Soon after André Saraiva opened the original Le Baron back in 2004, it quickly became one of the most popular after-dark addresses in Paris. Famous for its hedonistic and decadent parties, it continues to be the place to rub shoulders with the creative crème de la crème and top-tier scenesters, while champagne flows by the bottle.

Tucked away in the revamped basement of Mayfair’s institutional ‘Embassy’, Le Baron London stays true to its signature style, encompassing ‘50s, retro disco, contemporary art and vintage porn. The musical philosophy can only be described as eclectic. From Edith Piaf to Justice, within one single night, everything – even an impromptu concert by Björk – is possible. But the best thing about the place is their continued policy of saying an unrelenting ’non’ to memberships, minimum spends, table reservations, guest lists or a VIP section. Vive la fraternité!
