"After a years rest, the legendary showstopper that has provided endless entertainment for New Years Eve revellers since it's glamorous inauguration in 1997 is returning to Kensington on New Years Eve. The Bond Ball has always put the emphasis on allure, decadence and music to die for.

Best of all, the Kensington Close Hotel and Spa, home of the party for the past 10 years has undergone a 75 million pounds refurbishment making it the hottest new venue in London as well as a designer hotel."
