That's correct...the vast majority of those members are not English, actually hardly any...mostly are Arabs, Chinese, Russians and a few Europeans...
I was there earlier today and someone wagered a £250K Plaque on the Roulette Table, that is 250K english pounds which is about $400K US Dollars, and guess what? It was all gone within 30mins...and there were no tears...
Therefore somehow I do not really think they will have any money issues...
In the Mayfair area alone, we have now 6 private clubs with a very high membership fee:
Park Lane
The Ritz
Les Ambassadeous
Playboy Club
Crockfords
Claremont
...they all have been here for a very long time and they are not going anywhere soon...(except for Playboy maybe, as the rumours are it's in the process of been sold to Genting)
