Private Clubs for Young Professionals - London
Hi,
I am a young professional (think 25-30) working in London in an investment bank and I would like to join a private club / society for young professionals.
I am thinking about a club that would provide me the opportunity to network with other young professionals and even help improve the society through some charitable acts. I would even enjoy a talk or two about investments/finance once in a while.
I am thinking of something similar to: 'Gentlemen's Clubs in London' Wikipedia - search on Google . However, these clubs do not accept young members, especially those that do not have an invitation from another member within the club.
Can you guys recommend any private clubs in London that are worth attending?
The only clubs worth joining are primarily the Pall Mall and St James clubs. They do accept younger members, I joined two in my early 20s, but quite frankly if you don't know members already via school and uni it will be rather difficult for you. You could always try the Royal Overseas, it is a club technically, but is rather easy to get in to. Also if you do manage to get in, try to avoid business chat, it just isn't done for the most part.
Thank you, any other suggestions?
Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but what about Home House or Annabels?
London Networking? (Originally Posted: 10/16/2011)
I'm currently at a semi target with some alumni in London that I talked to over the phone this summer. I can't realistically fly to London for a weekend to meet them in person so how should I best use them? Should I schedule another phone meeting and just drill deeper into their backgrounds and maybe talk about more casual topics like sports and stuff? Does London have the same referral culture that NY does? Should I just send them my resume to 'review' or should I just be direct and ask if they can help me out with an SA?
why London? stick to the US
this is madness stick to US
