A lavishly illustrated account of the history and present day activities of the great London clubs, some dating back to the 17th Century. Redolent of more leisured times, where the aristocracy, military figures, politicians and more recently a wider society, including ladies, meet to eat, converse or simply read the papers in congenial surroundings. A lovely look beside the grand facades, a glimpse of a lifestyle to which I could easily adapt! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
On its first publication in 1979, Lejeune's The Gentlemen's Clubs of London rapidly established itself as a widely sought-after and quoted work around the world among those intrigued by and participating in the rarefied world of the famous clubs of London society. This is a new, thoroughly updated edition. This book lays forth the histories of the clubs, why and how each came into being, who belongs and belonged to which, how members are chosen, and how the clubs have changed down the generations - if indeed they have. This work tells of the ambiance and grace of the clubs, their privacies and eccentricities, and of the yarns, disputes and scandals to which they have given rise. Here are new and archival photographs of the clubs' interiors, ranging from the elegant to the snug, premises which are sometimes secret and quirky and sometimes grand, each unique and fitting the character and contributing to the needs and lives of its members.
