| Tucked away in the heart of Soho, BUREAU is a Private Members’ bar and boutique nightclub that is the antithesis of impersonal West-end nightclubs. Bringing together established names and bright young things from all over the capital, the intimate venue operates as ‘members’ only in the truest sense of the word. Gone are the rigid door policies, velvet ropes and burly bouncers: instead the gates to its sumptuous surroundings open with the touch of your membership card on a discreet, hidden door. BUREAU’s in-house technology registers which members are in the House, automatically adding your preferred music to its playlist and identifying your favourite choice of cocktails to the Maitre d’ and expert barmen. Inside the club, BUREAU’s homely and sophisticated décor unveils an unexpected warmth and understated luxury. Architect Satmoko Ball juxtaposed contemporary styling with the spirit reminiscent of a house party where comfortable sofas, rich art deco furniture, Swarovski chandeliers and bespoke fabrics make for just enough decadence to feel this is the place to be. Using only the finest materials, the difference truly lies in the attention to detail, where comfort and privacy are the order of the day. With a capacity of about 100 persons, BUREAU is the anti-club club and the perfect party space for the like-minded social aficionado. It is where exemplary service and attention to detail will never go out of fashion, from tableside mixology, to the bar staff remembering your tipple of choice, to the delectable champagne and fine wine list – all of which were blind-tasted by Bureau’s sommeliers. For members, BUREAU is the intermittent home away from home for art salons, book readings, film nights, and dynamic events tuned to the London calendar. During the day, the club is the perfect place for a tête a tête, business meeting, or lunch. At night, guest DJs and dance hybrids from all over the world play well into the early hours where anything can happen |
