Review

Where is it?

Located in Hanover Square, the nearest tube to this moneyed address is Oxford Circus.

What's it like?

Attracting high profile names to its launch like Paris Hilton, Jalouse wants to carve itself a niche right at the top of the upper echelons of London clubland. The large crystal ceiling is stunning, and the DJ "pod" is cool. The punters are mostly rich men and the blonde girls who follow this breed around, eager to be bought cocktails (£13-18) and champagne, which is the expected drink of choice here. Champagne buckets and glasses are left on the tables to encourage those rich gentlemen to dig out the black Amex and order a magnum.

Why does Johnny Ikon love it?

Well, aren't you jealous?

Johnny recommends somewhere to eat before

	Asia de Cuba St Martin's Lane Hotel, 45 St Martin's Lane, WC2N 4HX. Global cuisine for the global traveller
	E & O 14 Blenheim Crescent, W11 1NN. Some say this place is style over substance, but I disagree. The food rocks!
	Daphne's 112 Draycott Avenue, SW3 3AE. With a sister restaurant on Barbados, this is the last word in relaxed Italian dining
	Hakkasan 8 Hanway Place, W1T 1HD. A well-hidden gem!
