About | Annabel's
The Club's Dress Code does not wish to be binding or overly prescriptive.
Members and their guests should dress for the occasion and be respectful in their choice of attire.
Fashion sneakers are acceptable during the day until 6pm.
After 6pm Gentlemen are required to wear jackets throughout the Club, which can be removed for dancing.
Even if meeting the Dress Code requirements, the Management reserves the right to refuse entry to any Member or their guests who are not sufficiently well presented.
A critical analysis of the new Annabel's dress code | British GQ
First look inside legendary London club Annabel's as it unveils ...
Membership for Annabel’s will be by invitation only with new candidates requiring a proposer and seconder with election by the club’s Committee.
Apparently there is no desire or need to grow the membership in quantity, as it already runs into the several thousands, but they are looking to attract a younger tier of membership.
Anyone with fond memories of descending those illustrious steps into Annabel’s, full of giddy anticipation of the night ahead, can rest assured that the nightclub will still be below stairs and offer the same cloistered intimacy that - along with the gilded membership - made the original such a resounding success.
The new Annabel’s will be at 46, Berkeley Square, London, W1J 5AT.

When Mark Birley opened the club – named after his wife, the Marquess of Londonderry’s daughter, Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart, who was later married to Sir Jimmy Goldsmith – swinging London was still largely posh London.
It was the year of the Profumo affair and the Beatles’ first number one – “an extraordinary time to be in London,” said Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue, in last year’s Ridley Scott documentary about Annabel’s, A String of Naked Lightbulbs.
To begin with, no one expected it to be the stonking success it became (Annabel’s was bought by Caring in 2007 for £95m, in a deal that included four other members’ clubs).
In recent years, that original spirit has migrated a few hundred yards south, to 5 Hertford Street, the members’ club set up by Robin Birley in 2012 after he was dismissed from Annabel’s by Birley père, who was upset at the less-than tasteful types the club had been attracting (reality TV stars among them).
As the new rich capital of the world, London is big enough for two megabucks nightclubs, however vast the new Annabel’s turns out to be.
