

Those who love Shibari understand the allure of entwining their subjects in a series of intricate knots and ties.

This post about Kidnap Mistresses was written for The Serpent Rooms by the inimitable Mistress Kali

Ever dreamt of being plucked out of your comfort zone entirely?

You are standing in a strange place where you’ve been told to wait, with just a couple of simple instructions to follow. It is dark, maybe there are people around, or maybe there is nobody to be seen. You have on you just your simplest belongings, because you have no idea who’s going to capture you.

Suddenly, you are taken from behind, hooded, gagged and tied up.

You are in the back of a stranger’s vehicle, the only familiarity you have is the winding of the roads, the speed bumps, the traffic sounds. How long have you been here? Who are they? Where are you? Why are you here?

A powerful voice is talking to you, she is strict and unfamiliar but you feel compelled to follow her orders. Maybe they will play with you, with your body and mind. Are there other voices? Who might they be? What is reality anymore? You lose track of time, space, you are beholden to the present moment.

Then, you find yourself in stillness, and you are senseless and powerless.

Here you are stripped of everything that is yours, you are at your most vulnerable and ‘they’ are in complete control for the coming hours. You see your captors, maybe towering above you, maybe for small glimpses of face, flesh, smell. They are striking and stunning and strong. They are the Kidnap Mistresses and you have no choice but to do what they demand.

Being kidnapped is the ultimate surrender into the world of submission and the unknown. Many people fantasise about this, but are unsure how to make it a reality. Come and play.

• Get in touch with the Kidnap Mistresses

Frequently asked questions about the Kidnap Mistresses

• Will I be safe?
  We know what we are doing. You will be safe.
  
• What if we get caught?
  Leave this for us to deal with. What we are doing is an agreement, it is not illegal. If we ask you to speak up, then speak up and be honest about the arrangement.

• But if I know what is going to happen, will it be as exciting as it sounds?
  Yes. Trust us. Every kidnap is different. There is only so much that can be controlled and the reality of the situation, the uncertainties, the risks are always revealing themselves. Even for us. This is why people come back and do them again and again, sometimes tens of times. Every time is different, every time is exhilarating, and your imagination cannot beat the real experience.

• How long is it for?
  The entire time from the snatch to discharging you can be 6 or 12 hours. Different lengths of time can be negotiated, and it can be shorter, but we ask for a minimum tribute for 6 hours standard due to the preparation and planning that goes into each one.

• Where will we end up? How do I get home?
  In one of a few dungeons in North London. That is all you need to know. We can book a taxi for you at the end to get home, or if you live outside London you can get a hotel or sleep at the dungeon until the first trains.
  
• Will I get hurt?
  We will agree on your likes and dislikes, and a safe word via email before the kidnap. This goes for in and outside the dungeon part. If you request no pain, we will respect this throughout the kidnap.
  
• What if I have health problems or I am disabled?
  You must make us aware of anything before the kidnap. ESPECIALLY heart problems, breathing problems or physical pain/injury. We have kidnapped people of all ages and physical abilities and we will take this into account and plan accordingly. If you are in a wheelchair this is not a problem. We have found some of the most enriching kidnaps and sessions to be with non-able bodied people, it is truly an exciting experience that can be hugely liberating.
• Can I organise one for a friend or my partner? Can I be there?
  Yes, this is also a lot of fun. We welcome couples, and if this is a surprise for your partner we can include you in the scenario as much as you like. We advise of course that the person being ‘snatched’ is familiar with kink practices, use of a safe word, and has a strong heart (because the fear factor may be heightened!)
  
• Do you offer kidnaps for all genders and sexualities?
  Yes, some people assume these experiences are mainly for men. It is true that cis men make up the majority of our sessions and kidnaps, but we welcome and encourage (and are familiar with) females, trans people, and anybody on the gender spectrum. Please let us know by email before how you would like your body to be treated and how you identify, or would like to identify in this context.
  
• If I have a particular role play or scenario in mind, can you accommodate?
  Of course! We can play out particular scenarios, who we might be, why you are there, what has led up to you being snatched from your reality. You can outline this in our correspondence beforehand. We will have ours and your safety in mind, so there are some limitations, but theatre is full of possibility.
• How do I secure the kidnap and what can I expect beforehand?
  Once you have told us your interests and we have decided on a date and time, we will ask you for a deposit. This is simply because this takes a lot of planning and preparation and expenses to arrange. There are many timewasters out there who only intend to talk at length about their fantasies, and either never secure the booking or do not show up. When you have made the deposit we can talk more about any specific requests. Remember though, we know what we are doing and mystery is a lot of fun. Try not to control too much of the situation, especially for your first time(s), and leave it up to us to work our magic….

This week, with our Halloween costumes fresh in our minds from the weekend, we’re thinking about latex – and specifically, rubber whips…

Have a look at the above collection of brand new arrivals to The Serpent Rooms! Latex and rubber whips of many sizes (plus a cat-o-four-tails…)

We just love our rubber and latex whips – they can sting when you need them to, or tease when you want to drag it out… you can give a good, sharp smack, without the risk of real damage.

They’re perfect for beginners, or for those who want to expand their experience. Rubber can even give more of a sting than leather – and comes with the added bonus of being able to trail it over your partner’s body, before surprising them by changing to flicks and spanks…

We’ve got latex whips galore at The Serpent Room, which are yours to play with when you hire out the space. Maybe you can warm up with those, before moving onto something more intense.

Other toys for your pleasure… 

Our range of kit is something to be truly reckoned with. Just take a look.
