A New Aura for London Nightlife

For any regulars of London's exclusive nightclubs, Aura, the club on St James Street,  has been a key spot over the past eight years. While over time, more and more inviting options have presented themselves, for example the new clubs on the map Whiskey Mist and Jalouse, or the well established Cuckoo and Maddox, not to mention the timeless classics which are Annabel's and Tramp, Aura has managed to create for itself not a new name but better than that: a new aura. Featuring its more than desirable location on St James's Street, the new Aura, owned and ran by a strong, restructured and truly focussed team, is more than just a club, it also features its own restaurant and bar. I had the pleasure of attending the ambassador drinks last week and to meet some of the the team's passionate and highly talented entrepreneurs: airline mogul Tony Fernandes, events and motosport  entrepreneur Jonny Dodge and Supper Club owner Alberto Barbieri. No club is a club itself without its unique events and the launch party this week (pictures below) was a great avant-gout! The furniture in Aura has been designed and fitted by Martin J. Dodge while the interior was designed by Grapes Associates, the team behind Bungalow 8 and The Dorchester. We look forward to the many memorable nights ahead, for a new Aura in London nightlife.             Aura 48-49 St James's Street, Mayfair, SW1A 1JT Tel: +44 (0) 20 7499 9999 www.the-aura.com Opening Times Restaurant: Tuesday to Saturday – 8pm – 3am Club: Tuesday to Saturday – 10pm – 3am
