The guardian might be left leaning, but specifically, middle/upper middle class in its left leaning-ness.
Another point to note: Soho House, much loved by some of the HN readership, is a private members club.
- prvit 4y agoSoho House is just silly now, I literally know of law firms handing memberships out as an employment perk. So much for being a cool place for creative folks, now they just let everybody in. Also, at least in London the clubs simply suck. 0 atmosphere, even Annabel’s with it’s older crowd and their sugar babes is much more fun.
- NoboruWataya 4y agoI mean, lawyers and creative folk aren't mutually exclusive. Most of the time when lawyers are criticised in the media it's for their "creativity". Surely one of the benefits of being in a club like this is that you get to meet people outside your circle, people who aren't exactly like you. If you want a programmer-only social club, could you not just hang out at the office?
- prvit 4y agoThe whole point of Soho house was to be a place for people working in creative industries. Now that everyone can get in, they’re just boring restaurants with mediocre-at-best food.
