Mark's Club

The club is located in a townhouse at 46 Charles Street in Mayfair, London, which runs from Waverton Street to Berkeley Square.[1] It is near the location of what was Annabel's, a private members' nightclub[1] and opposite The Only Running Footman public house.

The club was opened by Mark Birley in 1972[2] and acquired by Richard Caring in 2007.[2] Since 2014, Caring has co-owned the club with Peter Dubens and Charles Price (son of the late Ambassador Charles H. Price II).[2] Howard Barclay, Sir Frederick Barclay's son, serves on its executive committee.[2] Its interior was redecorated by Tino Zervudachi in 2015.[2]

The club has hosted many fashion events. In February 2012, Belstaff held their relaunch party there[3] and in June 2014, Marin Hopper launched her fashion line, Hayward Luxury, there as well.[4] Several months later, in October 2014, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood launched her autobiography at Mark's.[5] In February 2015, Moda Operandi organized a dinner there[6][7] as did actress Gwyneth Paltrow, for her lifestyle company, Goop.[8]

The restaurant serves English cuisine.[9] The head chef is Ben Hughes.[8] Patrons include members of the British establishment. In 2007, Princess Michael of Kent stated that she had had meals at the club since it opened.[9] In May 2015, British Prime Minister David Cameron, his wife, Samantha Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne, dined at the club shortly after the general election.[10]
