Nightlife specialists Forbidden London – who currently provide concierge, guest list, club table reservation and event planning services for the top London clubs including Boujis, Cafe de Paris, Chinawhite and Funky Buddha – are launching a new magazine-style guide to the best bars, hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and attractions in London aimed at residents and visitors to Covent Garden, Mayfair, Soho and St James’s.
The guide to London, due to be published in June 2010, will be distributed by leading airlines, hotels and businesses in Central London providing readers with the opportunity to discover new places to visit and things to do or see when in the capital.
The magazine is the inspiration of Forbidden London CEO James WJ Wilson who realised that London was missing a specialist free guide to help high net worth individuals enjoy the most from their time out in London.
“London is one of the top destinations in the world for visitors but there are currently no free printed guides that really highlight the high-end activities, products and services our clients seek.”
“By producing the Forbidden London Magazine we are looking at helping tourists and residents get the most out of the best London has to offer whether they have a passion for fashion, nightlife or more cultural pursuits.”
The magazine, to be published twice annually, will feature sections focused on Dining, Health & Beauty, Nightlife, Shopping, Sightseeing and Places to Stay.
Businesses in the Covent Garden, Mayfair, Soho and St James’s currently have the opportunity to apply for a listing in the forthcoming magazine by contacting Forbidden London.

New Year’s Eve in London is the biggest night of the year with millions of people flocking to the centre of the capital to enjoy the nightlife and the top night clubs hosting their most extravagant celebrity parties.
Although 2009 has been much publicised as a bad year for the economy the best London clubs are still pulling out all the stops with VIPs expected to be arriving in limousines and enjoying the events, popping Champagne bottles, as they normally would during the festive season.
Some of the most well known night clubs and private members clubs in Chelsea, Kensington, Mayfair and Soho include famous names such as Amika, Boujis, Cafe de Paris, Chinawhite, Disco 24, Embassy, funkybuddha, HEYJOCLUB, Maya, The Mayfair Club and Vendome.
These are clubs regularly frequented by A-list celebrity clubbers such as P.Diddy, JLS, Girls Aloud, Jay Z, Kate Moss and Beyonce where entry is controlled by strict guest lists and the crowd is mostly made up of elite clubbers more used to gracing the pages of Tattler than The Sun.
James WJ Wilson, Director of Forbidden London Clubs, one of the leading promotion companies in London’s club-land believes the top bars and clubs have everything to look forward to as he forecasts a great Christmas and New Year in the West End.
“London is the most fashionable city in the world and despite Gordon Brown’s best attempts to derail the economy, the nightlife – bars, night clubs and restaurants – particularly at the top end of the market, are still performing well.”
“People are perhaps not spending at the same level as they were two years ago, maybe we’ve seen the last of the bankers splurging £30,000 on bottles of Cristal Champagne for now, but overall most of our clients are wealthy and still want to enjoy themselves. In my opinion there is no better place to do that than at the best events in London which are hosted by the top clubs and promoters.”
Lord Dave West, owner of the HEYJOCLUB in St James’s is well known publicly thanks to his Cherie Blair assisted battle against the smoking ban and his penchant for bright pink suits; he echoed this view.
“I own one of the top clubs (HEYJOCLUB) and one of the best restaurants (Abracadabra Russian Restaurant) in Central London and we are finding that the high-end customers we entertain are still enjoying spending their money on fine food and fine wines”
“Many of our best clients are Russian and the government has not managed to ruin everyone’s fun yet, they’re still spending.”
With Christmas and New Year’s Eve just round the corner and most companies still planning on rewarding their staff for what could be considered a difficult year, things are looking bright for the glamorous London clubs the VIPs and celebrities love.

Presenters from daytime TV show, Loose Women, celebrated the programs 10th Birthday at top London club Cafe de Paris, on Coventry Street, on Thursday night.
Celebrities at the event in London included Peter Andre - former husband of Jordan, Brendan Cole, Jenny Powell, Anthony Costa and model Caprice.
Carol McGiffin, a star of the show who’s never shy of enjoying a glass of Champagne or two, was flashing to drag queens and eating the face off her toy boy while Denise Welch was cavorting with an unsuspecting male; a not-so-glamorous show for the waiting paparazzi photographers.

Lancashire born Diana Vickers took time out in London at the weekend by hitting the top clubs after working hard on her soon to be released debut album.
The 18 year old singer, who came in fourth place in last year’s hit ITV show the X Factor, was seen emerging from the top celebrity night club Cafe de Paris on Coventry Street in Soho, looking bleary eyed and not so steady on her heels. She was accompanied by two strange men; one of which was carrying a giant banana.
Oh dear, perhaps they all had one Champagne too many.

Top London clubs like Amika, Boujis, Cafe de Paris, Chinawhite, Embassy, Funky Buddha, Movida and Vendome have traditionally welcomed some of the World’s richest and most glamorous people through their doors. With sterling suffering, property prices falling and unemployment rising the economic downturn seems to be effecting the UK particularly harshly. Combined with the quieter summer months you would expect London night clubs to be suffering but with the help of a new service by entrepreneur James WJ Wilson business is booming and a whole host of new elite party-goers are being introduced to the scene.
The new website he launched in April this year with the help of his business partner Dave West - who has already achieved success and fame for making millions from cut-price booze and cigarettes in France and Belgium; employing Cherie Blair to fight the smoking ban; and of course his penchant for bright pink suits - allows non-members to register for access to the best clubs in London via the Forbidden London guest list.
James WJ Wilson expanded on the concept, “The London clubs have tended to keep a closed circle in order to maintain the quality of their crowd. The result of this is that is often difficult to find out information about events taking place in these amazing venues. These are events attracting some of the most famous names in celebrity circles such as Jay Z, Beyonce, Prince William and Prince Harry. The public can access these London parties if they know the correct people. We have made things easier for visitors to our website and subscribers to our newsletter by providing information about the top clubs online and most importantly giving them a channel for receiving invitations.”
A quick tour of the website, which is easy to navigate with a sophisticated black and gold look, shows the clubs open on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday may not be the same clubs open on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The website clearly simplifies the process of finding out information.
James explained further, “Past experience has long shown that in times of recession and doom & gloom people love to enjoy themselves whilst the devaluation of the pound against the euro has made it a better time than in a long time for Europeans to visit London.
These new faces have fed the cosmopolitan West End nightlife scene as heightened awareness in the clubs - created by the mainstream newspapers following the movements of celebrities around Soho and Mayfair nightspots - has drawn a new pool of people keen to rub shoulders with the wealthy and celebrated.”
James has been working in the nightlife industry since 2006 when he was introduced to the high-end venues he is now a virtual resident at by his business partner Dave West.
“I am a club owner myself so that’s primarily where my interest in the business is, helping the club owners and keeping the London club scene that has existed for nearly 400 years burgeoning”, Dave, the owner of the HeyJo Members Club on Jermyn Street explained, “I think it’s a fantastic way of introducing new customers to our private clubs without compromising on the type of guests we hope to attract.”
Those interested in taking a trip to London and its exclusive clubs can do so by registering for guest list or by making club table reservations via the London based website guide to clubbing, http://www.forbiddenlondon.com

Jay Z is also in London this week and rumoured to be making an appearance at Movida on Wednesday or Thursday and at Cafe de Paris on Friday for the Roc-a-fella Party following his gig with Coldplay - let’s hope Chris Martin and company play something cheery for a change or Mr Z will be Mr Zzzzzzzzz.
The Blueprint 3 is a crazy album, we’ve been listening to it non-stop for three weeks in the Forbidden London Clubs‘ offices on Jermyn Street, so we are particularly excited by the Roc-a-fella party at Cafe de Paris on Friday. Hosted by Memphis Bleek this is sure to draw the celebs following the Coldplay - Jay Z concert earlier in the evening.
Register for the Cafe de Paris guestlist or reserve a club table for what is promising to be a fantastic Friday club night!

Celebrity 95.8 Capital Radio presenter, ex-girlfriend of actor George Clooney Lisa Snowden is usually the epitome of cool, but it was a different story at the Britain’s Next Top Model end-of-season party at the Cafe de Paris on Coventry Street in Soho last weekend, on the Saturday.
Rumour has it that the former model let her hair down so successfully that she had to be helped into a chair. We have been told that the party got underway after several bankers spotted Lisa at the London nightclub and sent over five Magnums of Champagne to the VIP. The bankers then asked to be moved next to her. Apparently she even turned down a marriage proposal from one of them.
But it was a good night for the Cafe de Paris as models from the reality show, presented by Lisa, spent £15,000 at the bar on cocktails, vodka and Champagne.
