The Handlebar Club | London

​

​

The Heron is proud to be the home of the internationally renowned Handlebar Club. This famous London moustache club moved here after the closure of the Windsor Castle in 2016 and now meets on the first Friday of every month.

​

Founded in April 1947 in the dressing room of comedian Jimmy Edwards at The Windmill Theatre in London, the Handlebar Club began with ten founder members, including Jimmy Edwards, Raymond Glendenning and Frank Muir. It quickly became a celebrated gentlemen’s club for handlebar moustache wearers. The original meeting minutes show that, despite the “goodly number” of founders, they were outnumbered by chorus girls, adding to the club’s legendary place in London’s social history.

​

The purpose of the Handlebar Club was, and still is, to bring together moustache wearers socially (with beards strictly prohibited) for sport, camaraderie and conviviality, while supporting worthy charities and causes, especially those linked to ex-servicemen and children’s charities. Today, that charitable spirit continues, with members raising funds and awareness through events, gatherings and social occasions held at The Heron.

​

Membership of the Handlebar Club is famously selective, with just one key requirement: “a hirsute appendage of the upper lip with graspable extremities” ..... in other words, a true handlebar moustache, with beards absolutely forbidden.
