Beautiful place to meet for lunch. Membership only or as in my case by invitation of a member. Tons of history and insight into the past. Great service.
Great private club, probably one of the best old traditional English clubs.
A club full of history that has evolved and constantly stayed relevant. Always a great energy be it 7am playing squash or election night in the London Room.
Absolutely lovely. However, it is a private members club so one cannot simply turn up.
The atmosphere of a grand gentleman's club, well appointed, well organised, excellent waiting staff, delicious menu. The whole event was achieved completely seamlessly. Should you enjoy top class old world charm this is the venue for you.
Cozy and fine enough without being unnecessarily ostentatious
Superb Member's Club, at the heart London. Much recommended..
Wonderful dinner, friendly staff, great archeticture and amazing cars on display when it s Christmas Carol singing : )
Step back in time. A superior members only classic British sport club. Unrivalled interiors and service. Excellent restaurants, amazing pool and hot rooms, squash courts, gym and much more. Superb place to relax and escape the world. Although you can't wear jeans and will need a collared shirt.
I loved attending this place for breakfast having eaten vegan pancakes with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. It has a very posh layout with a lot memorabilia and the paintings of the founding members. Really enjoyed this.
We are not members. But wandered in because of the grand decor on the ground floor. Absolutely top class interior. Didn't see any of the dining rooms since we are not members.
Wonderful venue. The art and details in the building are brilliant. Highly recommend a visit if your able.
Ha Ha Ha. Yup apparently I visited here. Was awesome!
Many years ago I was a member and enjoyed lunches and dinners there. Now at 89 have slowed down a bit. A first class club with facilities at their other places. First class service and service.
Outside you see only a gray build, but when you come in the atmosphere change to a sublime and posh area.
A must see if you are in London. It's a combination of fresh and antique, with very nice staff and gaming rooms, a lovely displayed automobile that changes every week and a nice menu
Great service, formal but not stuffy. Food good but veggie option homeopathically inadequate. Beautiful main dining area. Reassuringly expensive.
Is it really worthwhile paying that much money to be a member of a club? Unless you're a snob of course!
The only club in this street that you can actually (eventually) access. I like it more than the other two up and down the road, esp. the garden.
Just a beautiful building with top class service and facilities
A club in a building with atmosphere and character - and good food as well.
Private members club with squash courts and swimming pool.
Wonderful place to enjoy lunch. Top class cuisine with impeccable service. The interior design is classy and speaks full of history.
Great food and perfect place for a drink. Formal attire during the week only and no mobile phone calls allowed in the foyer.
Sublime food, service and ambience. Best in London hands down
I don't think that the staff anywhere can be stiffer than this place. And the cloak room queues - for anyone's sake, get that sorted. The food is a good reminder how poor the choices were in London some thirty years ago. For some reason I have to visit this place occasionally for official functions, but everytime it manages to undershoot my low and lower expectations. One star, as there is no option for a lower grade.
Great old school club. Great facilities. Lovely swimming pool. Restaurants are spot on and prices are great for London. Amazing place to go for a drink, meal or to exercise
Old world club atmosphere. Quiet. Great place to meet up with friends.
First impressions are very good , staff and people who members all very friendly
Impressive! Has been invited for a quick lunch with colleagues. Can't say the prawn sandwich in the bar was great but the rest gives you wow impressions
I have had a excellent time, 5 restaurant lovely food !!! It's a very special members club I really recommend staff simple well mannered, can't recommend more absolutely stunning
GREAT PLACE , amazing service and moderately and reasonably priced with good quality food .
The Royal Automobile Club is a home from home and a welcome oasis in the centre of town. The facilities are excellent with probably the best pool and Turkish Baths in London. Several excellent restaurants (The Great Gallery is superb) and a variety of extremely opulent rooms; service throughout is generally world-class and faultless, the Club and fellow members make membership a pleasure. In addition to the swimming pool and Turkish baths, the sports area includes some of the nation's best squash courts (including one of only a handful of doubles courts), fully equipped gym, weights and aerobics rooms, with state of the art equipment and private trainers. Compared to some of the stuffier and more "establishment" gents clubs, the RAC's membership is a broad church - which I think is a distinct advantage. The food and drink is on another level compared to most private clubs and the Club regularly hosts visiting chefs from the finest restaurants around the world. The Club has excellent guest rooms which are superb value for members or guests and in addition to the Pall Mall Club House, there is a superb country house in Woodcote Park, which has two 18 hole golf courses and a wide range of sporting facilities and events for all tastes. For members there are many activity sections covering most sports and past times - and the events team packs a busy top notch events schedule offering a wide range of unique events and experiences for all. For those who travel, there are reciprocal arrangements with some of the finest private members clubs around the world.
Well established London members only dining establishment. .
Excellent facilities and a great food . A real oasis in a great part of town.
I started with the smoked salmon which was complimented with a Kir Royale, followed by a beautiful piece of roe deer with cabbage and chaneteny mushrooms. The bottle of burgundy recommended by the vibrant French sommelier (somewhat happy on a dreary day) and also left no room for stuffiness which was nice in such a place. Of course there was room for dessert and as there was a Pear Tart Tartin to share it was the only real option there. It was a superb choice and was caramilsed to perfection. I had expected more of a stuffy and pretentious feel about the place, however staff were warm, friendly and engaging to the right level. To go with a member is a great honor and I will be sure to try and go again for another experience of this truly prestigious and wonderfully British club. If you haven't been I suggest you get an invite to experience it just once in your life.
Took my elderly cousin for tea there. A reunion of past employees. Joyce worked there as a waitress at the club during WW2. A beautiful place with friendly staff. Joyce at 99 loved the experience
What's to say probably the best club in London food, staff, service rooms and location
Very high end club but with relaxed options. Good choice of food, lots of history and a feature car in the lobby which changes often. If you're invited to attend then do so, don't forget your tie. And don't wear jeans!
Wonderful building . great venue for s fine Evenings reception.
Old school and classic club. The service and quality of food and drink is great. Very relaxing vibe. A little too proper for me but still cool
It's an ok place. Has a lot of history; private members club. So, non-members get excited to be allowed to visit.
We went to the less fancy restaurant because the main restaurant is closed on sundays. Amazing food! The oyestors are fresh! I ordered the mixed grill seafood platter. It was just amazing. The portion is big! The risotto is also amazing. The beetroot burger is very sweet and hence it is not oreferred. Then we ordered 6 desserts. The tiramisu was okay but I really liked the hazelnut rocher and the chocolate rasberry. They are amazing!
Great venue, just don't forget your jacket and tie if you want to eat here
Absolutely amazing - pity I can't afford the membership fees! Wish list for sure.
Has a peach of a galleried rotunda. And the very stuffiest of stuffy art. Pleasingly, the parking is lousy.
Big and impersonal, but good facilities, including one of the best swimming pools in London.
The RAC is very much a posh old boys club, with the usual pomp and dress codes you'd expect from such an establishment. Whilst it feels like stepping into a past era, their facilities are also much better than some of the other clubs on Pall Mall as they have a pool in the basement and a beautiful outside terrace for summer wining and dining. The library is an excellent spot to get some quiet work done - it does get a bit chilly in the winter but staff can usually be cajoled into lighting the fires for you. If you've never crossed the threshold, you should sniff out a member for an invite to dinner sometime - it's worth going once for the experience.
I have been privileged to be a member for many years . It really is the finest club in the UK let alone London The dress code has been relaxed quite considerably so check with the club first -many areas no tie required
Very exclusive establishment with great facilities.
Excellent food and drinks. The Welsh rarebit was a great success
This is definitely one of the best and most exclusive clubs in the country. The food, atmosphere and service was all absolutely fantastic.
Big, excellent facilities -especially the swimming pool - but feels impersonal. More like a hotel than a club.
Beautiful private club with amazing facilities and a wonderful restaurant and bar plus a gorgeous indoor swimming pool, accommodation and private function rooms.
It was not long ago that I worked here as part of my work experience. The staff and managers were very kind and helpful and I felt extremely safe at all times.
One of the best hotels in London and if you need to work out, you'll be amazed at their facilities. Food is great and the service is top-drawer.
Alongside the Athenaeum, perhaps the grandest of the old london clubs along Pall mall. If you get invited, go, but make sure to where a tie. Attractions include a different vintage car in the entrance lobby each week, the famous underground swimming pool, and the food and drink. Fabulous.
