Seven Nightspots For Right Royal Affairs

Prince Harry has blazed a trail through most of west London over the last few years, singlehandedly keeping the silly-money nightclub industry alive. Here’s where to follow in his footsteps.

1. Mahiki

Part of the brains trust that put together Wills’ stag do back in 2011, court jester Guy Pelly now promotes a string of nightspots. Tiki-themed Mahiki might just be the jewel in the crown.

2. Whisky Mist

Another one of Pelly’s, this temple to hedonism has a Scottish twang. Tucked away inside the Hilton Park Lane, the bar has a big focus on ultra-premium single malts.

3. Boujis

Wills, Harry and Zara all enjoyed some formative nights out in South Ken’s finest. You’re more likely to find a minor Middleton sibling there these days – which means you too have got a half of chance of passing muster in front of the bouncers.

4. Tonteria

Make like a Mexican drug lord from the safety of SW1’s hottest theme club. Can’t afford the £1,500 a bottle Patron Burdeos tequila? Then you probably shouldn’t be here.

5. The Box Soho

A cabaret club on a Soho side street, The Box is at least as debauched as that sounds. An evening’s entertainment might begin with fire eating and burlesque, but soon descends to somewhere far raunchier.

6. Rum Kitchen

Focus on the chicken and avoid the jerks at Harry’s favourite Caribbean eatery. Emboldened by a trip to Jamaica in 2012, this is where he finally got down and dirty with Cressida Bonas.

7. Bunga Bunga

Billing itself as ‘an Englishman’s Italian’, Battersea’s Bunga Bunga is a pizzeria-cum-karaoke joint with a gondola-shaped bar, Sistine Chapel wallpaper and a Venetian monsoon’s worth of prosecco.
