Top London club and restaurant, Chinawhite, reopened at its all new venue on Winsley Street, just off Oxford Street, in the trendy Soho district on Wednesday night.
The oriental influenced night club was host to Champagne drinking celebrities Chelsy Davy, Natalie Imbruglia, Noel Gallagher, Princess Beatrice and Jenni Falconer. The stars and royalty were entertained by contortionist Rubber Ritchie and fire eaters who wore nothing but a thong and black and gold paint.
The celebrity hangout – an institution in the London nightlife scene – was renowned for its luxurious interior and high-profile guests and it looks set to maintain this reputation. Its original site also in Soho, on Air Street, is now part of a new five star hotel being developed by an Arab Consortium who secured the lease from the Crown Estates from late December 2008.
All guests were on their best behaviour, no drunken photographs, very public displays of affection or fashion disasters. Finally a club that has some class!
