The Clermont Club United Kingdom - Casino Platform

Gaming at The Clermont Club

In London, there are very few casino rooms that can point to one clear starting date. For us it is 1962, when The Clermont Club became the first private casino in the city to receive a gambling licence. It happened at 44 Berkeley Square, in Mayfair, and that is still where you will find us today. The core idea has barely shifted.

John Aspinall launched the club with quite a precise vision. This was not going to be a public casino floor or a sightseeing stop. He wanted a private environment for people who treated gambling seriously, supported by hospitality at the same level. Over the years, our practice shows that approach still works. The way we talk about the club, how the rooms are set up, how membership is structured - all of that still follows the line he drew at the beginning.

The 18th-century townhouse at 44 Berkeley Square is more than a pretty building around the tables. It is part of the experience itself. Walking up the steps and into those rooms changes how a session feels in a way a modern glass-and-neon venue simply does not manage. Mayfair, and that old house in particular, put their mark on every visit.

Membership and How Access Works

We operate as a private members club, not as an open-door casino. Access to the gaming floor and related services therefore goes through a clear process rather than casual walk-ins. For new guests, the most sensible first step is to visit clermontclub.com, where we set out the current membership requirements and provide an enquiry form.

From there, the route into the club usually looks like this:

1. You complete a membership application and share your personal details, including proof of identity and address that UK regulations require for gambling venues.

2. Our membership team reviews the information. We do this directly - you are not dealing with a generic bot message or automated acceptance.

3. If everything is approved, we issue your membership credentials. Those details are what you will use to enter the club and to access gaming and hospitality.

4. When you arrive at 44 Berkeley Square, you show your membership at the entrance. Admissions staff handle this discreetly, in keeping with the privacy of the club.

5. During your visit you can go to the member services desk for help with table arrangements, account questions or any hospitality requests.

One practical detail from our day-to-day work: if you have not visited for some time and plan to return, it is worth calling in advance. Memberships can change over a long period and a quick phone call saves you time and avoids any confusion on the door.

We treat the membership model as a core structural decision, not a formality. It defines how we run the gaming floor, how we handle service issues, and how communication flows. Every meaningful interaction is between a member and the club. We do not push guests into anonymous self-service journeys.

Table Games and On-Premise Services

Our gaming offer is built around traditional table play in a high-end, physical club setting. We work with the classic formats that belong in a licensed UK casino and that have been part of The Clermont Club across its different operational stages. The members-only format keeps the room calm and controlled, and over time that has helped us maintain a fairly stable standard of service.

The Clermont Club Limited is registered in the United Kingdom with Companies House under number 05878242. The company sits under SIC code 92000, which covers gambling and betting activities. That regulated framework is the basis for all of the gaming services we provide in the building.

Operational History

In recent years, our operational timeline has had a few breaks in it. The club closed in March 2018, then reopened in early 2022 after a period of redevelopment work, and later entered another temporary closure in August 2022. At present, the most reliable way to confirm the current position is still the official website at clermontclub.com.

Shifts like this are not unusual when a historic venue is being repositioned and rebuilt. Through those pauses, we have kept the same brand priorities in place. Exclusivity, heritage, and a focus on high-end gaming have remained the constant thread even when the doors were not open. The Clermont Set - the small circle of wealthy British gamblers once closely linked with the club - gave the name a particular cultural weight. That legacy continues to shape what membership here stands for.

We are aware that some external listings and directory sites show different or outdated opening hours. To avoid relying on that mix of information, we recommend either checking the current updates on clermontclub.com or calling us directly on +44 20 7952 8688 before planning a visit. It is simply the quickest way to confirm how we are operating at a given moment.

What Membership Covers

Membership is the route to every service we provide. It is not an add-on. It is the structure that holds the whole experience together. In practice, membership generally includes:

1. Access to the gaming floor at 44 Berkeley Square during the hours we are operating.

2. Use of the club’s hospitality services, in line with our positioning as a Mayfair venue for high-end visits.

3. Discreet, smooth handling of your visit from arrival through to departure.

4. Direct contact channels with our membership team for managing your account, setting table preferences and shaping future visits.

5. Entry into a venue with a recorded gaming history reaching back to 1962, which for many members is an important part of the appeal.

We do not run the club as a casual walk-in casino, and we have stayed with that decision across all of our operational phases. Limiting entry to members is not a restriction we apologise for - it is central to how the place feels and functions.

Contacting The Clermont Club

Reaching our team is straightforward, despite the club’s deliberately low public profile. The main point of contact is the phone line on +44 20 7952 8688, which appears consistently across public records and on the club’s own Instagram location page. The official website, clermontclub.com, provides further contact details and simple enquiry options.

For anyone looking to apply for membership, the website remains the natural starting point. For questions about day-to-day operations - current opening status, table availability on a given evening, or a hospitality booking - we usually find that a direct phone call leads to a faster answer.

It is worth noting that the registered office of The Clermont Club Limited is C/O Addleshaw Goddard (Company Secretariat), One St. Peter’s Square, Manchester, M2 3DE. That address exists for corporate and administrative purposes only and is not used for member contact or visits.

We have always preferred to keep communication focused and direct. As a private members casino club, we are not overly visible in general advertising channels by choice. The phone number and website above remain the standard way into the club for any question about membership, gaming or hospitality at our Mayfair address.
