A dated British slang term for a brothel, drawing on 'kip' in its older sense of a cheap lodging house or bed. The term has largely fallen out of use, surviving mainly in historical accounts of Victorian and Edwardian low life. Its euphemistic framing -- presenting a brothel as merely a place to sleep -- was typical of the evasive slang of the era.

Old-fashioned slang for a brothel, used in Britain from the 19th and early 20th centuries. 'Kip' had its own layered slang history — meaning a sleep, a cheap lodging house, or a bed — and a kip-shop was where you paid for more than just a roof over your head. The term is dated enough to be colourful without being offensive, showing up in historical crime fiction and period dramas.
