I experienced the worst food in a London club ever, when taken to Home House for dinner this week by a corporate member. My asparagus was hard and far too cold. My lamb was horribly greasy. There was no way I would risk a pudding. I thought the loos were quite good though.

It seemed to me that lingering about in the various reception rooms were a lot of London's office workers who seem to think, by the way passing people are checked out, that this is the place to meet their future partners. Apart from a lively bar in the garden and a private party, the entire place reminded me of a mausoleum. The building is as grim as the food. I was offered the opportunity to become a member. I politely declined.

A must to avoid. Crowded ,poor service ,shabby, dog haired and staff with attitude.

A superb building, the cental staircase an achitectural gem. The staff are very attentive and the food excellent. Some furnishings,the transparent plasic 'Regency' style dining chairs and the three TV screens in the bar, were not to my own taste but this Club presumably attracts a membership who may not be comfortable in a more traditional London Club. With this niche clientel in mind I rate it 4/5.

This exclusive hotel room was a gift for our anniversary. We were lavished in comfort and style. Its an old mansion converted into about 16 unique rooms overlooking Portman Square. Each room decorated with a different style. Ours was the Lady Susan Thorpe's room. Excellent down bedding, VERY large bathroom. The Bison Bar is what you want in your own home. Careful, they smoke in there too! This is the only place the house smelled of smoke though. We didn't use the spa/gym or eat here, but it was a lovely stay and if I could afford it, I'd stay there every time! The little Kingly alligator slippers will cost you about $26 US if you take them home!
