How London’s Members’ Clubs Are Doing Their Bit For The Community
While their doors may remain closed temporarily amidst the coronavirus crisis, London’s leading members’ clubs have turned to the community to help tackle this global crisis.
From donating thousands of meals a week to frontline workers to opening up their services online, we turn to some of London’s top members’ clubs to see how they’re helping during this crisis.
Annabel’s
Gaining access into Annabel’s exclusive, beautifully decorated members club may be hard to come by, but its appeal is irresistible. During the COVID-19 crisis, Annabel’s has been working with its charity, The Caring Foundation, to give back to the NHS and thank them for all of their dedication and hardwork by providing at least 7,000 meals a week to NHS workers working across London hospitals. The Berkeley Square establishment has opened the doors to their four kitchens, delivering thousands since the colossal outbreak of coronavirus in the UK, and they hope to raise the total to a whopping 10,000 meals a week soon.
Annabel’s is just one of the hospitality heroes helping out alongside The Caring Foundation. Others include: Sexy Fish, Bill’s, The Ivy Collection, Le Caprice, 34 Mayfair, Scott’s and Harry’s Dolce Vita.
