List of members' clubs in London

This is a list of members' clubs in London, which is not complete. It includes private members' clubs with physical premises in London, England, as well as those that no longer exist or have merged. There is an additional section for clubs that appear in fiction. Most of these clubs were originally gentlemen's clubs with membership restricted to men, but the majority now admit women as well, and a number of women-only clubs also exist.
