Whites

White's is London's oldest gentlemen's club, established at 4 Chesterfield Street in 1693 by Italian immigrant Francesco Bianco (AKA "Francis White"). Originally, it was established to sell hot chocolate, a rare and expensive commodity at the time (and the source of its original title of "Mrs. White's Chocolate House"). These "chocolate houses" were seen as hotbeds of dissent by Charles II, but many converted into fashionable and respectable gentlemen's clubs like White's. In 1778, it moved to numbers 37-38 St James's Street, on the east side of the street, where it still presides, and its members are royalty, aristocracy, and noble gentlemen. It remains one of the few men-only clubs. The head chef since 2001 is Martin Green, whose 30 years' experience includes The Hyde Park Hotel, The Connaught Hotel, Mayfair, and The St David's Hotel and Spa, Cardiff. The daily changing menu offers a mix of classic and contemporary dishes to suit the palate of our discerning clientele.
