The three-floor summit of London’s iconic Centre Point, the 33-story landmark tower bang in the middle of the city’s low-rise West End, is set to become the stage for Paramount, one of the capital’s newest – and loftiest – members’ clubs.
It was only a matter of time before a clever pair of eyes realized the dazzling potential of the top-floor space, which enjoys 360-degree views of the city, a prime location, and a quiet, removed exclusivity amidst the frenetic bustle of London life.
The countdown to the October opening began last Thursday with the illumination of a new lighting installation on the façade of the 1966 Richard Seifert building, electrifying the familiar Centre Point sign in neon blue.
The sophisticated Tom Dixon-designed interior will feature a wrap around champagne bar on the top floor – surely set to become one of the most spectacular (and romantic) seats in town – along with extensive private event, dining, bar and lounge space on the lower two levels.
Dixon collaborated closely throughout the project with lead consultant Mark Way, custom-designing the mezzanine level reception desk and the 32nd floor members’ bar. The venture will be overseen by Pierre Condou, the man behind such other successful London establishments as Bistro Bruno, L’Odeon restaurant and the Century club.
