Groucho Club, Private members club in Soho, London, United Kingdom
The Groucho Club is a private members establishment in Soho with multiple bars, dining areas, and guest rooms spread across a building on Dean Street. The space also contains event rooms and work areas that accommodate members and their guests throughout the day and evening.
The club was established in 1985 as a social space for professionals in publishing, film, and media industries. Over the decades, it evolved and became an important meeting point for London's creative sector.
The building displays contemporary artworks that reflect the creative character of the space. The rooms function as a social meeting point for people from media, publishing, and the arts, where these industries naturally encounter each other in daily interaction.
Access is limited to members and their guests. New members need recommendations from two current members, and the club generally welcomes people working in creative and artistic fields.
The name references Groucho Marx's famous statement about clubs willing to accept him as a member. This reference reflects the intentionally humorous and ironic tone the place has maintained since opening.
