When Nick Jones, the founder of Soho House & Co, first saw the City's disused building in 2012, he fell in love. 'The property had been empty for nearly eight years but there was something about it – the details and scale of it – that just floored me,' Jones explains. The moment he left, he called Ron Burkle, Soho House chairman and investor. 'Ron came to view the building and straight away we began to imagine how the project would take form,' says Jones. Jones was immediately inspired by Lutyens' masterpiece at 27 Poultry – all 29,450 square metres of it. 'It was the most beautiful building I'd ever seen,' says Jones. ‘The City is as busy as Soho and much better looking; it's the capital's engine room for commerce but also has more than its fair share of culture for one square mile.’ The Ned includes private members’ club Ned’s Club and a private events floor, alongside ten restaurants and 250 bedrooms which are available to the public. The Ned is expanding in summer 2022 to include The Ned NoMad in New York. Each property is slightly different depending on its location, but the ethos of The Ned remains the same; to create a space for like-minded professionals to meet, work and have a good time. Ned’s Club membership gives access to dedicated spaces such as members-only bars and restaurants, health clubs and rooftop spaces. The membership team also curates a program of monthly events, ranging from talks with thought leaders to seasonal parties and members’ spaces at festivals. The Ned is part of the Membership Collective Group (MCG), a global membership platform of physical and digital spaces that connects a vibrant, diverse and global group of members. These members use the MCG platform to work, socialize, connect, create and flourish all over the world. SIGN UP FOR NEWS AND OFFERS We’ve got plenty of news, be the first to read all about it.
