The Origin Of The In-Crowd: A Classic Tour Of London's Soho Houses
The infamous members-only Soho House experience relies on a few things for it to exist. The first one being we spend so much time and energy thinking about how to get in, the second being, who do we know that can get us in?
After the first Soho House was established in London in 1995, founder Nick Jones took that one posh house in Soho and expanded it into a Soho Global Empire. From then on, young creatives with money to spend, have benefited from the last two decades dining exquisitely at in-house restaurants or networking by the rooftop pools with A-listers, artists, and directors from across the globe. But let's take you back to the city where it all began - London. Consider this a prerequisite for your membership.
180 HOUSE
Spend the afternoon at the rooftop pool with 270 degree views of Thames and Central London. Then, dance the night away in 1970's inspired two-story club. The new house studio is now open for members to create content, audio and visuals in a flash.
What to wear: Twiggy dress in eyelet with a great platform.
WHITE CITY HOUSE
Taking cues from the 60's and classic Brit sitcom shows, White City is like stepping inside a series of groovy memories. Cozy up in velvet and cashmere in one of the three screening rooms, or attend an event on the eighth floor at the Welcome Bar and Lounge.
What to wear: Katharine blazer in ivory paired with Beverly pants and pop of color heels
40 GREEK STREET
The OG that started it all. Get acquainted with almost 30 years of history in this settled townhouse featuring a morning lounge room, drawing rooms for cozy conversation, and a circle bar spotlighting 40x40 works of art by creatives under the age of 40. As a good way to remember the address.
What to wear: Brigitte sweater over the shoulders with the Kate slip skirt and driving loafers.
SHOREDITCH HOUSE
A once warehouse recast into posh all season heated rooftop pool with attached square bar and sitting rooms designed to keep the hints of his original industrialism in mind. A few blocks away, take a peek inside Soho Works screening room at Redchurch Street.
What to wear: Donna in linen with pops of red to match those amazing umbrellas. PS. No photos allowed, but you ca still look like a photo, right?
