All good stories need a start, so here’s one: once upon a time, about two decades back, there was a nightclub where the most famous drink was called a Crack Baby, where the go-to night was a Tuesday — because few who went had the trifling worry of, Christ, having to work for a living come Wednesday — and where Prince Harry was famous for shooting back the voddies, not the Taliban.
This was a club where Harry, his elder brother, and their crowd would be partying with everyone from Hugh Grant to heavy metal bands. It drew Cameron Diaz and Cara Delevingne, and, in 2016, was only finally forced to shut down after two mates sparked an early-hours brawl after a long night in the private room. Loafers at dawn, Ralph Lauren logos everywhere. This was Boujis — those were bouji nights — and from tomorrow night, it’s coming back, just around the corner from its old home in South Ken.
