"Airmail describes the book as a captivating journey through 46 clubs, showcasing three centuries of architectural and design evolution. House & Garden UK praises its richly illustrated and cleverly written exploration of one of the capital’s most unique and intimate institutions. Charles Saumarez Smith notes that Jones treats these clubs more as studies in interior decor, which he discusses with insight and keen observation. Featuring elements like the hidden bookcase door in The Travellers Club library in St James's and the taxidermy fish with rod-lined walls at Mayfair’s Flyfishers’ Club, it provides an informal guide to the city's most unusual yet sophisticated private dining and drinking establishments, according to the Financial Times. The Rake considers it a wonderful work on the architecture and interiors of London's exclusive members’ spaces. London boasts more private clubs than any other city."
