Nick Jones, Soho House creator, is reinventing the London hotel scene again with St. Clement
A new London hotel
Nick Jones describes St. Clement as his latest case for why London may have room for another hotel. The property sits by the Thames, and he says it has stood out by taking a different approach.
The hotel has become one of the U.K. capital’s most talked-about launches of 2026, attracting people from music, film and fashion. Its official launch is scheduled for September.
Jones’s Soho House legacy
Jones opened the original Soho House in London’s creative district in 1995. Its shabby-luxury style became a model for members’ clubs around the world. He stepped down as CEO in 2022. Since then, the business has faced headlines over crowding, service concerns and the challenge of getting tables.
A high-profile preview
Before the official launch, the Rolling Stones held an album event in St. Clement’s penthouse in July. Around 100 VIP guests, including Daniel Craig and Sacha Baron Cohen, attended.
Guests danced to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and had cocktails on a balcony with views from Big Ben to The Shard. The evening also featured a drone show.
