London’s exclusive members’ clubs are welcoming you in – and you don’t even have to join. Sara Turner reports.
Holding meetings in the usual business environments can get a little dull. If you have a client you really want to impress, you should consider booking space in one of London’s private members’ clubs. Many of these are recognising the benefits of getting into the events market and allowing non-members to pay for a discreet meeting room and catering. With advanced technology, top-class service and relaxed dress codes, clubs can compete with mainstream corporate spaces but have that added air of individuality. From neoclassical to post-modern, there’s something to suit all tastes – whether it’s executive boardrooms, presentation suites or conference spaces. New on the scene are Paramount and One Alfred Place, while Eight and Home House are expanding their offerings. Old favourites the Hospital Club, Morton’s and Adam Street continue to offer an alternative to conventional meeting locations.
