Membership

Thank you very much for your enquiry regarding membership.

 About the Club

The UNION is a members-only dining club occupying a Grade Two-listed, Georgian town house of exceptional character and charm at 50 Greek Street, London W1. Erected in 1736, it is original throughout; with chandeliers, open fires, panelled rooms, creaky floors and a host of structural eccentricities typical of so old a building.

The UNION is most definitely not this year’s model.

We bake our own bread and make our own pasta every day. We serve lunch, tea and dinner to a small but loyal membership of arts and media seniors; discerning clients, becoming our friends. Perhaps you will be too?

We open from noon until midnight and generally take last orders to the kitchen around 11pm, if given prior warning. A select, seasonal menu is changed daily and freshly prepared by our kitchen team under Head Chef Carolyn Dawson. We can accommodate you for afternoon tea by yourself or for an all-day reception and dinner on your wedding day, plus anything in between.

Our dining room is very pretty; our ever-so charming staff only too happy to look after you and your guests, in modest tranquillity, throughout the day. Our library meeting room is available to members for day use for a small hire charge.

Membership of the UNION is currently open although there is a short waiting time of between six to eight weeks.

New Applicants

New applicants are requested to return their application forms within 4 weeks of receipt of this letter. Unfortunately, for administrative purposes, if we do not receive your details within this 4-week period, your application form will become void and your place on our short waiting list passed on to other enquirers. To secure your place on the waiting list therefore, the following documents need to be returned to us as soon as possible.

1. The enclosed application form and signed standing order mandate for your ANNUAL RATE OR QUARTERLY RATE subscription fees
2. An undated cheque (or your credit card details) for the 1st year joining fee of £176.25 (this is a one-off payment and will only be charged to you once your application has been processed).
3. An up-to-date passport-size photograph.

Please remember to supply your bank details in full on the standing order mandate located on the reverse of the application form and sign it at the bottom. Finally, do please call us if you have any questions whatsoever and we will happily tell you more about the UNION.

Yours sincerely,
