Maddox is the new London club for the determined party goers of the capital. Well equipped, with a brace of bars, a courtyard and Italian restaurant, as well as a glass encased staircase which doubles up as a see-all setting for the DJ.

Most of the action takes place on the ground floor, a dance area served by one of the bars. The second bar is on the lower ground floor where table service is available. Light Italian meals of salads and pastas are served.

Without doubt the courtyard is the feature for which Maddox will become known, a setting for dawdling beneath stars on balmy summer evenings. Combined with the Terrace, an al fresco dining area that provides a roosting venue for those who to whom the length of the night is indefinite and where the smokers will be able to leave their carbon footprint on the night skies of London, this is a hedonistic collection of elegant spaces that is bound to prove popular with the membership.
