It seems like Annabel's nightclub is a place for the London elite. Is it hard to get into this place? I haven't been able to find a website. Has anyone been here?

probably not difficult for any of the MEMBERS to get in as its private. You'll have to find one. Mmmmm...are both of the prinzlings engaged? Any loose lords - dangling dukes - vacant viscounts?

You have to be introduced by a member; if you don't know one, you won't get in. I'm not a member anymore, so can't help you!

To be honest, you won't be missing much even if you don't get there. The last time I was there (which was about 6-9 months ago) it was full of obnoxious hedge fund types.

We don't have an elite. We have lots of groups who delude themselves they are. The people who actually matter in Britain have much better things to do with their lives than hang round nightclubs.

Annabel's, on the rare occasions I've been there, is pleasant because it's nicely furnished, has civilised staff and an enjoyable, very London, lack of interest in Slebmania. Fellow-ravers did seem to be a lot more drawn from the financial services community than from the toffs or Slebs Mark Birley pretended he was attracting. Mostly relatively sane and low-powered clones of Annabel Goldsmith's last husband.

As W9 implies: To get in, hang round the boozers of Curzon St as the hedge funds close for the night and see who you can chat up. However, given the area's other nocturnal activities, your actions might be misinterpreted.

Gee, and here I thought (obviously mistakenly) that London's elite hung out at Buck House!

Queen prefers Windsor & Chuck has his own place just down the road from Buck House. So unless you consider the elite to be the servants, troops & tourists then the answer is no

The whole point about the royal family is that they are there for the various groups of people who think they are the elite to - ever so slightly - look down on.
