FireHouse

Set over three floors of a grand Grade II listed Georgian mansion directly opposite the Natural History Museum, The Firehouse is a class act, attracting an equally stylish clientele. Previously a private function room, the first floor dining room - which partly overlooks the aforementioned London landmark - now offers non-members a comfortable, not to mention refined, refuge where you can savour a perfectly prepared (GM-free) club restaurant classic to cutting edge cuisine. A sample starter from the changing British European menu is bocconcini of mozzarella, cherry tomato and fennel salad, while a mouthwatering main course goes something like this: grilled escalope of veal and mashed potato with lemon and rosemary and spinach. Previously known as the Hudson Club, Jimi Hendrix played his first UK concert here and, in 1966, it was where Tom Jones celebrated his first chart number one. Allegedly, it was also the last place Lord Lucan was seen alive.Average price - £35 (€49)In-house Bar Firehouse has an in-house bar with a 3am licence and a fab night club below. So head on over for a few drinks before your dinner, and move downstairs afterwards if you're in the mood for a bit of a dance.
