Expect to suffer extreme wallpaper envy as you enter Volupté's ground floor bar, then descend to the club proper. Tucked away beneath the streets of the capital's legal and financial heartland, this basement bar serves up some of the best burlesque in town. Vintage-bedecked punters watch the action from tables set beneath writhing absinthe-inspired arabesques. Volupté hosts Cabaret Salon every Wednesday night and once a month the Black Cotton Club turns back the clock to the 1920s. Saturdays see the Afternoon Tease sessions - what could be better than nipple tassels, Champagne and freshly made scones? The Volupté party continues late into the night on the weekends with a 3am license, and the killer cocktails are sure to keep you jiving away.
