Annabel's

Annabel's is a private members' club at 46 Berkeley Square in Mayfair, London, opened in 1963 by Mark Birley in the basement of number 44 and named after his then wife. Richard Caring bought it in 2007 as part of a £95 million purchase that also took in Mark's Club, Harry's Bar, George and the Bath & Racquets Club; the group trades as Birley Clubs and the operating company is 46 Berkeley Square Ltd. The club closed at number 44 in February 2018 and reopened later that year in the adjoining Grade I-listed Georgian townhouse at number 46 after a refurbishment reported at £55 million, taking it to more than 26,000 square feet across four restaurants, seven bars, a cigar salon, private dining rooms and a basement nightclub. Membership is by application through the Birley Clubs portal. The club publishes no rate card of its own; subscription and joining figures in circulation come from press reporting. A New York outpost has been announced but had not opened as at September 2026.

运作方式

Members and their guests use a single Mayfair clubhouse running from daytime dining into a late-night basement club. Applications are made through an online form on the Birley Clubs membership portal; Spear's reports that applicants supply a recent headshot, proof of age and a letter of recommendation from an existing Birley club member setting out how long and in what capacity they have known the applicant. Subscriptions are annual, with separate rates by age band.

典型会员

Reported as a socially prominent, international Mayfair membership. Wikipedia records that since the 2018 relocation membership has been allocated equally between men and women, and that 100 inheritable "Legacy" lifetime memberships exist, a quarter of them held by US residents.

Annabel's is a social and nightlife club rather than a business one: there is no workspace, no professional criterion and no published programme of member events aimed at work. Its opacity is the main research problem — the club's public website is a few pages and a link to an application portal, so every fee figure here is journalism rather than a rate card, and reported figures have drifted upwards (Spear's put the full subscription at £3,250 plus £1,750 to join in 2023 and at £3,750 plus £1,850 in January 2026). The waiting-list numbers most often quoted trace back to 2018 reporting and should not be read as current. Anyone weighing it against The Arts Club or 5 Hertford Street should note that Annabel's is the most expensive of the three on reported prices and the least forthcoming about how it selects.
