Sloane Club
****/*****
The exclusive Sloane Club has its origins
in the Service Women’s Club, which was
founded for serving and former lady
officers of the Armed Forces in the
Second World War.
It became the Helena Club for ladies
in the early 1960s, established by a ladyin-waiting
to Princess Marie Louise.
Gentlemen were admitted in the 1970s
and it became the Sloane Club in 1976.
It is designed as a home from home.
Although you need to be a member

of their stay, allowing them to use the
restaurant, private dining room, bar and
roof terrace.
The 20 apartments are four or
five-star, ranging from studios to four
bedrooms, and can be found in Lower
Sloane Street and Sloane Gardens.
They are available from one week to
