Curiosity got the better of me yesterday when reading about the filming of 'An Education'. Not living in London I have no idea about the Cafe De Paris which according to yesterdays Daily Express is to be used as one of the filming locations.

So a spot of googling turned up the webpage! WOW! :o

CAFE DE PARIS

QUOTE
Set in the heart of London's Piccadilly, Café de Paris has been a dazzling and opulent venue since it opened it's fabled doors in 1924. Now a Grade II listed building, Café de Paris is superb for hosting all types of events and parties.


You can read about the history of the Cafe De Paris HERE

QUOTE
Opening its doors in 1924 under the control of London impresario Harry Foster, the Café de Paris quickly established itself as one of Europe's premier nightspots. Much of the early success was due to a visit from the Prince of Wales, who after an impromptu midweek visit became a regular guest bringing with him the crème de la crème of European society. The fusion of a beautiful and elite audience with energetic and groundbreaking cabaret performances separated the venue from its rivals. The main aim of the Café De Paris was to see and be seen-a trait that continues even now.

I actually went to a birthday party at Cafe de Paris a few years ago. It really is a fantastic place.
