Not very UJ I know, but this freakishly hot weather we've been having has made me come over all LA - and I'm not just talking the odd Frappuccino.

After what seems like an eternity of cosy jumpers and cottage pie by candlelight, the balmy evenings are enticing me to stay out later and live out my Lindsay Lohan fantasies. Partying like a rockstar.

Luckily for me, London seems to be catching up with LA in the nightclub stakes, and I mean proper dancing-on-banquettes-and-spraying-Cristal-around-the-room nightclubs.

The latest of these is The Island in Westminster which opens on Thursday night, the motto for which is 'What Is Said And Done Never Leaves' - questionable grammar perhaps, but seeing as the club has a 6am licence, the sentiment at least could be suitably dangerous.

Of course, the other new den of iniquity is Maddox in Mayfair, which, apart from having a, like, totally Hollywood name, has the added attraction of a courtyard and terrace, lending it even more LaLa Land appeal.
