London members’ club fees usually come in two parts: a one-off joining fee and an annual subscription. As of October 2026, the published annual subscriptions at the clubs we checked ranged from a few hundred pounds for limited-access tiers to more than £4,000 for the most comprehensive options. Joining fees ran from £250 to a reported £6,000 at the Royal Automobile Club. Food, drink and bedrooms cost extra, and several of the best-known clubs do not publish their prices at all. This guide sets out what clubs and reputable outlets have published, and what else to budget for.
How London members’ club fees are structured
Most clubs build their pricing from the same parts:
- Joining fee: a one-off charge when you are accepted. Some clubs give it another name; Country & Town House described The Arts Club’s as a “member assessment fee”.
- Annual subscription: the yearly charge for access. Some clubs let you pay it monthly.
- Age bands: cheaper rates for younger members, often cut off at 27, 30, 33 or 35.
- Other categories: joint memberships for couples, overseas memberships for people who live abroad, and limited-access tiers that cover fewer hours or facilities.

Fees reported by the press
For some well-known clubs, the most recent figures come from press reports rather than the clubs themselves. Treat these as a guide, and confirm the current price with the club.
Annabel’s, Mayfair
Spear’s and Country & Town House both reported in January 2026 that full membership cost £3,750 a year plus a £1,850 joining fee. Spear’s also reported an under-35 option at £2,250 a year plus a £600 joining fee.
The Arts Club, Mayfair
Both publications reported annual membership at £3,200 plus a one-off £1,600 fee. Spear’s said a young person’s membership for applicants under 33 cost £1,500 a year plus £500.
Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall
City AM reported in July 2026 that the club charges a £6,000 joining fee on top of annual membership. It also said membership is capped at 17,000 paid-up members and that the waiting list had passed 1,200. The club’s main membership page links to its 2026 fees but does not show the annual rates itself.
The Pembroke, Belgravia
This large new club at Grosvenor Place is due to open in autumn 2026, but reports of its pricing have not agreed. In June 2026 Country & Town House reported pre-launch fees of £2,750 a year plus a £1,000 joining fee for most applicants, and £1,500 plus £500 for under-30s. Earlier in the year, LBC reported that membership would start at £3,250. Anyone interested should ask the club directly.
Clubs that do not publish prices
Plenty of clubs keep their fees off the public page. Soho House’s membership page explains its categories, including Every House, Local House and a cheaper rate for members who join under 27, but sends applicants to a separate pricing tool rather than listing figures. Spear’s January 2026 ranking gave no fees for Mayfair clubs such as Oswald’s and Maison Estelle. In cases like these, the only reliable figure is the one the club gives you during the application.
Other costs to budget for
- Food and drink. Subscriptions cover access, not your bill. As City AM has noted, clubs earn money from restaurants, bars, events and private hire as well as from membership fees.
- Bedrooms and extras. Rooms are usually charged separately. Soho House, for example, offers members its best rates on bedrooms rather than free stays.
- Paying monthly. This can cost more over a year. At the published rates, 12 monthly payments for full membership at The Sloane Club come to £4,020, against £3,850 paid upfront. At The House of KOKO, the over-35 monthly rate adds up to £2,700, compared with £2,450 a year.
- Age-band changes. Younger members’ discounts end at a set birthday, and the higher rate applies from the next renewal.
- Annual increases. Clubs face the same wage, energy and tax pressures as the rest of hospitality, which saw nearly 300 pubs close in 2024, so expect subscriptions to be reviewed at renewal.
Is a members’ club worth the money?
A simple test is the cost per visit. If you pay £2,450 a year and go twice a month, each of your 24 visits costs about £102 in subscription alone, before a single drink. Go weekly and the figure roughly halves. City AM described one member of a historic St James’s club who, dividing his fees by his infrequent visits, worked out that he was paying several hundred pounds each time he went. The clubs that represent best value tend to be the ones close to home or work, with facilities you would otherwise pay for separately, such as a gym or a workspace.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to join a London members’ club?
Look for younger members’ rates and limited-access tiers. Among published prices in October 2026, Home House Studio’s limited-access membership started from £600 a year, and The House of KOKO’s under-35 rate was £1,650 a year plus a £250 joining fee.
Can you pay members’ club fees monthly?
At some clubs, yes. The Sloane Club and The House of KOKO both publish monthly rates, though the total over a year is higher than paying annually.
How much is Soho House membership in London?
Soho House does not list prices on its main membership page. It uses a pricing calculator and varies the cost by category, such as Every House or Local House, with cheaper rates for members who join under 27.
Do membership fees include food and drink?
Generally not. The subscription pays for access to the club and its facilities. Meals, drinks, bedrooms and many extras are paid for when you use them.
