When open, the Groucho Club is one of London’s most famous and fabulous places to drink. It is especially busy and convivial at Christmas, when members and their friends have descended to become merry since 1985. But the Soho club has had its licence suspended after it was reported that “a serious crime may have taken place at the venue”. It means that for now the Groucho is closed.
Where might the writers, the musicians, the artists and the film stars — hedonists all — go this festive season? Where will they do shots with Father Christmas? Soho might feel a little broken, but there are alternatives. Some of the places listed here require a membership. That’s down to you and don’t think for one moment that I care.
