"... a lavishly illustrated and wittily written study of one of the capital’s most distinctive – and most secretive – institutions." — House & Garden UK

"Jones treats them not really as clubs, but as examples of interior decoration, which he writes about interestingly and with an observant eye." — Charles Saumarez Smith

"From the concealed bookcase door in the library of The Travellers Club in St James’s to the taxidermy fish and walls lined with rods in Mayfair’s Flyfishers’ Club, it serves as an unofficial guide to the city’s strangest and most elegant private dining and drinking venues."— FT

"...wonderful book on the architecture and interiors of London’s private members’ spaces."— The Rake

London has more members’ clubs than any other city. There are clubs for everyone: from actors, plutocrats, aristocrats and bishops to sailors, soldiers, fishermen and spies, as well as journalists, jockeys, architects and æsthetes.
Andrew Jones opens the door to 46 of the most beautiful, interesting and unusual of these clubs, presenting 300 years of architecture and design. The London Club features the oldest clubs in London as well as the most recent, with perfectly preserved interiors, original furniture and extraordinary collections. From bohemian to bling, shabby to chic, classical and brutal, this is a celebration of variety and beauty, with newly commissioned photographs by Laura Hodgson.
“From the grandest to the simplest taking in the quirkiest en route, this book is an irresistible journey through London’s clubland.” - From the Foreword by Nina Campbell OBE

“Lavishly illustrated and wittily written.” — Marco Mansi, House & Garden
