As Xmas lights were hung on Portobello and a cold front moved in we found some lovely events to warm and enliven anyone’s spirit. The fabulous launch of Absolutely Notting Hill saw fantastic frocks and a glittering crowd gather at Beach Blanket Babylon to welcome the new glossy.  It was a great night showcasing a wonderful magazine alongside a stylish and eclectic crowd.  If you’re looking for an art fix head to PayneShurvell for a smoking good show or the West-End offers some Hollywood glamour with Thandie Newton in Death and the Maiden.
