Big and impersonal, but good facilities, including one of the best swimming pools in London.

The RAC is very much a posh old boys club, with the usual pomp and dress codes you'd expect from such an establishment. Whilst it feels like stepping into a past era, their facilities are also much better than some of the other clubs on Pall Mall as they have a pool in the basement and a beautiful outside terrace for summer wining and dining. The library is an excellent spot to get some quiet work done - it does get a bit chilly in the winter but staff can usually be cajoled into lighting the fires for you.
If you've never crossed the threshold, you should sniff out a member for an invite to dinner sometime - it's worth going once for the experience.

Impressive! Has been invited for a quick lunch with colleagues. Can't say the prawn sandwich in the bar was great but the rest gives you wow impressions

The Royal Automobile Club is a home from home and a welcome oasis in the centre of town.
The facilities are excellent with probably the best pool and Turkish Baths in London. Several excellent restaurants (The Great Gallery is superb) and a variety of extremely opulent rooms; service throughout is generally world-class and faultless, the Club and fellow members make membership a pleasure.
In addition to the swimming pool and Turkish baths, the sports area includes some of the nation's best squash courts (including one of only a handful of doubles courts), fully equipped gym, weights and aerobics rooms, with state of the art equipment and private trainers.
Compared to some of the stuffier and more "establishment" gents clubs, the RAC's membership is a broad church - which I think is a distinct advantage. The food and drink is on another level compared to most private clubs and the Club regularly hosts visiting chefs from the finest restaurants around the world.
The Club has excellent guest rooms which are superb value for members or guests and in addition to the Pall Mall Club House, there is a superb country house in Woodcote Park, which has two 18 hole golf courses and a wide range of sporting facilities and events for all tastes.
For members there are many activity sections covering most sports and past times - and the events team packs a busy top notch events schedule offering a wide range of unique events and experiences for all.
For those who travel, there are reciprocal arrangements with some of the finest private members clubs around the world.

Beautiful, luxurious and classical with a sports car parked in the foyer to set the automotive tone. How do they get it in ? Reports of the pool sound wonderful.

My first date in London was here and it is everything I would (as a newbie to London) imagine a traditional, British, member's club to look like. It felt like stepping into a past era, with portraits of 'important' looking gentleman in front of automobiles back in the 1800's.
Exploring the entire place, from room to room, felt like Alice in Wonderland (the British version). They had a library filled with Lonely Planet, and quality paper and pen to write notes on. Complete with fireplace, this room was my favourite. Aside from the typical restaurents and bars, they also had cigar selections, outdoor terraces, Turkish baths, pools etc. It is definitely somewhere you should try and experience once. As far as members clubs go, I think it would be a lovely one to join, as it is big enough to fly under the radar, and has baths and pools that you can actually use (versus just going to socialise).
Definitely a memorable first date because of the place (more than the person).

The interior is beautiful but this is a private club, so unless you're a guest you wouldn't be able to explore????
