Subject: insider tips on party spots??

Hi everybody,

Greetings from London.
I'm working on a piece on the best parties in the world for Maxim and am trying to find people who have been to these events and could share a sentence or two of insider information. It can be for a quote or not.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you so much
Christina
