La Roux to open a new Covent Garden bar

Electro pop star La Roux will open a new bar in Covent Garden tonight.

It is hoped the laid-back decor of the Foundation Bar will attract the sort of crowd who usually drink in Shoreditch or Hoxton.

La Roux, aka Elly Jackson from Dulwich, has the DJ spot with other special guest Dead Guy.

The bar, in Langley Street, also invited filmmakers to create a short promotional trailer in association with the London Film School to celebrate the opening, which is now available on YouTube.
