Police shut exclusive Mayfair members’ club over ‘public safety’ fears

The exclusive Mayfair members' club Maison Estelle has been temporarily closed by police due to safety concerns. The closure, which will last for at least 28 days, was prompted by reports of serious crime or disorder at the venue. Sarah Ferguson, Kim Kardashian, and Noel Gallagher are among the celebrity visitors to the club. Maison Estelle, founded by entrepreneur Sharan Pasricha and his wife Eisha Mittal in 2021, offers a wide range of amenities, including four restaurants, 11 bars, and two nightclubs across seven floors in a Grade-1 listed Georgian townhouse.

The club, with a membership fee of nearly £6,000 a year, is known for its strict no-photography policy and lack of dress code. The closure comes after the Metropolitan Police applied to Westminster City Council to suspend the club's license, citing public safety concerns. Both the club and Westminster City Council emphasized the importance of safety and the ongoing cooperation between the parties in reviewing the club's license conditions.
