    Sounds amazing. How are they not inundated with people joining just to use it for this purpose? I would.

    No, but I'm sure you can manage with the keyhole.

    Kudos for that - Could come in handy if I ever move out of London

    Another similar possibility is the ESU (English Speaking Union) in Mayfair (Charles Street, off Berkeley Square)

    Open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, and annual membership again about £80 per annum (less in certain categories such as old timers).

    In the 60s they used to have rooms upstairs where people could stay, like a hotel, but I think those have long gone. There's still a restaurant though, and of course loads of sandwich bars and suchlike in the vicinity.

    The snag is few central London clubs have their own car parking facilities these days.

    Yes, not before 12pm. I also use the rooms as a meeting place for clients, terrific atmosphere and quiet given the location. Although I have the PCG offices available to me I find the colour grey not to be my kind of business.

    And of course if you're ever up in Edinburgh you have access to the society's town house with unique room/s on every floor.

    Wow that's great! Exactly what's needed! But they are 4 days a month only, right?
    Any other ideas in case I'd exceed 4 days?
