One of London’s best kept secrets, what happens in 5 Hertford Street stays in 5 Hertford Street. Often seen as Annabel’s younger, cooler cousin, the club was opened 7 years ago by Robin Birley, son of Lady Annabel Goldsmith and the late Mark Birley the renowned members club chieftain who had a hefty club portfolio including old Annabel’s. Robin has taken his classy, charismatic and dazzling upbringing and used his connections to create a sanctuary for cool club-goers. The décor feels luxurious but lived in, with endless mementos, photos of family members and fireplaces in most rooms. The club is a rabbit warren of rooms in four adjoining townhouses within which are highly themed restaurants, private dining rooms where dogs are welcomed, a cigar room, three bars, a library, a drawing room, alcoves for bookworms and the famous late night watering hole LouLous, which is great for some Friday night fun. Be under no illusions, the crowd here is just as Sloaney as any members club you might find in Mayfair but remains a club where your grandparents will feel as comfortable spending their Sunday as you did spending the early hours of Saturday morning. Gallery-worthy works of art are on display around the club which are often specially curated and frequently changing.

A members club that you can visit without being a member. This is a different kind of club and it won’t disappoint. Annabel’s is opulent, loud, over the top and has recently under gone a multi-million pound overhaul –the beautiful queen of the members club scene. No membership collection is complete without an Annabel’s mention. If you have a disposable income and are willing to spend big at every visit then this is the club for you. Boasting no fewer than five restaurants – one in a garden terrace with London’s largest retractable roof – it also has a nightclub with daily shows from the likes of James Blunt, the Gipsy Kings and Jess Glynne. Even on your 100th visit to Annabel’s, you’ll find yourself staring at something you haven’t seen before. Leaving a good salary is hard, so I would advise starting a business as a side project. That allows you to see two things: if you like it and if your customer wants it. Being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone – there are stresses and strains. Sometimes people only see the upside and the glamour, not the decades of hard work. That said, while leaving a cushy job is difficult, quitting on a dream is even harder, so I would encourage you to follow your heart. You’ve also successfully set up two businesses now. What advice would you give to someone who has an idea but also has life responsibilities?Hiut is only ever going to make jeans because it has the knowledge, the skill and 40 years of learning behind it. We are confident on how to do one thing well and we have no ambition to do anything other than that. We’re a singular product company selling direct to the consumer and that product is super-high-premium-quality jeans. That's our complete and utter focus. Anything else is a distraction.

A Mayfair institution, and it’s easy to see why. Harry’s Bar membership also gains you access to its brother clubs George and Mark’s Club A standing desk is a proven way to aid concentration and focus. When you stand, blood flows significantly better, which is great for engaging your brain. By balancing on your feet, you also engage the core and muscles in the lower body. I use a standing desk at home and stand for most of the day. Once home to the Duke of Westminster, Bourdon House is now a one-stop shop for the modern gentleman. As the only detached house in Mayfair, this grade two listed Georgian building has, like Alfred Dunhill, long since represented grandeur and distinction in British heritage. The retail aspect of Bourdon House is set over three floors, catering to every modern gentleman’s need. The ground floor showcases Dunhill’s signature lines of ready-to-wear whilst the second floor hosts a unique spa waiting room called The “Discovery Room,” a spa replete with two treatment rooms, a traditional gentleman’s barber and an elegant museum curating pieces from the brand’s archives. In the basement is a private cinema, equipped with a state of the art British-made sound system, a cigar room, a games room, ‘dishonesty’ bar, courtyard for al fresco entertaining; private dining room, four bedrooms including a sumptuous suite recreating the original sleeping quarters of the Duke himself. In a unique upstairs conservatory, the dining room was a real charm in this property, with so much natural light and extensive views across the neighbourhood. The client wanted to maintain the charm but add the comforts of a modern entertaining space. We started by replacing the flooring with a Victorian patterned green tile and cleaning up the windows, which were rotting and damaged in many places. We created a modern bar at one end using new cabinetry and dark green tiles while the rest of the dining space received new custom furniture. An oversized (long but thin) dining table to fit at least 10 people was crucial for our client.

Authenticity, originality, and quite possibly the experience that comes with age – what this club has in spades cannot be replicated. Membership gets you access to one of the best rooftops in the city. There is also the legendary Vault bar housed in the original Midland Bank strongroom which stays open until you decide to leave. The staff, but also the beautiful heated terrace – ideal for people watching in Mayfair over limoncello. The Court has partnerships with brands such as The Foundry, Penhaligon’s and Bird + Wolf, meaning discounts for members. Join now and you’ll be one of the first inside what looks set to be a very popular club. Two swimming pools, one on the rooftop and one in the basement sets this club aside from many other London member’s clubs.
