Membership Terms & Conditions

Founded in 2001, Century Club is a hidden gem in the heart of Soho, a hub for the creative and entrepreneurial minded. Spread across five floors, members and their guests enjoy access to two restaurants, five bars, four private meeting rooms and three roof terraces with magnificent views over London, a weekly roster of members’ events, plus reciprocal access to nearly forty clubs worldwide.

Membership Categories:
All memberships consist of an initial 12 month commitment, after which they convert to a rolling Annual contract. The joining fee and subscription rates for all categories of membership are subject to change from time-to-time at the discretion of Century Club.

There are four categories of membership:

Annual Membership

All Annual Memberships allow exclusive access to the club. Annual Members have been approved from applications or proposals. A yearly subscription will be levied and there will be a joining fee.

Under 35s Membership

Our membership for individuals under 35 is non-transferable and will automatically transition to the standard rate when the member celebrates their 35th birthday or at the conclusion of their first year of membership if they turn 35 during that initial 12-month period.

Out of Town Membership

Out of Town Members live and practice their business outside of London for more than 75% of any calendar year. Out of Town Members must be able to demonstrate that they have a permanent address outside London. They must not have either a residential address or a place of business within Greater London. Evidence of the above may be required. A yearly subscription will be levied and there will be a joining fee. 

Joint Membership

A joint membership is designed for two individuals who enroll simultaneously. These individuals can be friends, colleagues, or in a partnership.

Corporate Membership
Corporate Memberships are available when four or more individuals from the same organisation join simultaneously. These memberships are issued to the named individuals who apply, rather than to the organisation as a whole.

Maintaining a Corporate membership requires a minimum number of our named individuals to be associated with the Corporate membership records at all times. If the number of individuals falls below this level, the Group membership will be terminated, and the remaining members will be offered the opportunity to join the Club as individuals. They will be charged at their applicable individual rate, with any relevant joining fee applied.

Corporate memberships can be transferred between individuals of the same organisation. Notice must be provided to the Century Club in writing regarding the proposed transfer, and a new application will need to be submitted. There is a £50 admin transfer fee applicable to transfer membership to a new employee. It is the responsibility of the organisation to inform their employees of any changes to their Corporate membership.

 Please enquire by contacting the Membership Manager for more details.

Membership payments

A joining fee and the initial membership subscription must be paid in full using a credit or debit card. Subsequent subscriptions will be automatically collected by chosen payment method.

Once membership is renewed for another year – no refunds are possible.

Annual subscriptions may be subject to increases, but any such increase will require a one-month notice period.

Following the initial 12 months of a member’s membership, their membership will continue on an annual rolling contract. Membership may be temporarily suspended if payments are not received promptly.  Century Club reserves the right to decide whether or not to extend a member’s membership after their initial 12-month period, and it is not obligated to provide a reason for its decision. Membership may also be terminated as outlined in other sections of these Rules.

Resignation
Any member wishing to resign must do so in writing or via email ONE MONTH prior to their membership expiry to Century Club’s membership team. Century Club will give notice in writing or via email of termination of any members’ membership. Where membership is terminated by way of resignation, expiry or other form of termination, previously paid membership fees will not be refunded to the member. Please note that the Joining Fee is non-refundable in all cases.

After the initial 12 months of membership, subscription renewals are automatic, based on an annual rolling contract until it’s stopped with sufficient notice in writing.

Access
Members will need their digital membership cards with them at all times. These can be easily accessed by downloading them from the Century app. For safekeeping, they can be securely stored in an Apple Wallet or a similar digital wallet.

Occasionally, club rooms will be unavailable due to private functions, but alternative rooms & solutions will always be made available.

Members must be present in the Club for their guests to gain admission and/or use the facilities. Every member is allowed 4 guests over the age of 18 (unless by prior arrangement with the Club).

All guests’ names must be provided to the reception desk. Upon arrival, members are required to sign in all guests. Guests who are not accompanied by a member or have not received prior approval will be asked to wait at the reception area. It is essential for members to understand that they are ultimately responsible for the behavior of their guests and any financial liabilities incurred by them while using the facilities at Century Club.

In cases where accounts remain unpaid or disputes arise, the member who signed the guest(s) into the club will be held responsible for the outstanding amount. Century Club retains the right to deny entry to any member who has unpaid debts to the establishment.

If a member fails to settle their bill within 30 days, their membership will be temporarily suspended until the outstanding balance is resolved. Furthermore, at the discretion of the Century Club, formal measures may be pursued to recover any unpaid amounts owed by a member, and their club membership may ultimately be terminated.
