 | Description Located in Fitzrovia, Chinawhite is London’s most prestigious luxury members club.Long considered a pioneer in its field, Chinawhite combines it’s formidable heritage with a brand new distinct, progressive and modern approach. ‘Our thinking behind this club is, what is relevant now? As we rise from economic uncertainty, do people really want to leave their houses at 10pm and go to clubs that are nothing more than celebrity platforms?’ Comments Jeremy Hartley, Co-Founder and Managing Director. ‘We believe that is an out-dated concept. When you walk through our doors, you are taken care of in a very bespoke and service led way – a space to eat beautiful food, a space to dance and most importantly a space to spend time with friends. This, is relevant now.’ Inspired by Londons earliest clubs dating back to the 1920’s that entertained ‘outsiders and misfits’ Chinawhite is set to be a melting pot of creatives and independent thinkers. The club is newly located in a grade II listed building on Winsley Street, Fitzrovia, an area which in it’s day was regarded as the centre of artistic importance and home to literary royalty such as George Bernard Shaw, who frequented the infamous Fitzroy Tavern. The UFO Club was home to Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix played at Speakeasy and Bob Dylan debuted at the King and Queen pub, all of which creates the fabric of the area’s past. Likewise, the new Chinawhite guest is not defined by wealth but by a desire to exist outside of the ordinary and guests will come to the club to meet other like-minded people. Once through the doors, guests are enveloped in modern day oriental opulence. The club’s configuration offers distinct changes in mood and tempo. The ground floor restaurant boasts a ceiling of abstract clouds, Chinese hand painted wallpaper, Balinese carved friezes and paintings by Hong Kong artist Nigel Szeto famed for his contemporary pieces that re-work traditional art-forms. The Temple bar with it’s luxurious Missoni cushions and interchanging wall lights offers a space to relax. The main room houses the dance floor and main bar and is realised in a decadent mix of materials. A warm, varied hardwood floor links the spaces seamlessly and the space is surrounded by walls that echo old and new China – a Cole and Son wallpapered oriental landscape sits comfortably alongside a glass bar featuring a traditional poem celebrating life. The poem was penned by a Hong Kong based calligrapher and then realised digitally and projected onto the back of a 30ft glass panel. A gold leaf wall exudes an almost otherworldly light. The VIP room is accessed via a bespoke cast brass door and leads into a cocooned space with low level seated booths surrounded by intricate carved wooden frames. The restaurant serves a modern twist on classic Asian dishes such as Kung Pao chicken, sashimi tuna, blackened halibut, griddled watermelon and toasted ricotta salad as well as grilled foie gras with langoustine. The menu has been designed by chef Adam Penney who has been cooking in London’s gastro-pubs and fine dining restaurants for 14 years, notably the award-winning Horseshoe in Hampstead, Bibendum and The Lonsdale in Notting Hill. Chinawhite is also proud to announce the arrival of Fatima Yashira, Ibiza’s most highly regarded VIP host. ‘Chinawhite defines a new era in nightclubs. This is unlike any other club you have been to : it’s intellectual nightlife, the insider’s insider. And just to be clear …. this club will not make you famous.’ Comments John Stephen, co-founder and Chairman. | |||

My Review
8 out of 10 stars
Brilliant night !!! They told us to arrive early because it was going to be busy so we turned up just after it opened and walked straight in. Its twenty quid to get in which is quite a lot but there are different rooms you can go in with different music the bouncer even let us into the vip which was amazing and the best room. My friend bought a bottle of vodka and the manager of the bar got us seats behind the bar. Lots of people everywhere but next time we want a table in the vip.
