The Ivy, opened by Abele Giandolini, as an unlicensed Italian cafe in 1917 in a building on the same site.

Since 2008 there has been a private members' club on the three floors above the restaurant, with a hidden entrance via an adjacent flower-shop, so exclusive it seems not to have a website, just a puff in the FT.
