    Adam Street is a subterranean private members' club within spitting distance of the Savoy; 3 minutes walk from Embankment Tube/Charing Cross station.

    It consists of a bar, a restaurant (with separate private dining facilities), an art gallery and a mini theatre right at the bottom which doubles as a (ever so slightly cheesy) nightclub/dance-pit for private parties and Friday (busy) and Saturday (dead) nights. The staff are all gorgeous and polite the drinks are spot on (a touch pricey - but come on folks check the postcode!), the wine list's extensive, the food sort of gastro school dinners (butter based and great - soups and fish and meat a speciality) and still 2 courses for 10 (this was a 'special' run in January and still going in September...).

    Membership is targetted at the freelancer or entrepreneur who needs a base in London as such the membership is quite cool. However there have been more and more pompous suit creeping in recently and Abi sodding Titmus was there recently - damn her. I don't go to China Whites so she shouldn't come down my club. You've been warned Titmus! That goes for you Theakston, and you Halliwell!

    As a member you have free use of the library for quiet work (internet access etc) and the leather sofa-ed bar is great for businesscas' meetings. A great combo for work/pleasure and good value.

    The theatre also hosts loads of things like comedy nights (free to members - inaccessible to non-members) Reginald D Hunter trialled some new material here (check him out if you ever get the chance - he holds an audience spell-bound)

    Find someone who is a member and get down there. But don't you dare bring any former member of Take That and if I even sniff a Big Brother contestant I will not be responsible for my actions.

    Hi Rob,
    Soks and I had a meeting there a short time ago and it is a nice little place. It has this networking feel to it and seem friendly enough of a place to meet other entrepreneurs. A few nice leather sofas would have been a nice addition though.

    Hi Walid. Errrr, the bar must have about 5 or 6 leather sofas...and there's another one in the library...and 2 in reception...and a few more in the basement - did you meet in Adam House? this is the associated serviced office upstairs (available at short notice on short lets) which has a load of meeting rooms I think too.

    ....hmmmm no we met in the bar / cafe area, I must have completely missed them. Probably as I was sitting on a slightly uncomfortable chair during this morning meeting. Gives me another reason to go back and check it out. So hard to find good little places in London to have business meeting that aren't coffee shops or hotel receptions. From now on I'm going to tag all places I go to as good little places to have business meetings as "business". If you have any other recommendations to put on such as Adam Street please do review them. I'm going to put 5th View now as a review.
