Babushka plays House in Fulham

Take one of London's most successful bar operators of the past decade, add the most famous party promoter of the moment, and you have what could well be the all-singing, all-dancing bar story of the year.

The Babushka boys have teamed up with Nick House to form Babushka House, their first collaboration. The former Lord Palmerston public house has been radically transformed from the flea pit it once was and is now ready to take on the young Fulham party crowds who, until now, have had little in the way of pre-clubbing venues.

An early inspection of the premises revealed that kitsch is the word in this design throwback to Seventies style. We're talking old-fashioned TV sets (broadcasting, I am assured, soft porn movies), kitchen cabinets, standard lamps, winged armchairs, fur rugs and spinning pedestal ashtrays.

Much of the music will be Seventies style but House will run his own interpretation of house music on Saturday nights, with many other events scheduled to follow. These ingredients should mean there's precious little reason to leave Fulham these days, and Babushka House looks likely to become yet another quality destination venue.
