Clementine's — Private Members' Club
Doors open in —
What actually happens
You do not need to know anyone, and you do not need a plan. That is the whole point.
You arrive
Someone on the door has your name. You are walked in, not left to hover — and you will not be the first person there.
You are introduced
Two or three people, chosen because you have something to talk about. Nobody is left standing on their own.
It ends
The night finishes when it finishes. Anyone you would like to see again, you tell us quietly afterwards.
What's on
Where the club meets
Clementine's has no permanent address, and does not want one. We keep an arrangement with a handful of rooms and move between them.
The Little Fox
Shoreditch
Snug back-room pub, board games behind the bar
Bar Cachette
Soho
Tiny cava bar tucked in a courtyard
Marigold & Vine
Clerkenwell
Small-plates spot with a chatty open kitchen
The Brass Compass
London Bridge
Coaching-inn pub, the river a minute away
Velvet Negroni
Soho
Basement cocktail den, red velvet and low jazz
The Wren & Anchor
City of London
After-work pints under the newspaper ghosts
Joining takes two minutes
The club is small on purpose and the rooms are kept balanced, so places for each Thursday are limited. Everything else is straightforward.
Join
A real name, a current photograph, and a sentence about what you do. About two minutes.
A person reads it
Not an algorithm. We keep the rooms balanced and the numbers small.
Come on Thursday
You will have a place at the next club night. Membership starts the evening you walk in.
Come on Thursday
The next club night is Venice Biennale Long Weekend at Giardini della Biennale.
