“CROSSED legs aren’t allowed in here,” Eddie says in his cut-glass accent as I settle onto the infamous bed where pornstar Bonnie Blue recently slept with over 1,000 men in 12 hours.
I quickly uncross my legs, adjusting my posture.

As The Sun’s Sexpert, I’ve been granted exclusive access to Eddie’s lavish Marylebone mansion – the setting for London’s most elite and hedonistic parties.
It’s also the scene of a string of scandals – including a violent brawl at the weekend where three guests were stabbed.
Cops and paramedics were called to the Portland Place party venue, where Bonnie Blue recently slept with more than a 1,000 men in 12 hours.
Four men were taken to hospital – although none had life-threatening wounds.
It’s not the first time Eddie’s parties have been marred by violence. In 2019, bouncer Tudor Simionov was stabbed to death while manning the door to a £2,000 a ticket bash.
Eddie, who was in Thailand at the weekend, insists the latest scandal won’t see him shutting his doors for good, despite a temporary closure order issued by police on Sunday.
He told The Sun: “I wasn’t there that night but I’ve heard what happened and we are assisting the police in every way possible.
“We’re delighted that the police acted swiftly and caught the culprits.
“There were around 50 people at the party, and the individuals involved knew each other.
“Unfortunately, there are always people who go out, get drunk, and cause trouble. London is a big city, and incidents like this happen, but the important thing is that it’s been dealt with.
“There was no threat to our guests and the individuals involved knew each other.”
He added that the culprits “slipped through the net” after being introduced as “friends” by two female guests.
And he vowed to carry on throwing his controversial sex parties, with “extra security measures, including ID scanning” adding: “We’ll also be vetting all guests who bring friends to stop an incident like this happening in the future.
“While we were initially served a closure notice, it was withdrawn after 24 hours. I wasn’t happy about it, but I accept that it was an emergency response.
“Ultimately, the fight is over, no one was seriously injured, and we continue to cooperate fully with authorities.”
Dressed in his trademark velvet jacket and Gucci slip-ons, Eddie has been hosting orgies for over FIVE decades and his hedonistic haven has drawn police attention 63 times – thanks to noise complaints, alleged drug use and rowdy partygoers.
But despite the backlash, he recently won a court case, securing his “right to party” .
“It was mainly one neighbour,” he sighs. “Any time well-dressed, sexy people arrived, she’d call the police. She just didn’t like it. Even in court, she admitted, ‘I don’t like the type of people who go there.’
“I mean, it was quite extraordinary. I guess she’s a conservative, maybe a very religious woman or something like that, and she just didn’t like the girls in the short skirts and high heels.”
Unbowed, Eddie says nothing will stop him hosting his X-rated events.
“I’m the best host of sex parties,” he grins. “And I don’t have a wife telling me I can’t do it.
“I’m very, very open-minded, and I have the best location for it. Wherever I am, there’s a party every day.”

Exclusive parties for VIPs
But entry isn’t as simple as knocking on the door. Eddie’s gatherings are strictly invite-only, spread through word of mouth, and reserved for what he calls “beautiful people.”
Inclusivity? Political correctness? Not exactly his priority.
“I’ve been organising parties since I was at school,” he recalls. “Snogging parties behind the bike sheds at 15 or 16. By 17, I was throwing big ones.”
Eddie begins my tour in the dimly lit ‘red room’ – his basement pleasure den.
“You lose track of time down here,” he explains. “We have alcoves with curtains – so if you want intimacy with your girlfriend, or multiple girlfriends, you can disappear inside.”
I attended one of his infamous parties last year, where I watched couples – and threesomes – slip behind the velvet drapes, often leaving them ajar so champagne-sipping onlookers could watch.
“People love nooks and crannies in these old Victorian mansions,” Eddie continues. “Some crave privacy, others get off on being watched. This room has no clocks – people come here to get lost in the moment.”
Despite the mansion’s grand, glamorous rooms, Eddie insists the smaller, more intimate spaces are where the real magic happens.

“I’ve had some very romantic moments in here,” he confesses, pulling back one of the red curtains. “I’ve met some stunning women in the middle of the night.
“People feel uninhibited. At least three couples have got married after meeting in this room.”

Lord Davenport
Eddie describes his events as “intimate, exclusive, hedonistic.” Some draw over 1,000 guests, while his most elite soirées are capped at just 12.
So how exactly do you score an invite?
“They’re private – invite only,” he explains. “I also have interests in other entertainment businesses – nightclubs, casinos. We meet people there, or someone might say, ‘This guy is fantastic – he’s got eight beautiful girls with him. You should meet him.’ It’s all word of mouth.”
Everything inside is strictly confidential – phones and inhibitions are left at the door.

Eddie also rents out his mansion to sex party companies like Killing Kittens and Bonnie Blue – and it was here that the pornstar broke a world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in a single day.
“The whole day was the craziest I’ve ever experienced,” Eddie says. “Men queued from the basement to the top floor in balaclavas. Some couldn’t perform after waiting hours – too much pressure.”
Eddie still keeps the now-infamous bed from that event as a “piece of artwork” and has been offered seven figures to sell it.
Bonnie Blue was absolutely incredible, she’s like a sportswoman
Lord Davenport
“Bonnie was absolutely incredible,” he continues. “She’s like a sportswoman. Incredible stamina and she didn’t even take a break.
“For 12 hours she only stopped briefly for an energy drink. And even when she’d slept with 1,000 there were another 57 waiting and she was like, ‘Okay, don’t worry we’ll just do them one by one.’
“I think the idea that she’s exploiting young guys by bonking them is absolutely ludicrous. I mean, I was a young guy once upon a time, and I would have loved to have slept with Bonnie Blue.”

So who is the man behind the headlines?
By his own admission, he’s a “womaniser” who’s never married – mainly to protect his vast wealth.
“Once you own a big house in central London, you know that if you marry, the authorities take half, your wife takes the other half, and you’re left with nothing,” he laughs. “So that’s one reason I stayed single. Plus, I’m a bit of a womaniser.”
I’m a bit of a womaniser, that’s why I’ve never married
Eddie Davenport
Over the years, he’s earned multiple nicknames, including Fast Eddie and Lord Fraud – after he was sentenced to eight years and seven months in prison for being the ‘ringmaster’ in a £4.5 million deception which involved a series of advance-fee fraud schemes.
“After the fraud case I started doing parties again and I was called the Wolf of the West End, which was kind of a term of endearment.
“And more recently, I’ve been called by The Sun newspaper, the Orgy Kingpin – which is definitely my favourite.”
Upstairs, in another grand room the walls are adorned with family portraits.
“This room is for the VIPs who can party very late,” he tells me. “Like after 4am. “People may come here and chat up a girl and then rush her to a bedroom or something. It’s very popular.”
Showing me the oil paintings of various family members, Eddie explains how partying is “his blood”.

“I’ve been in the party business forever,” he says. “I was throwing parties at 17. It’s in my blood. My family’s been in the alcohol business – breweries, distilleries, even Davenport Wines. My dad ran a fashionable restaurant in Chelsea.”
We reach the master bedroom in Eddie’s £15 million mansion.

“This is where the real party happens,” he winks, gesturing to an ornate four-poster bed. “You can fit a few girlfriends in there.”
I ask how many girlfriends he has. He simply smiles. “A gentleman never tells.”
So, does Fast Eddie show any signs of slowing down?
“Absolutely not,” he grins. “I plan to keep going. I want to beat any competition that comes along.
“I’ve always allowed my house to be used for parties – and I don’t have a wife telling me to stop.”
