Valmont - 266 Fulham Road, London, SW10 9EL
The Valmont Club, a 300 capacity nightclub with striking interior design, an impressive cocktail list and a desirable location opened on the Fulham Road, Chelsea, in Autumn 2007. Located on the site formerly known as Café des Artistes, the popular 1960’s and 1970’s live music venue fraternised by The Rolling Stones and Roger Waters, where performers included David Bowie and Queen, The Valmont Club re-introduces the bo­hemian spirit and artistic appeal of its previous incarnation.

The team behind The Valmont Club, recognising the need for a refreshing alternative to the often one-dimen­sional Chelsea nightlife, have married a strong operational team with original design and creative musical program­ming.

Eschewing the hackneyed VIP Room mentality, The Valmont Club aims to generate an inclusive atmosphere where revellers can enjoy expertly created cocktails and listen to some of London’s best DJ’s and live performers in a comfortably stylish and colourful environment.

The Valmont Club boasts a complete makeover courtesy of Makilee Design, the creative agency behind a number of leading bars & restaurants across the UK including The Breakfast Club, Soho and Lost Society, Clapham.

Juxtaposing subdued colours and soft, comfortable furnishings with bright neon statement signage, The Valmont Club is split into 4 main areas. Design details of note include a 60ft sheer black glass-topped bar, banquette seat­ing areas separated by gold beaded curtains and a series of private velvet-curtained booths with individual music volume control.

The entire venue has been adorned with traditional sculptures, paintings and antique furniture items. Neon, black glass and velvet drapes are recurring themes, and there are several art deco statues and figurines from a private collector in New York. There is original antique lighting imported from Holland, and gold etched tables imported from Paris.
