The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse is a London business club and flexible workspace operator with three sites: St James's Square, Grosvenor Hill in Mayfair, and St Andrew Street at Holborn Circus. It was founded in 2012 by Amanda Hamilton and positions itself as an alternative to holding a London office, providing lounges, meeting rooms, boardrooms, presentation rooms, event space, hot desks and dedicated desks, virtual office services and a deli, with wifi and refreshments included. Unlike the social clubs in this batch it sells membership by intensity of use rather than by age or social standing: an Executive tier for five days a month, a Club tier for ten days a month, and a House tier giving unlimited daily access, each priced at three contract lengths. The business entered administration in August 2019, and IWG plc, the owner of Regus and Spaces, acquired The Clubhouse London Ltd out of administration on 8 October 2019. Members now also get access to IWG's Spaces, Regus, Signature, Basepoint and HQ locations.

Come funziona

Members buy one of three usage tiers and book meeting rooms, boardrooms and presentation rooms with priority over non-members, host up to two guests, and use the Clublounge with complimentary refreshments, printing and scanning. Higher tiers add event invitations and unlimited access. There is no committee, sponsor or interview stage described; enquiries are made through a web form or by telephone.

Socio tipico

Business owners, executives and professionals who need a central London base for meetings and work between them, plus corporate accounts. The company names Deloitte, Amazon, Sky, Samsung, Santander and Tesla among its members.

The Clubhouse is a business club in the literal sense — it sells access to workspace and meeting rooms, not to a social set — and it is the only organisation in this batch that publishes monthly prices tied to contract length. That makes it directly comparable with serviced-office products rather than with Annabel's or the Groucho, and the corporate logo wall on its own site tells you the customer base is as much account-managed as elected. Two caveats matter. First, ownership: since October 2019 it has been part of IWG, so its trajectory is set by a listed flexible-workspace group rather than by a founder, and the Bank site it once ran no longer appears. Second, selection: there is no vetting worth the name, so anyone expecting the filtering function of a members' club will not find it here.
