Aura is a hybrid - part cocktail bar, part club and part pan Asian Fusion restaurant. At 11pm, the tables at this slick-posh but laid-back mysterious establishment are ingeniously lowered with a touch of a button, and is thus transformed into a club. This 250-capacity venue is located in Mayfair, by the Ritz. Prices sit on the plush side, so it seems only natural that Aura's clientele consists of designer-conscious suits and babes and the odd celebrity.
