Soho House

The original, with Houses worldwide

About

Soho House began at 40 Greek Street in 1995 and is still there. What you join today is less a house than a network: ten Houses across London, several with rooftop pools and gyms, and 48 in 19 countries.

None of the London Houses is in the north; Greek Street and Dean Street are the nearest to Hampstead. A cheaper membership covers a single House; the full one, Every House, opens all of them and Soho Farmhouse.

What sets it apart
  • Abroad above all: 48 Houses in 19 countries, the same club in Paris, New York, Mumbai or Rome
  • Pools and gyms in town: Shoreditch, White City, 180 Strand
  • Every House, the full membership, takes in Soho Farmhouse and every House abroad
  • The least exclusive here, by its own size
