Valmont Club is the kind of place you wished you’d known about earlier… Tucked away in a basement on the vibrant Fulham Road, it’s deceptively large and unpretentious (although annoyingly a guest list still applies) with three rooms to suit all moods. Start with the cream leather room when you’re still sober and sociable and as the night progresses you’ll find yourself veering towards the more forgiving dark room with its gothic tones of maroon, gold and black and before long, the twinkling neon lights pulsating through the walls in time with the music will force you to retreat into a private booth for some shady shenanigans behind the velvet drapes and beaded curtains… Put on your glad rags, order cocktails by the bottle (yes that’s right – this is no place for amateurs), and party with royalty as this is a hot spot for Prince William.
