Clubs

Situated in vibrant and trendy East London, David Carter’s home is a historic and elegant four storey Queen Anne townhouse built in 1717. For many years the property has been one of London’s most popular and successful location houses, providing a playful and luxurious backdrop for countless fashion and celebrity shoots. But with two rarely used guest bedrooms, 4 0 W i N K S is being launched to help give photographers, stylists, art directors, designers, buyers, models and anyone in the creative and fashion industries somewhere fun and different to stay when they are in London for work or pleasure.

We're an amiable bunch of coves, given to doffing our hats to ladies, twirling both canes and moustaches (sometimes simultaneously, if we haven't had too much to drink yet) and devoting at least half an hour each morning to perfecting our tie knots. Of course, if you're a lady yourself, you don't have to grow a moustache or doff to yourself in the mirror. In fact, ladies make up roughly half our membership, even though the origins of the club might seem rather gent-orientated.

Society of witty and slightly old-fashioned creative decadents.

The Veteran-Cycle Club was originally formed in 1955 to promote the riding and conservation of old cycles in addition to the study and exchange of information about the history of cycles and cycling. Today the club has grown to over 2300 members from all over the world who enjoy many benefits and services through club membership. The club includes all cycles from tandems to tricycles - from solid-tyred machines through roadsters to classic lightweights and beyond - in fact anything collectable or of interest.

Founded in 1951, the Society is open to anyone with an interest in Sherlock Holmes, Dr John H. Watson and their world. It is a literary and social Society, publishing a scholarly Journal and occasional papers, and holding meetings, dinners and excursions.
