The Walbrook Club
A family-run City of London private members’ club, The Walbrook Club is a stone’s throw away from the Bank of England. The lavish club’s decor was designed by the late Mark Birley of the prestigious Mark’s Club, Harry’s Bar and Annabel’s. However, being family-run, each piece of furniture and artwork has been chosen with care by the owners to create a relaxed atmosphere – think private townhouse. That being said, you’ll be encouraged to dress up rather than down. You won’t be able to avoid the club’s restaurant where you can treat yourself to a delicious plate from legendary Albert Roux of Le Gavroche. The self-proclaimed provocator of discreet elegance, The Walbrook Club is a modern take on extravagance.
