Soho House has private members’ clubs (our ‘Houses’), along with public restaurants, spas, cinemas and hotels (our ‘Spaces’) throughout the world. Membership to Soho House is for people with a ‘creative soul’, and requires its members and their guests to accept the standards of conduct and rules in our Spaces.

1. Soho Friends

Soho House reserves the right at its absolute discretion to change the Soho House company with whom a Soho Friends member contracts from time to time.
Soho House reserves the right at its discretion to change the Soho House company with whom a Soho Friends member contracts from time to time. Soho House will inform each Soho Friends member of the name of the Soho House company with whom he or she contracts by email when we confirm your membership approval and/ or renewal, and also when we change your contracting Soho House company at any time. In these rules, we will refer to that company as ‘Soho House’.
