Cobden Club - Notting Hill

Think: West London Boho

West London's best-known private members' club is located in a magnificent grade II listed building, the old Working Men's Club and Institute on Kensal Road, and has just undergone a major refurbishment.

The venue spans three floors, which can be hired out individually or combined to offer a wonderful space. The new Kensal Lounge on the ground floor is designed to feel like a New York artist's funky studio, while the cocktail lounge and a la carte restaurant on the first floor are elegant and stylish, furnished with brown leather and soft lighting.

The Grand Hall is an old Victorian theatre and features a stage at one end and a 30-foot bar at the other. The new state-of-the-art sound system, DJ booth, full lighting rig and a digital film projector complete this venue's appeal.
