“Located in Piccadilly, Caviar House is a luxurious little gem renowned for its fine caviar, that has recently raised its cocktail credentials too. An institution of opulence, the elegant establishment holds prime real estate on a busy, bustling corner and is a great spot for taking a moment and watching the world go by. Pull up a bar stool and chat to Ace their head bartender. Well worth it.” (Caviar House, London Cocktail Week)

Piccadilly, City of Westminster
London, January 2008
“Robbie Williams will refuse to make another album for his record label EMI, according to a report. The singer is still under contract with EMI, but is unhappy after the label was taken over by private equity firm Terra Firma, his manager has told The Times. Tim Clark told the paper Williams would not deliver a new album because he had no idea how the label would handle it. Radiohead and Sir Paul McCartney have already left EMI, with reports that Coldplay and Kylie Minogue may follow. EMI's UK chief executive - who signed many of the label's current stars - also left the company on Tuesday after 25 years.” (Robbie Williams ‘goes on strike’, BBC News)
