Mmmm jury's out on this one. I'm a big fan of the Soho House empire - SH, Electric, Electric Cinema, Babbington are all favourites of mine. They all offer well designed spaces with the focus on luxury with a touch of uniqueness. But venue is one thing, clientele is another. SH locations have always had a 'them & us' air about them- but they're just about bearable when the venue is populated by creatives & media types. With the Chiswick catchment area of bankers, lawyers & estate agents you get far too many middle-class wannabes who like to look out and gloat. Shame as the venue's contemporary design is a refreshing addition to the High Road. Food is always good (breakfast/brunch excellent), but on the expensive side. Just try & ignore the Hedge Fund Managers!
