Few clubs understand the concept of a ‘home away from home’ as well as the Fox Club. This is particularly true if your home happens to have nine bedrooms, two meeting rooms, a restaurant, a bar, and a prime Mayfair address.
Tucked away on Clarges Street, the Fox Club has a colourful history: it was once home to Mrs Armistead, a leading courtesan of the late 18th century, who later married the renowned statesman, politician and, above all, womaniser, Charles James Fox.
Intriguing history and contemporary class gives the Fox Club the perfect balance for a London members’ club. With staggered levels of membership, payment ranges from £350 for basic bar membership up to £1,800 for five-member corporate membership. Every member benefits from full use of the club, no service charge on food or beverages, discounted venue fees and use of wifi-enabled venue spaces. If you take out the £500 Club Membership, then you’ll also be privy to reduced room rates on the club’s hotel rooms, plus priority booking.
You’ll be rubbing shoulders with fellow members who include Christopher Lee, Sir Bob Geldof and Uma Thurman. Of course, speaking as a man, if you do have to rub shoulders – or anything else – with anyone, it would preferably be the latter of the three.
I’ll leave you with the thoughts of esteemed travel writer Sally Shalam of the Guardian: “If I was having an affair, well, I'd probably have it here.” Pucker up!
Fox Club is offering to waive the joining fee for any square mile readers joining who sign up before the end of March. Please contact Bethan:
