History
The original Eve Club opened its doors in 1953 on 189 Regent Street and
enjoyed a spectacular history. Christine Keeler met John Perfumo there
in the early Sixties and this saw the start of the Perfumo scandal. MI5
and the KGB both frequented the club, as documented in the FBI files that
have now been released. Frank Sinatra was a regular when in town, and
Judy Garland sang her last London performance on the stage at The Eve
Club.
Sadly the original Eve Club closed its doors for the
last time on New Years Eve, January 2003 due to the Crown Estates redevelopment
of Regent Street. But Saffron knew she couldn’t leave all the history
and memories behind so took the name and some of the original interior
of the old club and opened up round the corner; a new and vibrant Eve
was born.
The new Eve Club reopened on 12th September 2003 and
has rapidly become one of London’s most desirable venues. An intimate
space to mingle; party and enjoy the finest service; vintage champagne
and great music, in a post modern 50’s atmosphere.
The stunning interior includes a magnificent ice sculptured
bar which is brilliantly lit with a myriad of colours and illuminated
fibre optics. The club is scattered with low tables and soft cushions,
surrounding the most stunning and infamous luminous glass dance floor
in London
Since the new Eve threw open its doors, Safron has hosted
parties with the Bee-Gees, Virgin Records & OK Magazine. The club
has also been used for numerous corporate events such as MTV, Nev’s
Models, Ushers Album Launch, Footballers Wives, JP Morgan, Sony &
Hello Magazine. Eve has been the chosen location for Pulp’s Disco
2000, Scissor Sisters, Nathalie Imbruglia and Supergrass pop promos, along
with Rachel Hunter using Eve for filming Make me a Supermodel.
Eve is a haven for the stars. With the eclectic music
philosophy – Funky, Disco, Sexy Kitsch, we are a magnet for regulars
such as Liv Tyler, all the Blue Boys, The Kittens, 411, Robbie Williams,
Scissor Sisters, Chris Evans & Jay Kay. Eve has even been graced with
the presence of royalty on our famous bi-weekly Rothschild night.
If you want to come down and have a night of glamour,
dress up to get down, come to Eve, and let yourself go.

Safron
From an early age Safron knew she wanted to be around the bright lights
of the showbiz world. After leaving school at sixteen, she went to study
at the infamous Sylvia Young Theatre School. With a taste of things
to come she then went on to work backstage at the Apollo Theatre, earning
some extra pocket money assisting the wardrobe department on some of
London’s biggest musicals and stage shows. From there she was
appointed head stylist at the ‘Talk of the Town’, now known
as the Hippodrome, where stars like the Commodores, Shirley McLaine
and Nina Simone performed. A chance meeting with her idol, Shirley Bassey
backstage after her performance made sure in Safron’s mind she
was on the right road.
Safron made the jump from stylist to actor using her
skills learnt from Sylvia Young and took to numerous auditions, which
finally lead her to appear in Supergirl alongside Faye Dunaway and Helen
Slater. From there she went on to work with Roger Moore in Ian Flemings
‘Octopussy’ and her most recent accolade - Superman with the
late Sir Christopher Reeve.
With Safron’s connections in London’s theatreland
she was approached to co-host a party at London’s Ronnie Scotts
Jazz Cafe. The party was a huge success, and she was inundated with
offers from clubs and promoters all over London. Safron built up a portfolio
of contacts that made her the talk of the town. Armed with experience
and confidence she took on the legendry Eve club, a club steeped in
history. Little did Saffron know that this was to be the start of something
really big.
