Centre Point to become a club

The iconic Centre Point building is to be transformed into a club with a view after standing empty for years.

The three top floors of the tower will open next summer as a restaurant and members' club. Kevin Spacey, Stephen Fry, Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connolly, Ray Winstone and Graham Norton have already signed up to be members.

The club, with panoramic views, is headed by Pierre Condou, the Frenchman who founded Soho private members' bar Century. Its board includes Nick Allott, managing director of the Cameron Mackintosh group, and John Hegarty of Bartle Bogle Hegarty advertising agency.

Mr Condou said: "The building is fantastic, with the best views in London. I feel very strongly the architect, Richard Seifert, has not got the acclaim he deserves and I want to bring his name back."

He added there was still an opportunity for people to buy into the project. Grade II-listed Centre Point, opened in 1966. It has been empty for a decade as the owners have searched for suitable tenants.
