Soho House
The one that started the modern members club movement. Still the most useful for creative professionals. The rooftop pool in summer remains unbeatable.
Best for: Creative professionals, media, entertainment
The Arts Club
Mayfair institution with one of London's finest restaurant spaces. The membership skews older and more established than Soho House. Worth it if you work in the arts or finance.
Best for: Arts professionals, established careers
Home House
Portman Square Georgian townhouse that is arguably the most beautiful club building in London. The events programme is the best of any London club.
Best for: Networking, events, beautiful interiors
The Hospital Club
Covent Garden media and creative industries club. The recording studios and screening rooms make it genuinely useful for people who work in those fields.
Best for: Media professionals, screenings, recording
Blacks
Soho's bohemian answer to the traditional members club. Dean Street townhouse, no dress code, membership by recommendation only.
Best for: Writers, artists, bohemians
