Carly Madhvani’s Social Edit: Her Members’ Clubs, Up Close
Why Keep Knocking on Closed Doors
From hushed privacy to lively dj sets in the bar; clubs offer impeccable taste, great fun and infinite possibility.
Private members’ clubs have long been a cornerstone of London’s social scene. They offer more than just a space to meet friends or network. For Carly Madhvani, membership in these exclusive clubs provides a unique combination of privacy, curated social connections, and enriching experiences that enhance both her professional and personal life. From intimate dinners and creative collaborations. To events that attract some of the city’s most interesting personalities, members’ clubs offer a refined environment where conversation, opportunity, and community thrive.
BALEARIC LONDON
Born In London, Built For The World
At the core of Balearic is incredible food, drink, music. But most importantly, people!
Balearic is a nomadic private members’ club (Balearic LDN). It’s also an events and entertainment agency (Bohemia), an Independent record label (Balearic Records), and a bespoke consultancy (Balearic Consultancy) wrapped into one. People and experiences at the heart of everything they do.
They have curated members’ supper clubs and wellness breakfasts with their own private Balearic chef. They run iconic house parties in some of London’s most spectacular locations, private events for the discerning few, to community led cab sessions with world renowned DJs performing live from the roof of their taxi. The list goes on.

THE ROOF GARDENS
100 Feet Above The Streets
For Carly, The Roof Gardens isn’t just a spectacular rooftop in Kensington, it’s a place to unwind, connect, and soak in a slice of London glamour. Set 100 feet above the streets of Kensington, The Roof Gardens is an iconic London landmark with private gardens and spectacular views across London.
The Roof Gardens is one of those rare London spots that feels both effortlessly glamorous and completely personal. Tucked above Kensington High Street, the lush gardens and sweeping skyline make it a favourite for quiet dinners, creative catch-ups, or a late-evening cocktail with friends who appreciate the beat of the city. It’s exactly why Carly keeps coming back season after season.
