    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.

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.
