SOHO House has halted plans to open its first Scottish location in Glasgow.

The private members' club was set to move into the former Parish Halls on George Street and had secured a provisional premises license from the licensing board.

It had already teased the opening date, earmarked for later this year.

An email shared with members on Friday evening scrapped that possibility, however, as first reported by GlasgowWorld.

It read: “I wanted to let you know that sadly we will no longer be opening a Soho House in Glasgow at the former Parish Council Chambers and Collectors Hall.

“We have been working hard on this development for the last three years with the aim of opening in 2024, but unfortunately it’s become clear that the House cannot be completed within the timeline we had anticipated.

“Limitations also meant that we couldn’t accommodate everything that our members would expect from a Soho House in Glasgow.

"For example, in addition to spaces for eating, drinking and relaxing, it’s clear that fitness is also a priority to members and our plans for the existing site didn’t include amenities such as a gym, that we now believe a Soho House needs to have.

“We love Glasgow for its creative energy and talent, although this is a really unfortunate setback, we remain certain that the city is the right place for a Soho House in Scotland.”

A membership that allows access to Soho House clubs around the world is currently priced at £1300 per year for members under 27 and £2750 for those over 27.
