Ignite to open two more London venues

Ignite, the owner of Eclipse bars and trendy London nightspots Boujis in South Kensington and Cocoon on Regent Street, is to open two new venues in 2006.

The group plans to open a 120-seat Eclipse Bar in West Hampstead - on the site of the Cane Bar - in early February, and a new "boutique" nightclub on Swallow Street in March.

The nightclub replaces the Opal Lounge and will be similar in size and style to Boujis.
