The Clermont Club United Kingdom Casino

What You Are Walking Into at 44 Berkeley Square

The Clermont Club is a private members’ casino inside a Georgian townhouse at 44 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 5AR. It is not a casual walk-in venue and it is not a hotel lobby with a few slot machines by the lifts. The house dates from around 1740 and has the kind of built-in history that other places usually have to fake with decor.

Gaming on the premises is run by Clermont Leisure (UK) Limited, which holds a UK Gambling Commission operating licence, account number 2991, licence reference 002991-N-104015-016. On the Commission’s public register, the trading name “The Clermont Club” is listed as active. Every table on the floor sits under UK regulation, and where a dispute cannot be sorted out in-house, IBAS steps in as the independent adjudicator at [email protected].

Worth spelling out plainly: there is no Clermont Club mobile app. Nothing in Google Play, nothing in the App Store. The official site at clermontclub.com is about membership, events, house rules, terms and similar. It does not host online gambling or remote betting.

Membership At The Clermont Club

There is no classic “door policy” where you try your luck at the entrance. The only way inside is to be accepted as a member, and that whole process starts online rather than on the pavement.

The route in is through clermontclub.com. Head to the Membership section, read through what they say about criteria and expectations, then submit the enquiry form. The pitch is clearly aimed at high-net-worth guests who want a private gaming space, so the overall tone is set before you even press send. After the form goes in, the membership team looks at it and contacts you directly. If they approve you, they confirm your membership and tell you how access will work.

A few practical points that help:

1. Treat the Membership page on clermontclub.com as your main reference, as that is where the current conditions and any changes appear first.
2. While you are waiting, you can call +44 20 7952 8688 or write to [email protected] if something needs clearing up.
3. Once you have a yes, check the latest opening hours before the first time you go. As a rule, the club opens around 13:00 and runs until roughly 04:00 every day, but schedules do shift.
4. When you arrive at 44 Berkeley Square, you show your membership details at the entrance so the team can verify you and let you in.

The club does not put a public price list for membership anywhere. That is fairly standard for private, invite-leaning venues in Mayfair. If you want a number, you usually have to ask and they will discuss it one-on-one.

There is one more simple habit that saves hassle: before you travel, especially if you have not been for a while, check your membership is still active. A short call to reception is easier than turning up and finding out something lapsed quietly.

The History Is Part Of The Offer

The Clermont Club itself opened its doors in 1962, under John Aspinall. Quite soon after that, “the Clermont Set” became a shorthand in the press for the mix of aristocrats, business figures and social names who spent their evenings gambling at 44 Berkeley Square through the 1960s and 1970s. That period left a cultural trace that the club still leans on in its image.

The building is central to that story. It is Georgian, with interiors influenced by William Kent, and the club chose to restore and integrate those features in the renovation rather than strip them out. After a spell of closure, the current version of The Clermont Club reopened around summer 2020, following a full refurbishment under new ownership via Mayfair Casino Ltd. Coverage at the time talked about it as a relaunch for a more international crowd, while keeping the same address that regulars already knew.

Today, the club trades heavily on discretion, service that feels tailored and the quiet impact of that Mayfair address. Whether that appeals to you or feels too rarefied is personal, but the history behind it is not for show.

Planning A Visit Or An Event

If you are already a member and want to book in some gaming, the routine is fairly simple. First check that your membership is in order - a quick call to +44 20 7952 8688 or an email to [email protected] will do it. Then look up current opening hours for the specific day you have in mind. Typical hours are from 13:00 through to about 04:00, but they can shift with events or operational changes.

Reaching the club is straightforward. 44 Berkeley Square is in central Mayfair, and Green Park or Bond Street Underground stations are both viable routes in. Once you get there, show your membership credentials at the door, and then make your way through to the gaming areas, which are set up more like private salons than a mass-market casino floor.

If you run into a dispute around a gaming transaction that cannot be resolved directly with the club, you can take it to IBAS for an independent decision. Their postal address is PO Box 62639, London EC3P 3AS.

The house also accepts bookings for private or corporate events. For that, your first stop is the Events section on clermontclub.com. From there, you can send an enquiry or call the club to talk through what you want. They can use different rooms within the townhouse for private and corporate functions. You confirm dates, guest numbers and particular requirements with the events team, and they work with you on timings and arrival arrangements.

Regulation, Paperwork And A Few Online Details

Clermont Leisure (UK) Limited is the legal entity that holds the Gambling Commission licence and trades as The Clermont Club. In the Terms and Conditions, the registered office is shown as c/o Addleshaw Goddard (Company Secretariat), One St. Peter’s Square, Manchester, M2 3DE. For the Gambling Commission, the head office address against the licence holder is Mayfair Casino Ltd, 20 North Audley Street, London W1K 6WE.

If you want to check all of this yourself, you can look up the Gambling Commission public register for account number 2991, where you see the active status and trading name details. On Companies House, The Clermont Club Limited appears under company number 05878242, again with One St. Peter’s Square in Manchester as its registered address.

There are a couple of small points online that still trip people up. The current official website is clermontclub.com. An older address, theclermontclub.com, relates to a previous era and is no longer the place you should be using. The same thing happens with the phone line: an older number, +44 20 7493 5587, is still floating around in a few directories, but the number in use now is +44 20 7952 8688. Use the newer one for anything current.

It is also useful to mention that The Clermont Club has nothing to do with The Clermont hotel brand. The hotels trade through theclermont.co.uk and run properties at Charing Cross and Victoria. They simply share a name. Corporate structures, addresses and activities are all separate.
