As you step through the door, you’re greeted by a newly acquired George Stubbs painting above the Edwardian clock familiar to longtime members of the Mark Club. Old Master works have been a staple of the décor since the club opened in the 1970s; Mark Birley’s father, Oswald Birley, was also a respected artist, known for his portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, Winston Churchill and many others. The adjoining lounge embodies Mark Birley’s “relaxed” yet “mixed” style, as Caring puts it, where guests can linger over Bellinis in Murano glasses and vintage martinis before or after dinner. The fireplace above was discovered during the renovation and now anchors the room.
Perhaps most impressive, however, is the renovated ground floor. Caring has chosen to open it up completely – the Living Room opens into the Dining Room, which then opens into the Conservatory – so that it all “hits you at once” as you enter the George Stubbs-lined foyer. It is this floor – now flooded with daylight – where the Mark’s Club silver service will be realised in its most perfect form: think Imperial Beluga and côte de boeuf paired with fresh Champagne and aged Claret, then a Shropshire Blue and sauterne board. Caring concludes that Birley “created a
home” when he opened the Mark’s Club – a home that makes visitors feel like they’ve “stepped back in time”. Caring’s particular genius? Combining the club’s traditional charm with its contemporary polish so deftly.
Birley, Caring says, was “completely unique” in his vision, with the Mark Club now restored to the timeless feel it had during his early years: “classic”, of course, but also “mixed” and “comfortable”. In practical terms, that means the interiors – modernised by designer Tino Zervudachi in 2016 – are once again country-house-style. Take the Private Dining Rooms, both of which have been completely transformed: while the Country Room’s florals are complemented by gilt-framed Alfred Wheeler paintings of hounds and terriers, the Portrait Room’s crimson walls are hung with a constellation of Georgian aristocratic portraits.
