The London Club: Architecture, Interiors, Art is an elegant and revealing journey into one of London’s most intriguing and least understood worlds. Published by ACC Art Books, this beautifully crafted volume opens doors that are usually closed, inviting readers inside the capital’s private members’ clubs to discover extraordinary spaces shaped by centuries of culture, creativity and social life.
London is home to more private clubs than any other city in the world, and within them lies an astonishing range of architectural styles and interior design. From grand Palladian rooms and richly layered Victorian interiors to daring contemporary spaces filled with modern art, the book captures how these clubs reflect both their eras and the personalities that inhabit them. Each chapter reveals a different atmosphere, showing how tradition and innovation coexist behind discreet façades scattered across the city.
Written with insight and warmth, the text brings together history, design and social context, while the photography immerses the reader in details that might otherwise go unnoticed: the patina of worn leather, the glow of panelled libraries, the quiet drama of staircases and dining rooms designed for conversation and contemplation. The result is an intimate portrait of places that have shaped political debate, artistic movements and social change, all while maintaining a sense of mystery and exclusivity.
More than a book about clubs, The London Club is a celebration of interiors as living spaces, constantly evolving while remaining rooted in heritage. It will captivate lovers of architecture, interior design and London history alike, offering inspiration, escapism and a rare glimpse into some of the city’s most fascinating environments. This is a book to savour slowly, returning to again and again, much like the clubs themselves.
