The American Express Centurion Lounge returns to London this Winter

Despite teething troubles last year (which included scheduling a ticketed event for the opening night, so virtually no-one who turned up on spec as encouraged could get in), American Express is bringing its Centurion Lounge concept back to London.

It is taking over Unit 6 on Langley Street in Covent Garden, which is:

“an immersive event and exhibition space, dedicated to experimental projects and programming. A grade I listed building with stunning exposed brick and industrial steelwork, the space is totally unique.”

A picture is above.  The lounge will be open from 13th to 16th December.

“Platinum Cardmembers and Centurion members [plus two guests per cardholder] are invited to escape the busy streets of London to relax, recharge, and leave the holiday stress behind in our welcoming space. The pop-up will be open from 13 – 16 December and will provide refreshments from chefs, as well as cocktails, special gifts and more.”
