The Exclusive Haunts of London's Elite

Its not uncommon to sight celebrities walking the streets of London. London's fashionable areas boast of an almost exclusively celebrity clientele. Here are some of the city's places where you can sight a celebrity.

Bungalow 8: in the Covent Garden area of London, is a regular haunt of many famous people. This is a fashionable, subterranean with regular guests including Kelly Osbourne, Kate Moss, Damien Hurst and top designer Christopher Kane, who held his Dazed and Confused Fashion Week after party in the club. With bottles of water alone costing £10 though, you'd better be ready to spend like a celebrity as you rub shoulders with them.

Maddox is another upmarket establishment. A members-only bar situated in the Mayfair area, this bar was designed by renowned designer Sammy Chams, who created a minimal space with room for a bar, boutique club area and an Italian restaurant with the main focal point being the glass encased DJ booth at the top of a staircase. Playing a mix of funky house, R 'n B and chart hits, Maddox has a wide range of cocktails and food on offer, sure to please even the most discerning of London clubbers, with top names seen at the club including P Diddy and Keira Knightley.

Maya:Arguably the hottest West End late night haunt in the Soho area, decorated in stunning colours with walls clad with transparent screens etched in a mosaic effect, which alternate through a spectrum of vivid fluorescent colours during the night. With most nights in Maya packed full of upbeat and friendly club goers the atmosphere is always vibrant, with table service being provided by a fleet of waitresses clad in bright yellow hotpant-length playsuits. With a music policy ranging from current rock acts to 70's cheese, the dancefloor is busy all night long helping to sustain a tremendous atmosphere.
