Eve was a private members' nightclub at 189 Regent Street, central London. Founded in 1953, it had the world's first illuminated glass floor and, according to The Daily Telegraph, the "most daring show" in London's West End, including topless girls and strippers.

Members included kings, ambassadors, sultans and a bishop. It was popular with diplomats and senior civil servants, and was known for "its unique appeal of glamour, intrigue, sex, sophistication, daring floorshows and mystery".[1] The Romanian-born co-owner and hostess, Helen O'Brien, worked as a spy for Britain's MI5.
