Tom, I really enjoy your presentations, most of the time I watch them from my work shop building vintage cars..... so no gentleman, however I love the fine luxury and nice things that you introduce to us, in my case often for the first time. Thank you.
“…on a rainy London street…”. You could tell that was Mayfair as soon as the image appeared. Hell,, I could smell that it was Mayfair before I clicked play.
Yet another very beautiful thing to add to my bank account-breaking list of gorgeousness, as compiled by the world, according to “The Rake”.
What a great episode! Learning about Harry's Bar and its origins and also including a free culinary lesson too! Pleas dont ever stop producing these wonderful gems!
Love this series! Thank you so much for the cooking lesson. Please keep A Gentleman's London coming!
What a fun episode. Lovely to see a little of Harry’s. I eagerly await the Bath & Racquets Club episode! Well done on the pasta/sauce making.
I can’t cook, but I think even I could learn this simple dish to impress my friends and family :)
Thank you for this episode.
PS The three piece suit is a work of art. Impeccable.
What a great episode. Very entertaining.
Peter Arno New Yorker Cartoons - Delightful Touch!
I love Luciano 's suit. He looks very well put together.
Brilliant film and thank you for sharing
I had the great pleasure of frequenting Annabel’s at 44 Berkeley Square
Great times
Awesome video! That's a easy dish to mess up, but you did a stonking job, cheers 🍷
These videos are getting thousands of views but the “likes” are in the hundreds. People, PLEASE like the videos. It might seem silly but it’s very important in the channel promotion. This channel deserves at least 100,000 subscribers. Currently it’s just under 50K, which is an improvement. It is growing. But we, the viewers, must do our best to promote it.
I always 'like', comment, and share on Facebook.
Don't beg, it looks needy and so unattractive. The channel will do just fine without your begging for likes. No offence
This happens because people are lazy! It is easier to just watch but it takes an effort to click the like button (!)
@@EDStudio7 very true.
Likes by coersion are not true likes. They can only be earned authentically. No channel 'deserves' anything!
Thank you gentlemen for a fantastic video
A cracking suit Tom, properly sized and tailored for your frame. Wish I was able to pop in here for a cocktail on my upcoming October visit but am not a member so Duke's it will have to be. Great channel indeed.
Just beautiful action of welcoming
All the way from Venice. Orson loved the little prawn pasties there.
What an absolutely brilliant video Tom. The length was perfect, and the subject was a revelation. Such a fabulous looking club, with the most wonderful host. The cookery lesson was an extra bonus, well done on your first steps to being a culinary master. Btw, I loved your little comment where you mentioned 'viewer', made me think of Mr Foulkes's favourite line.
Loving the classic suit
A marvelous insight to a world that I don't belong. (neither connected or educated).
In application, you need to be proposed and seconded by two existing members. (Groucho comes to mind).
Then, getting past all that and finding this on the menu...
COURGETTE FLOWER
Fried courgette flowers,
truffled honey, mint, pine nut salad
and lemon ricotta
£9.95
"I wouldn't join any club that would accept me as a member"
It's a brave man who wears a pale suit to his virgin foray into table side service. Bravo, Tom!
What a great episode and I exactly want that pasta 😻
Superb gentlemen truly a good episode
Bravo!!!
Fantastic episode…looks so much more inviting than Harrys bar in Venice….I take it the pasta had been cooked already
I respect his honesty about the dry pasta 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always enjoy the longer episodes
Wonderful! So now I just need to find a proposer and seconder.
Love your videos , although I am a million miles away from being a gentleman , I’m planning a trip to London to take in some of these places, maybe he a shave and buy some cologne then a drink at Harry’s
The only difference between a gentleman and one who is not it that a gentlemen acts like one. Give it a try.
Stylistically, it can be very difficult (expensive) to do... but where it matters most, in who you are and how you carry yourself... that it what makes a true gentleman. I like a lot of what Hugo Jacomet has to say about what it is to be a true gentleman, it more focuses on the internals; you can find him if you search of 'Sartorial Talks' or 'Parisian Gentleman'. I would find the video 'Being a Gentleman in 2024'.
Greetings,
So, one has be a paid member to dine in this establishment in London? There was not a membership in Venice.
Cheers🍷
I'm banned from the one on Venice owing to an incident with a motorboat and a nun but not been to the London one.
You killed the pasta! Mamma-mia! :-(
Itsa ok! He a knows it!
My great great grandfather was a gentleman in London I am now trying to learn about him where he lived and him as a gentleman..
I'm more distracted by the chain from his lapel, what is it and why? Is not a pocket watch, is it glasses or a monocle?
Neither. It’s a Dunhill lighter from the 1950s
I feel like he is interviewing that bottle of mineral water...
Do you possibly mean: I feel he is interviewing that bottle of mineral water. Why use 'like'? Are you a Kardashian?
I suppose bars are extremely important to some.
It’s a private club so I guess there’s not so much they can say
*shhhhhhh....it's a secret!*
Are you related to the our former prime minister Arthur Neville Chamberlain ? I’ve often wondered that .
Time and Temperature...
You are aware that your into says episode 14 but title is 15 just thought I would let you know 😅
Im sorry if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you are wearing white stockings...or not?
Interbred
Effete perhaps
🥱
Embracing another chap? How Continental
I’m disappointed . I thought it would be about Harry Metcalfe .
Hardly a bustling street. 😂 And he claims it’s better than the original in Venice? Clearly sir, you’ve never been there otherwise you wouldn’t dream of saying such slander.
Chudder
Daft
The guy on the left is phoney, the guy on the right is stoned!
Maybe he’s not a member and doesn’t know the club so well
I didn't enjoy this one as the others. The length is fine but not really looking for a cooking show. Would have prefered more info on the history and culture around members only dinner clubs, as it is not well known in North America.
I love your videos, but may I make a suggestion? It would be wonderful if you could make a video about Koopman Rare Art, the silver/jewellery dealers now on Dover Street. Their new premises are outstanding and the directors Timo Koopman and Lewis Smith are super friendly and eager to share their knowledge.
