Description
A fascinating, exhaustive guide to London's private members' clubs - both old and new - and their culture.
Uncover the hidden world of London's private members' clubs. This guide, by the leading historian on the subject, provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner worlds of these legendary institutions - from aristocratic haunts like Boodle's and Brooks's, to modern icons like Soho House and the Groucho Club.
Exploring the culture, history and traditions of these enigmatic locations, London Clubland is the ultimate almanac to this world, from navigating the application process to the unwritten rules that define these spaces - not to mention a wealth of trivia and entertaining anecdotes assembled over twenty years. Discover mottos, maps, songs and club recipes, as well as little-known facts that some of London's most iconic clubs probably wouldn't want you to know.
Whether you are a long-standing member, a reciprocal visitor, an aspiring applicant or simply curious about this secretive world, step into a revealing tour of some of London's most discreet institutions.
