A fascinating, exhaustive guide to London's private members' clubs - both old and new - and their culture.
In this comprehensive tour of London's clubs, every question you've ever had about Clubland will be answered by a consummate insider, grounded in a 'real world' perspective of how these secretive institutions are seen. By turns knowing and insightful, while also affectionately funny, Clubland offers an warts-and-all survey of private members' clubs, spanning the old, the new and, of course, the singularly eccentric traditions and quirks within them.Author Biography
