List of London's gentlemen's clubs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See Gentlemen's club (traditional) for an explanation of this particular sort of club. The boundaries of this type of club are not entirely clear cut (it is certainly no longer the case that only clubs for men only are eligible, as some of the longest established now admit women) but in any case clubs should only be included if they have a club house and exist primarily to provide services to their members, rather than to profit from hiring out facilities commercially.
