Clubs like Soho House have redefined what it means to be a private members’ club in London — blending culture, creativity, and comfort into stylish sanctuaries for the modern tastemaker. But Soho House is no longer the only name in the game. Across the city, a new generation of exclusive clubs is rising — each with its own identity, aesthetic, and tribe. Whether you’re looking for rooftop pools and artistic lounges, or wellness spaces and Michelin-level dining, London now offers a wealth of private venues rivalling Soho House in style and substance.
Shoreditch House

Shoreditch House is the East London outpost of the Soho House empire, and in many ways, it embodies the brand’s original ethos more intimately than any other. Housed in a converted biscuit factory near Brick Lane, this members’ club is the beating heart of London’s creative scene — where artists, designers, media types and entrepreneurs gather to work, network and live genuinely.
The rooftop is the main draw: a heated pool with sweeping city views, framed by striped loungers and buzzing with energy even in winter. The interiors are industrial-chic with a retro twist, filled with vintage leather sofas, concrete walls, and just the right amount of intentional scuff. There’s a gym and Cowshed spa, a screening room, a lounge with communal workspaces, and House Kitchen serving up globally inspired comfort food (their spicy margarita and truffle chicken burger are cult favourites).
If Annabel’s is luxury-meets-the-aristocracy, Shoreditch House is where you go for casual cool and curated creativity. The vibe is intimate yet inclusive — a younger, edgier cousin to the Mayfair scene, which is why it’s often considered the quintessential Soho House experience.

The Arts Club

Tucked away on Dover Street in Mayfair, The Arts Club is a masterclass in timeless elegance and cultural prestige. Founded in 1863 by literary greats like Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, the club has always been a sanctuary for those in the creative and intellectual elite. Its modern reinvention, spearheaded by restaurateur Arjun Waney and developer Gary Landesberg, has made it one of London’s most refined yet progressive members’ clubs.
Inside, you’re met with a polished environment of marble floors, velvet armchairs, and a rotating display of contemporary art. Members can dine at the club’s elegant brasserie-style restaurant, enjoy cocktails at the chic bar, or escape to the rooftop garden for alfresco drinks and skyline views. There’s also a music lounge, private event spaces, and a wellness floor featuring a gym and hammam.
The Arts Club mirrors Soho House in offering creative professionals a social hub with aesthetic flair. Still, the atmosphere is more grown-up — a space for networking over Negronis rather than poolside lounging. It’s tailored to those who have evolved from Shoreditch loft parties into curated art openings and investment conversations.

Pavilion

Pavilion is what happens when private members’ clubs evolve to meet the lifestyle of today’s high-achieving professionals. With locations in Knightsbridge, Kensington, and most recently in the City of London, Pavilion combines elegant design with tailored business amenities. This blend puts it in the same league as Soho House, but with a sharper, more corporate focus.
The Knightsbridge flagship feels like a high-spec boutique hotel: floor-to-ceiling windows flood the lounge with natural light, interiors are layered with rich textures, and the rooftop terrace is a true hidden gem, offering views over Hyde Park. But what sets Pavilion apart is its fusion of workspace and leisure. Think private offices, soundproof booths, concierge services, and a fine-dining restaurant — all under one roof.
Membership isn’t just about networking over espresso martinis (though the bar is well-stocked with small-batch spirits); it’s about being in an environment designed for productivity, privacy, and refinement. While Soho House attracts creatives and trendsetters, Pavilion speaks to entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators — those who still value style but need substance behind it.

Address: 27 Lane Bush, London, EC4R OAA
The Conduit

The Conduit is unlike any other members’ club in London — and that’s precisely the point. Originally launched in Mayfair in 2018 and now thriving in Covent Garden, this club is built around a mission: to bring together changemakers, innovators, and thought leaders who are actively shaping a better world. If Soho House is for creatives and Pavilion is for entrepreneurs, The Conduit is where impact meets style.
The space is beautifully designed — warm woods, recycled materials, and a layout encouraging meaningful conversation. There are event rooms, lounges, and quiet corners for working. Still, the real magic happens in the programming: panel talks with Nobel laureates, sustainability forums, and art exhibitions that challenge the status quo. The rooftop restaurant, helmed by Head Chef Brendan Eades (formerly of the zero-waste pioneer Silo), serves ethical dishes like celeriac schnitzel and line-caught Cornish fish — always seasonal, always thoughtful.
What makes The Conduit comparable to Soho House is the effortless blend of lifestyle and community, but here, the focus is on ethical luxury and progressive values. You come for the atmosphere, stay for the mission, and leave feeling part of something bigger.

The Ned

Walking into The Ned feels like entering a cathedral of cool. It is housed in a former Midland Bank building just steps from Bank station. This sprawling venture redefines what a private members’ club can be. Designed by Nick Jones and the Soho House team, The Ned merges old-school grandeur with modern lifestyle perks — all under one jaw-dropping Edwardian roof.
The main floor is a spectacle. It has eight buzzing restaurants, live jazz echoing through the vast former banking hall, and polished marble floors lit by art deco chandeliers. But the absolute exclusivity lies upstairs, in Ned’s Club. Members can access a rooftop pool and bar with skyline views, a sleek spa and gym, and private areas like the Library and the Vault bar — built inside the original bank’s fortified basement, complete with safety deposit boxes lining the walls.
The Ned echoes the Soho House DNA with its laid-back luxury, wellness offering, and cultural calendar, but it’s a step up in scale and elegance. If Soho House is where creatives unwind, The Ned is where they go once they’ve made it. Think: high design, curated experiences, and a membership that means serious business.

1 Warwick

Nestled in a beautifully restored 1910 Neo-Baroque building on Warwick Street, 1 Warwick brings a new kind of intimacy and intelligence to Soho’s club scene. Opened in 2023 by Maslow’s — the team behind Mortimer House — this members’ club combines the creative energy of Soho House with a deeper focus on collaboration, wellness, and elevated hospitality.
From the moment you step inside, 1 Warwick feels quietly luxurious. The interiors are warm and characterful, with mid-century touches, curated artwork, and softly lit lounges perfect for work and socialising. Across five floors, members can access cosy meeting rooms, a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views, wellness studios, and a modern gym. The club’s restaurant, Nth Floor, is a standout. It is a Mediterranean-inspired brasserie led by former Spring and River Café chefs. The restaurant serves seasonal dishes like grilled octopus with fennel or saffron risotto.
Combining design-led spaces and a well-connected creative community makes 1 Warwick comparable to Soho House. However, it dials down the scene-y energy in favour of meaningful interaction. It’s Soho for grown-ups: stylish, serene, and just under the radar enough to feel like a secret.

Address: 1 Warwick Street, London W1B 5LR
George

Tucked away on Mount Street in Mayfair, George is a private members’ club that balances classic British refinement with contemporary flair. The club was founded in 2001 by Robin Birley (the name behind 5 Hertford Street). It underwent a stunning redesign in 2023, spearheaded by Paris-based interior designer Tino Zervudachi. The result is a space that feels luxurious but lived-in. It is all soft leather banquettes, rich textures, and gallery-worthy art, including original works by Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach.
George’s atmosphere is quietly elegant, with a discreet but distinctly cosmopolitan crowd. That’s the kind of place where international entrepreneurs and Mayfair locals rub shoulders over caviar-topped oysters and a glass of Puligny-Montrachet. Executive Chef Marcus Eaves (ex-Oblix and Pied à Terre) oversees the restaurant. It serves modern European cuisine with standout dishes like wild mushroom pithivier and Dover sole meunière.
In many ways, George is a more intimate alternative to Soho House — less bohemian, more bespoke. There’s no pool or rooftop, but it offers a timeless sanctuary defined by culture, conversation, and exceptional taste. It’s where you go not to be seen, but to belong.

The House of KOKO

The House of KOKO is what happens when a legendary music venue gets an ultra-luxury, members-only upgrade. Tucked inside the iconic KOKO theatre in Camden, this members’ club is a thrilling blend of rock ‘n’ roll history and modern hedonism. It opened in 2022 after a £70 million renovation. The club offers four floors of theatrical splendour — part creative hub, part private club, and part immersive cultural playground.
Inside, it’s pure drama. Maximalist interiors, red velvet sofas, vintage chandeliers, and hidden passageways that lead from rooftop bars to recording studios. There’s a speakeasy-style jazz lounge, a piano room, a cocktail terrace overlooking Camden, a performance space for secret gigs, and a curated vinyl library. It’s all anchored in music, with a side of champagne.
The House of KOKO is like Soho House’s wild, arty cousin. It has the same lifestyle DNA — plush lounges, creative crowd, curated events — but it’s deeply rooted in performance and culture. If Soho House is your chic weekday home-from-home, KOKO is your decadent after-dark escape. It’s where Bowie would’ve hung out after a show — and probably still would.

Gleneagles Townhouse

Set in a grand 18th-century former bank in Edinburgh’s St Andrew Square, Gleneagles Townhouse is the city spin-off of the iconic Gleneagles estate. It brings the same sense of heritage, service, and opulence with a distinctly urban twist. Opened in 2022, this private members’ club and boutique hotel hybrid offers a fresh, design-forward sanctuary for the culturally savvy, combining old-school glamour with contemporary edge.
The interiors are jaw-droppingly elegant. Find soaring ceilings, original columns, and restored mosaic floors that contrast beautifully with mid-century furniture, bold artwork, and plush textures. Members gain access to “The Townhouse” club and a series of intimate lounges. There’s also a rooftop bar called Lamplighters with unbeatable views over Edinburgh’s skyline. The Strong Rooms, a holistic wellness space, comes with cryotherapy, infrared saunas, and a fully kitted-out gym.
While Soho House is often grounded in casual, buzzy charm, Gleneagles Townhouse takes a more serene, curated approach. It’s luxurious, but with heart, history, and a sense of place. It draws in creatives, thinkers, and entrepreneurs alike. It is for people who appreciate tradition, but want it paired with avant-garde cocktails and velvet armchairs. It’s Soho House with a Highland soul.

What a journey this guy’s been on. I had the chance to sit down with Chef Sameer Taneja, the executive chef at Benares in Berkeley Square. You’d expect a Michelin-starred chef with his CV to be all puffed up with self-importance, but not Sameer. He’s not the type to humble brag with his hand earnestly resting on his chest, telling you ‘how grateful and humbled’ he is in that way that makes you cringe. No, […]
