    Has everything inside. Bars, restaurants, gym, squash courts, swimming pool. Lots of sitting rooms to enjoy tea and have your meetings. Certain dress code applies. Service is impeccable.

    Posh and stylish venue that carries with it a sense of old school charm. In the hustle and bustle of London Pall Mall, is this quiet sanctuary with its own basement swimming pool! Great venue for events, but a fair bit of walking up and down to the cloakroom. The place definitely invokes memories of a bygone era. Nostalgic and probably a lot of history is hidden amongst its walls.

    Wow. What a place! Very polite staff. The wine waiter was a really nice chap, just wish I knew his name so I could credit him. Attended the "art of motoring" event. Excellent event.

    The RACist club more like it. Once again yesterday been back there as a guest for an important meeting even though I promised not to set foot back there again. If you have the correct colour skin tone you will be treated with the Royal respect that you deserve. If not then get ready to be treated as a trespasser. Attacked if a member or not Politeness that is described by other reviews goes down the drain. Unbelievably even the actual member as he brought the "non-right" guest was also treated inappropriatly. With insulting phrases and behaviours. Avoid if you don't look English. If you want to see the building which is amazing btw then be prepared and just ignore them.

    Impeccable service here at every part of the club. I am amazed with quality of their restaurants, long bar, club room, and drawing room areas. Exceptional foods and fabulous interiors design in every room here. The lockers and the heated pool are a bit old but the squash courts and gym are excellent. Their fine dining at the Great Gallery is not to be missed if you visit this club. Strict dress code to be adhered here.

    Being a member of The Royal Automobile Club is a great experience. RAC members are treated to one of the best swimming pools in London, great restaurants, good service and all at reasonable prices. Unlike some other Clubs, there are two Clubhouses. The motoring events have been amazing in recent years.

    Very lucky to have been invited here. There was a time when, as a woman, I wouldn't have been able to wander around this very beautiful building. Swimming pool, squash courts and various options to eat and drink with various salons and rooms (plus an outdoor area), to lounge around, have meetings. Apparently there is a different cat in the foyer every month and the walls are adorned with some wonderful art.

    Brilliant venue. My friend is a member of the club and we had our Christmas Dinner at the Brooklands room... The food was amazing. Loved the oysters for starters. Before dinner we played snooker and the gentleman manning that area is a legend.

    Could be the most lavish and spacious club in London, with nice staff and a relaxing vibe.

    It’s a nice place except some terrible services in the great gallery room. The lead staff is obviously racist and caring only for his selected group. He ignored the situation there were flying around our food and didn’t even apologise. Terrible fine dining experience indeed all because of him

  • 5/5 Ed C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning setting, great food and drinks at a very reasonable price for Pall Mall. Every while or so a rare classic car is displayed in the central foyer, with its history alongside. 2 full restaurants and 2 rest/bars and then a full cocktail bar which has great original recipes and the usual suspects with plenty of alcohol. Stunning marble swimming pool, squash courts and more. Outdoor terrace is a real spot of quiet paradise in the hustle and bustle in central london.

    So happy to enjoy a reciprocal Club as a member of the Duquesne Club, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, USA. Lovely club with several drink and dining options. Charming and professional staff offering lovely cocktails and delightful dinner. I felt like I was home!

  • 4/5 Miaad 5 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed a great afternoon tea. Beautiful building. Nice service but could be better. Only down side is that the hall had no air conditioning and with the crowd, it felt so stuffy and warm. There should definitely be some mode of air circulation without opening the windows or doors because the wind is very strong sometimes.

  • 5/5 Steve G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very impressive building and decor. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been entertained at both the Pall Mall and Woodcote elements of the RAC Club in the last month. Both are OUTSTANDING. The food, the service and the surroundings are first class. I attended The Armed Forces Covenant event with The Lord Lieutenant of London, Sir Ken Olisa at the Pall Mall club in Tuesday. That event was brilliantly 007 themed and further enhanced by The RAC Surroundings and service - so good.

  • 5/5 darren m. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. An amazing experience with a really cool car parked in the middle of the hall. Some great parking and kudos for the valet parker who put it there.

  • 5/5 Peter L. 1 year ago on Google
    In the 1990s we were making new flats in the building opposite. We would look through the windows at the RAC Club . We said one day we will go in there. Now all these years later , we were lucky enough to be invited to our mayors charity launch. I can honestly say we were overwhelmed by the architecture the fabulous art work and the curious welcome by the well turned out staff . The food was perfect well served in a professional manner. I would like to maybe make return, as I'm incapacitated with a fractured pelvis . I just need to have the tour that I couldn't complete. In summing up we were all very impressed indeed .

    Landmark London Club for those into cars...good food at reasonable prices & you can stay here quite inexpensively (once you're a member)...worth visiting for the pool alone...Stanley Baxter used to be a regular...I used to come here weekly in the 80's to watch my Arab boyfriend at the time play Squash with Mohammed Al-Fayed...

  • 5/5 BeadSchool - Melanie de M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the reception for our daughter’s wedding at the RAC. What a wonderful, grand venue. The staff were all pleasant and courteous, and provided excellent service. The food was fabulous and the ambience perfect. I loved being able to walk around the terrace and chat with guests before and after the meal. It felt like a lovely oasis in the middle of busy London. The whole thing was absolutely excellent value for money and I’d thoroughly recommend it.
