Set amidst the Victorian splendour of Berkeley Square, the multi-million pound work-over of Funky Buddha has definitely served its purpose, creating a modern, trendy, open-plan night den with central square-shaped bar and seating zones illuminated by neon blue and red zigzag lighting. The spiral staircase to the right leads down to the chill out area, complete with a bar and white leather sofas. On the left is the main bar and dance floor marked with an abstract Buddha fountain. The commodious club abounds in seating for VIP guests, filling all the nooks and corners, offering ample visibility for talent spotting. The music, although varied in styles, is dominated by funky house and electro sounds with a touch of soul and R&B.

Mahiki is a Polynesian style joint, run by Piers Adam and Nick House, and is renowned for its Tahiti themed tropical drinks, Pina Coladas delivered in frozen pineapples, and the Coconut Bomb shelled in a true coconut. Avid party animals with a taste for tropical will find this place absolutely superb. Known to be visited by royal offspring (Princes Harry and William, as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have all showed up here) Mahiki has no shortage of attending celebrities. Scarlett Johansson and Paris Hilton are among the prime guests who have blessed it with their presence, whilst in London. Surprisingly enough, despite its publicity, the place has a rather relaxed door policy without any guest lists. Booking a table however is a bit painful, £800, but if you turn up early there's a fairly good chance of finding a spot without booking.

Right from the outset in September 1998, The Player—the brainchild of Dick Bradsell—has been a true classic and, for years, the only place in London's West End to get a decent drink. The choice of the latter is excellent. The late lounge, underground atmosphere makes The Player a hidden gem on London's cocktail scene, much loved by the local music, cinema and fashion crowd. The place is reputed for being a good early evening livener or late night reviver. You don't have to take their word for it; just go there and find out for yourself.

Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club is a jazz club which has operated in London since 1959. The club opened on 30 October 1959 in a basement at 39 Gerrard Street in London's Soho district. It was managed by musicians Ronnie Scott and Pete King. In 1965 it moved to a larger venue nearby at 47 Frith Street. The original venue continued in operation as the "Old Place" until the lease ran out in 1967, and was used for performances by the up-and-coming generation of musicians. In 2009 Ronnie Scott's was named by the Brecon Jazz Festival as one of 12 venues which had made the most important contributions to jazz music in the United Kingdom, and finished third in the voting for the initial award.
