The Ned is a private members club and hotel located in the former Midland Bank headquarters at 27 Poultry in the City of London. The building was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1924, featuring a grand banking hall with 92 African verdite columns, a barrel-vaulted ceiling, and extensive marble and bronze detailing. The property was converted into a club and hotel by Soho House founder Nick Jones in partnership with the Sydell Group, opening in 2017.
The Ned contains 252 hotel bedrooms across nine floors, along with ten restaurants and bars, a rooftop pool and terrace, a spa, a gym, a boxing ring, and the original bank vault which has been converted into a bar and late-night lounge. The ground-floor banking hall houses multiple open-plan restaurants offering cuisines ranging from British to Asian, Mediterranean, and American. The club is distinctive for its sheer scale, occupying over 300,000 square feet of the Lutyens-designed building.
Ned's Club membership provides access to the rooftop pool, members-only floors, the vault lounge, and priority booking at the restaurants. Standard annual membership costs approximately 3,465 pounds, with an under-30 rate of approximately 2,200 pounds. Existing Soho House members receive discounted rates, though the two clubs maintain separate membership structures. The club expanded with a location in New York's NoMad neighborhood in 2022, branded as The Ned NoMad, and a Washington, D.C. location opened at the historic Riggs Bank building.
The Ned is operated by Soho House & Co, the publicly traded hospitality company. The club targets a professional membership base drawn from the City of London's financial, legal, and technology sectors, distinguishing itself from the more creatively oriented Soho House clubs. The building's Grade I listed status ensures the preservation of its Lutyens-era architectural features.
