Cuckoo Club - Mayfair, London

The Cuckoo Club has long been heading up the London nightclub cavalry with their sleek and stately Swallow Street establishment. Seamlessly merging the likes of The Rolling Stones or the Stone Roses with the most contemporary dance music sounds and pumping the product out over a bombastic Funktion 1 Soundsystem, Cuckoo has been drawing an amped A-List to their white hot flame of a venue since they opened in 2006.  Spread across 5000 square feet with elaborate furnishings including a mirror-backed bar, silk curtains and a whole lot of purple lighting - Cuckoo encompasses two floors and a restaurant. The upper floor has a more laid-back and lounge-like character while the lower is a dancefloor whose personality they describe as Slash meets Alice in Wonderland. If you're searching for the archetypal London nightlife experience, Cuckoo has earned its rank and file.
