London Clubland

A cheerfully eccentric introduction to London clubland… Thévoz makes a persuasive case as to why you should join one * Sunday Times *An exuberant, suave, and discreetly indiscreet user’s guide to clubland. The perfect companion to his clubland history Behind Closed Doors (2022), it tells you everything you need to know…This is not trivia. It is social history. * Washington Examiner *If you have ever wanted to know what goes on behind the doors of London’s clubs, then this is your chance. What could be a rather dry book looking at histories, joining procedures and facilities actually turns out to be enormously good fun, rather like a Schott’s Miscellany of clubs. – Henry Jeffreys * Drinking Culture *
