Review

Where is it?

The classic Edwardian townhouse, which once played host to Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, stands opposite the Natural History Museum, a short walk from South Kensington tube station. There's no external signage, so you'll need to remember the exact street address.

What's it like?

The cosy Firehouse bar has a trendy seating area and a decked terrace for the summer, and Chloe is in the basement with dark walls, black leather sofas and luminous blue lighting. The clientele are urbane sophisticates, here for anything from a relaxing drink, a full-blown meal in the upstairs restaurant or a drink-fuelled dance in the club. The bar can be a little slow, but the cocktails served make up for it with the SW7 cocktail a particular highlight - it has tanqueray, mint, lime, sugar and soda. Yum!

Why does Johnny Ikon love it?

The crowd is glam, and I like that you can go through the whole night in one venue, moving from one floor to the next. Great cocktails!

Johnny recommends somewhere to eat before

	E & O 14 Blenheim Crescent, W11 1NN. Some say this place is style over substance, but I disagree. The food rocks!
	Le Caprice Arlington House, Arlington Street, SW1A 1RJ. Glitz, glamour and A-list clientele make this London eating institution as popular with the punters as the critics
	Zuma 5 Raphael Street, SW7 1DL. A sophisticated twist on contemporary Japanese dining
	J. Sheekey 28-32 St. Martin's Court, WC2N 4AL. The West End's most famous fish restaurant
