TROUBLE

If you’ve ever investigated members clubs in London and felt a little… underwhelmed, you’re not alone. Too often, they promise exclusivity but deliver awkward small talk, rigid rules, and a sense that you’re meant to fit into the space (rather than the space fitting around you!) The Trouble Club is different. And once you experience it, it’s hard to unsee just how different it really is.

At its heart, The Trouble Club isn’t about status or scene-setting. It’s about community. Real, thoughtful, curious community — the kind that invites you in, challenges your thinking, and leaves you feeling more connected than when you arrived.

Community Over Convention

What sets The Trouble Club apart from other members clubs in London is its commitment to meaningful connection. This is a space built for conversation, not performance. Our events are designed to encourage discussion, debate, and reflection, rather than passive listening or forced networking over a glass of lukewarm Sauvignon. Members don’t just attend events; they actively take part in them. Whether that’s through intimate dinners, thought-provoking talks or shared conversations that spill out long after the evening ends, the focus is always on creating a community where people feel seen, heard, and valued. That sense of connection is one of the key benefits of The Trouble Club. It’s not about collecting contacts; it’s about building relationships.

For Women that have Proper Conversations

While The Trouble Club is often mentioned alongside women-only members clubs, it resists simple labels. Women’s voices are centred here, but the ethos is inclusive, diverse, and open-minded. This is a space where women are encouraged to lead conversations, share insight, and challenge norms, without the pressure to present a polished version of themselves. The result: discussions that feel honest, layered and refreshingly real. Instead of exclusivity, the emphasis is on inclusion. Instead of hierarchy, there’s curiosity. And instead of surface-level inspiration, members are invited to engage deeply not just with ideas, but with one another and themselves.

The Benefits Go Beyond the Event Itself

The Trouble Club experience doesn’t stop when the chairs are stacked away. One of the most valuable benefits of membership is the ongoing sense of connection it creates. Members gain access to early-bird and discounted tickets to events, intimate dinners and curated discussions, a members group chat where ideas continue to flow, access to recorded talks and podcasts, and opportunities to share their own work, projects, and ideas. It’s this combination of inspiration, challenge, and genuine connection that makes The Trouble Club unlike any other members club in London.

Expanding the Conversation: Manchester and Beyond

Now, The Trouble Club is entering an exciting new chapter. With its expansion beyond London and into Manchester, the club is recognising that powerful conversations don’t belong to one postcode. Manchester — a city known for bold thinking, creativity, and cultural influence — is the perfect place for Trouble’s next evolution. Leading this new chapter is Alicia Torres, the new host of The Trouble Club, Manchester. Having been part of the London community herself, Alicia brings both a deep understanding of Trouble’s ethos and a clear vision for what’s next. With exciting events planned, Alicia is set to build a northern community rooted in the same values: inclusive conversation, diverse voices, and spaces that inspire and challenge in equal measure.

Why The Trouble Club Still Stands Apart

In a world overflowing with memberships, events and promises of “connection,” The Trouble Club continues to stand out because it delivers something rare: a sense of belonging that feels intelligent, inclusive, and alive. This isn’t a member’s club you join to be seen. It’s one you join to think, to feel, and to connect. And that’s exactly why The Trouble Club remains unlike any other members club in London — or beyond.
