OPINION - Dylan Jones: If London has a secret superpower, this is it

Before I knew anything about anything, I always imagined that Los Angeles would have more private clubs than any other city in the world. It stood to reason, I thought, as LA is always full of celebrities and if there’s one thing that celebrities hate more than anything else it’s muggles. If you’re a famous person then the very last place you want to find yourself is somewhere where you are forced to mix with people who aren’t famous.

But I was wrong (although not about slebs avoiding muggles). There are hardly any private members’ clubs in LA and most of them are owned by a Brit, Nick Jones, the wizard who invented Soho House.
