Its entrance on Portman Square, with its stately columns (at Christmastime wrapped with festive greenery) and an imposing triangular pediment is a sight to behold. There is much to like about Marylebone’s Home House – which is a feast of 18th century grandeur.

Events are curated each week January is focusing on wellness with pilates, yoga and sound healing whereas previously there’s been a Christmas pub quiz hosted by Jack Whitehall and the wellness guru, Gabriela Peacock, hosted her book launch there (in the presence of royalty). Set over six floors, it’s a place you can work, dine or even party. With food by Tom Kerridge of the Michelin-starred Hand & Flowers in Marlow, you can expect seasonally-led food like Cornish crab and a vegetarian smoked king oyster mushroom masala. Arguably, it’s pièce de résistance is the 3rd floor terrace which offers up views over Hyde Park. And if you like the exterior, you’ll love the interior even more – since they’ve been done up by Russell Sage, the designer behind the celebrated Fife Arms and the latest place to go in Scotland, Glenmorangie House. Visually spectacular, it’s a cream, classical building topped with a grand balustrade and punctuated by Corinthian columns. Next door to the Mandarin Oriental and a stone’s throw from One Hyde Park in the beating heart of Knightsbridge, is the Pavilion. Here, Tatler picks the very best in London today. But what we do know is that the outdated private members’ club model has been well and truly turned on its head. Will they still be standing in another hundred years? Who knows. Younger members want to be able to network, drink cocktails and tap away on their keyboards – which these new clubs gladly cater for. Entrepreneurs and business leaders unite at these clubs that blur the lines between a working space (which was always banned in the traditional gentlemen's clubs) and a social hangout. They’re far more inclusive than their older counterparts and beautifully done-up, serving exquisite food and offering up a playground for contacts. However, they’ve now got some serious competition because a new wave of clubs have popped up all around town, redefining what it means to be part of an exclusive network. Others, like the Garrick in Covent Garden still refuse to permit entry through their gilded doors to women despite ongoing calls for reform (from inside and out). Thankfully, most of these clubs have today evolved from their archaic pasts, quite rightly allowing women to join too (for some, like the Carlton Club, this only happened as recently as 1998).
