Clubland is another country, redolent of the past but, for its few thousand often influential inhabitants, an integral part of life. This text covers around 50 clubs, with over 400 photographs and other illustrations observing grand vistas and quaint details.<br>On its first publication in 1979, Lejeune's The Gentlemen's Clubs of 
London rapidly established itself as a widely sought-after and quoted 
work around the world among those intrigued by and participating in the 
rarefied world of the famous clubs of London society. This is a new, 
thoroughly updated edition. This book lays forth the histories of the 
clubs, why and how each came into being, who belongs and belonged to 
which, how members are chosen, and how the clubs have changed down the 
generations - if indeed they have. This work tells of the ambiance and 
grace of the clubs, their privacies and eccentricities, and of the 
yarns, disputes and scandals to which they have given rise. Here are new
 and archival photographs of the clubs' interiors, ranging from the 
elegant to the snug, premises which are sometimes secret and quirky and 
sometimes grand, each unique and fitting the character and contributing 
to the needs and lives of its members.</br>
