• I love reading about the backlash.

    I used to go there a lot in the early 2010s for meetings about financing films. Always in a suit. Probably in a tie too back then.

    I didn't really get it until someone explained that it was an office space for creatives who were too small to have their own office in soho. I guess in today's parlance, a weework for creative grifters.

    Tbh £3k pa for worldwide access doesn't sound like a lot to me. It's more than most of the St James clubs, but not a crazy amount more.

    Newsflash, Zach.

  • Ha ha ha! Just came to post that 🤣

  • I looked at membership when they opened the Shoreditch, Chiswick and NY offices as there was a chance I would be working in NY a lot (never happened) and I often worked late at my own office in Chiswick, but decided to wait, and I'm glad I did as it would have been wasted. (we got sold to another company and the job moved to the City)

    I met a TV exec once when out with a friend of mine. This was back when there was only one. He was extolling the virtues of Soho House and I decided it probably wasn't the place for me, as this guy was the biggest coked up bullshitter I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He was pitching a show called "Blow shit up" at the time.
