Women's Only Clubs London: Grace Belgravia, The City's First Opens

In London, the first club for women only has been opened and caters to a posh female-only clientele. The private members only club is located in the posh Belgravia area of London, called Grace Belgravia. Outfitted inside a black doorway that is discreet and annual memberships will throw you back a whopping $8,330 plus a $3,000 joining fee, reported CNN.

"Grace is a private club for cultured, caring and health-conscious women who want the very best for their well-being," says Grace's website. "A place to nurture and guide you through seven ages of life from young adulthood through fertility, pregnancy, child rearing, empty nesting, menopause and ageing-well."

Grace aims to take the stress out of the daily life of women and bring "filtered and curated information about the latest must haves, hot tickets, experiences, and invitations," says the website.

Club founder Kate Percival told CNN that women's only clubs are on the rise. There's been a paradigm shift, which means that, increasingly, women are seeking out other women's company," says Percival. "It's not that they don't love their husbands and partners, but they often have deeper conversation with women than men."

Other female-venuse include The Sorority which is a women's business club in London and STK which a chain of U.S. steak restaurants aimed towards women, says Percival.

"Women spend their lives multi-tasking, always putting family and work before their own health," adds Percival to CNN. "They are bad at actually making time to take stock, usually feeling guilty about having 'me' time and giving themselves breathing space.

"Grace was created to put the best of the best under one roof. I wanted to create a place where women could come and feel cared for and be intellectually stimulated."

Also at the club is a spa, restaurant, gym, lounge and food delivery service as well as hair stylists and a medical center which is also open to non members. "Among the roster of experts on call are a cardiologist, dermatologist, nutritionist, psychotherapist, plastic surgeon, acupuncturist and women's health therapist," reported CNN.
