Around since the 1600s, London’s Members’ Clubs were once the bastion of the elite, before transforming into places exclusive to professional, political and artistic types to network and mingle in surroundings characterised by old-school charm. A vital part of London’s social fabric, membership is highly sought after by anyone seeking to stay connected. They're also a place to take some personal time to relax and wind down, far from the clamour of everyday life. Expect late night revelry, colourful characters and no small amount of tantalising gossip! Here, we’re going to take a look at some of the capital’s most popular and fashionable clubs…
Mayfair’s Savile Club dates all the way back to 1868. Established by a group of artists and writers, it boasts Rudyard Kipling, WB Yeats and Thomas Hardy as previous members and continues to this day to be frequented by a range of illustrious authors. Situated in an elegant 18th century building, the club comes complete with a magnificent ballroom, a library, roof-terrace and snooker room. In many ways, this remains the definitive private club, encompassing all the traditions and luxuries associated with a particular type of London lifestyle. Classy and fashionable, Savile’s continues to set the tone.
Camden has always been one of the city’s most dynamic and stylish boroughs, and The House of KOKO is the coolest club on the block. Set over multiple floors, there’s an expansive cocktail bar, a huge roof-terrace and a series of intimate ‘Vinyl Rooms’. There’s also Ellen’s, a jazz and blues bar that showcases a regular line-up of first-class musical acts, plus a supper club, a Sunday family lunch and a games night. Easy going workspaces and exceptional food ensure members enjoy a five-star experience that also includes private DJ sets, film screenings and poetry nights. Eclectic and intriguing, The House of KOKO is the real deal.
