The South Kensington Club is one of the most unique and innovative private members clubs in London. Located on the exclusive Harrington Road near to the South Kensington underground station, this members club is set in a Georgian townhouse and was home once to Ronnie Wood’s Harrington Club. There is an overriding theme of health and wellbeing, and members get access to a spa, gym and many other health related resources including yoga classes and massage sessions.
There is ample space for business meetings and a variety of different rooms in the club, some of which are quiet and suited for important business discussions, as well as a huge social aspect of the club with a newly designed bar and a superb restaurant.
For one of the most lavish dining experiences you and your client will ever have, book at Aqua Nueva, where the highly rated restaurant doesn’t just serve spectacular foods, but spectacular views to go with it from their stunning rooftop terrace. It’s not hard to see why it is one of the best places to take clients in London.
Their menu, influenced by Spanish small plates, is one of the most appealing menus in the city, with food ranging from tuna empanadas to poached ducks eggs, there is something to please everyone here, so your client can pick a few of their favorite dishes, and tuck in! Everything about this restaurant screams luxury, and is the perfect spot for a client who wants to experience the best that London has to offer.
The Box, a hotspot for celebrity sightings in Soho is the self proclaimed ‘Theatre of Variety’, and an iconic spot which pushes the boundaries of cabaret and shows the more promiscuous, twisted side of London. This exclusive Soho members club is definitely one of the best places to take clients in London. Set up as a 19th century theatre the art deco furnishing and extravagant live shows make it the perfect place to take the client who likes to think outside ‘The Box’.
The sister to the club of the same name in Manhattan, it had a reputation to uphold from the minute it opened its doors, to create an entertainment that will be unforgettable and see how far they can push themselves.
A place that is to be seen to be believed, found in the corners of Soho, The Box is a sure to impress venue, with a decadent drinks menu, food served until late at night, and a cabaret of quirky until 3AM. Just remember to dress up in your best glamour and reserve your place beforehand!
Blacks Members Club Soho, is one of the oldest Private Members Clubs in London, built in 1732 by the apprentice of Christopher Wren, Blacks is rich with British Culture whilst still upholding the exclusivity it has always displayed, acting as a refuge from the outside world. Brought back to London in 2014 by current owner Ben Goldman, the Georgian Heritage is still prominent throughout the Private Members Club.
It features a highly acclaimed restaurant and different floors with various bar and lounge areas. For an escape from living the busy London Lifestyle, Blacks Club is certainly the ideal private Members Club, providing space for members to relax and unwind and indeed carry out client meetings in a luxurious setting.
The club Reign, located next to Piccadilly Circus station, has made itself a huge name on the London high end club scene, and it’s not hard to see why. Offering shows containing everything from fire-breathers to acrobatics, the club does everything it can to preserve that vintage circus feel and make their customers forget where they actually are.
A definite must see and one of the best places to take clients in London for something a bit more special. Self proclaimed as a mix of ‘Las Vegas and Moulin Rouge’, the club takes acrobatics and makes it look effortlessly sexy and exciting. But this comes as no surprise when you find out the creators are those also behind Cirque le Soir. This staple venue is a must attend show for anyone looking to impress, just remember, ladies in heels and gents in smart shoes.
The Curtain Members Club, is home to both a private members club and hotel and is master of combining eccentric design with functional spaces perfectly suited for client meetings near the City of London. Each space offered by the Club integrates its ethos of creativity from the traffic light walls in the restaurant bathrooms to the mounted stag heads wearing blindfolds in the lobby. Members are not be short of creativity and a good time when at the Club. The Curtain club London is however, incredibly exclusive with its waiting list of more than 3,000 people and it comes as no surprise to us that this quirky members club is thriving in the creative Capital of London, Shoreditch.
Many of the rooms at The Curtain are dedicated to meetings and work spaces, all of which offer privacy and quiet for important meetings with clients.
Members of The Curtain also have access to three different restaurants including Imperial, Red Rooster and the famous Rooftop restaurant LIDO. LIDO restaurant and pool is Moroccan-inspired and with its retractable glass roof, both members and hotel guests can bask in the sunshine in summer as well as watch the sun set on the city skyline in the evenings. Its open day-to-night serving fresh and seasonal dishes alongside a superb wine list.
Cahoots bar is a must for anyone with a love for anything vintage and is one of the best places to take clients in London if you’re looking to impress them with somewhere both intimate and fabulously unique. Inspired by the 1940’s, it makes you forget that you are actually in modern day Soho. And if a 40’s themed bar still isn’t special enough for you, this one is disguised as a tube station, and the theme continues once you enter the platform, to an underground vintage tube ride.
The decor is all themed accordingly, with tube seats, and suitcase tables, and vintage galore adoring this disused underground station. Our recommendation is to take your client on a Saturday, were they offer their Squiffy Picnic, with the poison of your choice and a picnic basket brimming with uniquely British treats. If that wasn’t enough, every Saturday they provide a classic British music experience, with swing music and war era themed costuming and sounds. This is the ideal unique place to take a client to show them what being British really is.
From the creators who brought you Cahoot’s, comes Bart’s, another period themed staple of the city which is one of the best places to take clients in London. Their motto, ‘speakeasy, drink hard’. Set in the 1920’s as a prohibition style bar set up American gangsters, the bar well and truly commits to its theme. Nestled in Sloane Avenue secretly hidden as a block of apartments, to keep the cops from raiding the place a password is required on entry (P.S. don’t worry, if you book with us, we’ll make sure you know it!). With their menu intricately designed as a comic book, it shows off their collection of signature cocktails, which comes with a hefty price tag, but pack a punch and are well worth it!
If the sharers aren’t your thing, you could go for one of their many exquisitely designed individual cocktails, of which you have plenty to choose from. However, if you don’t want to step out of your comfort zone too much, they offer a full selection of all the classic cocktails, from Bloody Mary’s to Cosmos.
If you’re a bit peckish, they also offer an intimate but delicious selection of Japanese food. Now, if for some reason you still don’t think this is enough for your client, you could take them to their weekly Criminali-Tea event on Saturday. This weekly event, disguised as an adventure of secret messaged to sneak in and avoid the cops, is the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and once you make it in, you are rewarded with their illicit liquors and a selection of their teapots with a twist and classic snacks.
But they warn you, the cops are always on the lookout, so be prepared for a raid!
For something that can be the best of both worlds, look no further than Sketch. During the day it is a top Victorian themed townhouse which is one of the city’s best tea rooms, and by the evening you enter a decadent cocktail venue, so whatever you client wants, this place can offer it. Opened by an award winning figure of the bar scene and a Michelin star chef, this venue offers the elegant, upper scale location that is perfect to show off to a client. With 5 different rooms, you can come here for an exquisite breakfast, a standout brunch or an unforgettable evening meal.
The Gallery, boasting daily afternoon tea, and evening meals served up until 2am every day except Sundays, is the perfect venue to show off the avant garde side of London.
The decor, following a baby pink theme, looks like something straight out of a Wes Anderson movie, and is sure to impress any guest, and to top it all off, and showing its namesake, the walls are adorned as a gallery of elegant art by British artist David Shrigley, which have just been replaced this January, guaranteed to catch the eye of any avid fan of the arts.
The Lecture Room, a perfect spot for a your avid diner offers an exquisite michelin starred dining experience, the Parlour, their late night cocktail bar with a resident DJ, The Glade, a woodland wonderland themed late night bar, or, or the East Bar, their lounge bar with a DJ which revolves around the theme of modern art, there is something for every kind of client here.
For a client looking for more of drinks, dinner and a show, consider booking at Bunga Bunga, in Covent Garden. With each day having a different kind of show, from musical theatre, burlesque, to variety shows, any fan of theatre and Italian food will have no problem having fun in this venue. It’s easy to see why it is one of the best places to take clients in London. And it doesn’t just stop there, you can have your dinner and a show then stay for their late night cocktail nights, with DJ’s playing until 2:30.
To make things a bit more convenient, when you buy your tickets to any show, the price of your dinner is also included in your ticket! Even if you just want to take your client for drinks, they will be spoiled for choice by their decadent cocktail and drinks menu, but don’t just take our word for it, try if for yourself!
Sea Containers, located on the South Bank, is the perfect venue for dining at any time of the day, from breakfast, to brunch to evening dinner, this place has it all. You can also get fantastic views from this restaurant, which overlooks the Thames river with a riverside terrace to enjoy their locally produced gourmet dining with a view.
One of the best dining experiences they have to offer is their brunch menu, where you can buy bottomless Bloody Mary’s, Mimosas, or Bellini’s to go with your unique choices of brunch, for a business dining experience at a restaurant your client will never forget. To top it all off, we suggest trying one of their hard shakes, a milkshake with a twist, or more accurately, a shot. A definite must see and one of the best places to take clients in London.
