Don't suppose anyone is a member of Shoreditch House are they? I'm looking for a way to get membership but it seems the only way to do it is to get 2 current members to sign you up... I'd welcome the opportunity to buy you a coffee / beer if you are a member and have any tips!


Many thanks in advance

[quote name=Our suave salonniere is Damian Barr' date=' Times journalist and Radio 4 playwright. The whole affair is lubrcated by free servings of the delightfully peculiar Hendrick?s and Tonic with cucumber.


You, of course, make the event very special indeed.]

I understand what you all mean but I still want to be a member - I'm sure some members are pretentious but you can't tar them all with the same brush - besides, it's such a cool building and it's got a swimming pool on the roof which is amazing. Obviously not much use at this time of year! But how cool would that be in the summer...

Don't go there. I had dinner at Soho House last Friday and in the bar afterwards some random woman walked up to me and felt me up - right in front of my boss - and then walked off again. It was a very strange moment. Too many drugs at Soho House. My boss is a founder-member so he pays peanuts. I won't join. Way too pretentious.


Soho House in NYC is shabby. Not shabby chic - just shabby. They need to spend some money.


I would rather spend a night in East Dulwich. Seriously.

Sorry for confusion Charlie. I had dinner at Soho House London last week (got groped) but, as an aside, I was just saying that Soho House NYC is very shabby. I haven't been to Shoreditch. Basically, full of tossers so why would you? I went for work, or I wouldn't have - I would have gone somewhere normal instead.

Shoreditch House is nicer than Soho House, and less full of cunts. The restaurant on the top floor is light and airy and relaxed and the food's pretty good, and views are nice at night. I'm not a member, though have been often and I like it. That said, I've never been at the weekend, so it might be a nightmare then.


Soho House really is full of tossers, which is a shame, as it's a lovely building and with all those nooks and crannies would be an excellent place for a drink otherwise.


The kind of language CC's quoting may be as much to do with Hendrick's as Shoreditch House. Hendrick's sponsor The Chap Olympiad and various events with The Last Tuesday Society and like that kind of flowery going on. To be fair, I do too sometimes. And sometimes I like a pie. But it's nice to wear your best shoes and sip a cocktail amongst handsome strangers from time to time.

Like rosie said shoreditch house is very relaxed and friendly with great food and chilled vibe. Actually rosie,weekends are surprisingly family friendly with a cr?che and lots of games/event for kids. Kiddy birthday parties galore. It's a much more pleasant place than soho house. Not a great fan of these clubs but shoreditch house is just terrific. If only I was still with the ex girlfriend who is a member....

Depends on the family. Take the Frizls for example....

      Handyman Review

      By mgk · Posted

      A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
