Here's Brief History lession from one the students who studied there
Nino set up the Basement in 1984 (I think) on a dodgy council estate in London. It was pretty much a full-time club (two hours in the morning, two or three hours in the evening, senior guys got a key to train when they wanted). Wong Shun Leung used to come over quite regularly for seminars throughout the eighties and early to mid nineties.
Nino moved to Ibiza in 2000, leaving the Basement in the hands of his senior students, especially Kev and Guy. The club eventually moved to a new location in an even dodgier area, before closing. A lot of the senior guys still train with Guy at the Warehouse, also in north London.
Nino trained a lot of very good people over the years and many of them have set up their own schools. He never advertised the Basement and kept quite a low profile and the same thing is true of some of his top students. It means that when people talk about WSL wing chun in the UK, sometimes they forget to mention the Basement guys.
One thing that people forget is that it was never a cult. In other words, Nino says "I don´t market the fighting side of things" and people assume that none of his students can fight. Not true at all! The dragonhall guys might have something to say about that! Also, Nino says "You don´t need to do weights" and people assume that all the Basement boys were all dead skinny and weak. Not true at all!
I was lucky enough to find out about the Basement in 2000, a few months before Nino left for Ibiza. While I was learning the basics, he did a lot of talking about the philosophy of wing chun to make sure his seniors kept on the right path and I found it very inspiring. I continued to train with his seniors until I moved to Spain last year. I still go and visit Guy whenever I´m in London and go to as many seminars with Nino as I can. I also train with some mates out here whenever I can find the time.
The thing that was really humbling about the Basement was how many hours the seniors had put in. When I was starting out, I´d ask people how long they´d been training and they´d say "Oh, only eight years, but I´m not very good yet" or "Ten or 12 years, but I had a year off once."
In other words, if anyone wants to find out if the senior Basement boys are any good, go and find out! Don´t judge the whole clan based on misconceptions from the internet or meeting junior guys at seminars or whatever. Go and visit the senior guys!

There are a few others who don´t have websites, but these would be a good place to start researching whether the Basement boys are any good.
