There was certainly cause to celebrate at 32 Portland Place last week, the £15 million west London mansion owned by Edward Davenport. The self-described “flamboyant entrepreneur”, also known as “Fast Eddie”, won a court battle to stop police from shutting down parties at his home. “Fighting. Won. Freedom to party,” the 58-year-old wrote on Instagram after the verdict was announced. “I’m delighted,” he tells me by phone from his “penthouse apartment in Bangkok” where he now spends half his time. Davenport flew back to Thailand from London, having successfully challenged the closure order – which would have stopped anyone who wasn’t living at the property from entering it.
