South Kensington Club
Members club inspired by adventure and wellbeing
Opened in 2014, this private members club embraces the philosophy of a balanced lifestyle, offerings members the fitness and wellness needs that a busy, on-the-go routine often does not permit. Located in an old Georgian town hall, wellbeing practices encompass therapies, treatments, bucket-list expeditions and, of course, dinner parties. The balance the club offers is something between sauna visits and martinis, a dip in the saltwater Watsu pool and power yoga – in addition to the facility’s revitalising Mediterranean restaurant and cold-pressed juice bar. Applicants are granted a personal interview before joining the club.
