Funky Buddha has closed; Itzel now operates at its Berkeley Street address. The Mayfair club no longer operates, so its dress code no longer applies and its guestlist and tables can no longer be booked.

What the Funky Buddha dress code was
For reference only, as none of this applies any more: Funky Buddha ran a Smart Casual code. Men were expected in a collared shirt or a good polo with chinos or smart jeans and leather shoes, loafers or smart boots. Women could dress up or keep it relaxed, with a dress or smart jeans and a going-out top, and heels, boots or smart flats.
The door refused sportswear, trainers of any kind (designer pairs included), flip-flops and sandals for men, caps and beanies, shorts and workwear. The standard was the same every night, but Saturday was the strictest.
