Touring One Of London's Oldest Clubs | Walking Tour With Simon Cundey

In today's video, Kirby is in London to meet his good friend, Simon Cundey, managing director of Savile Row tailors Henry Poole & Co. Simon, a member of the Royal Automobile Club, one of London's oldest and preeminent gentlemen's clubs, invites Kirby on a tour of its magnificent building, before the two of them head back out into London to walk up Pall Mall and St James's Street, discussing the historic shops along the way, and they make their way up to Savile Row and Henry Poole's shop.

At 10:48. The outdoor sunlight really brings out the true colors in the suit cloths worn by Simon and Kirby.

This oozes class and traditional, old-world gentry.

Another fascinating glimpse into a world where tradition and quality rule. In this throw away world it is heartening to see goods made to last generations.

What makes me proud to be British is how humble these gentlemen are about their craftsmanship.

Simon is in the process of making me a suit. He's a very pleasant man and easy to deal with concerning the fabrication of my suit (I am a very particular client). I look forward to seeing him in two weeks when he and James, his associate come to Los Angeles for their Fall visit and my first fitting of my suit.

Mr Cundy really is a lovely host. Lovely, polite, softly spoken host. A brilliant video Kirby! Opening my eyes up to my own Capital City really is wonderful viewing 👍

What a great man you are Kirby! Thank you so much for opening the doorway to finer things in life which I never knew existed.

I am from the U.K. and have lived in London and I thoroughly enjoyed this, I have been to 4 of the London clubs, The Fly Fishers is lovely, very small and personal, and Whites of course perhaps the most famous.

I have been waiting for a video of this sort(clubland) for a while. Superb quality, on par with a professional documentary!

[meneurb]

Kirby thank you for sharing with us your experience, you are so generous, have a nice day

Great video as usual, Kirby. A couple of things Simon didnt tell you (well, not on camera anyway!) was that the alleyway next to Berry Brothers and Rudd leads to Pickering Place, which is the smallest open public space in London, and was also the site of the last known duel in London. The American Bar at the Savoy even has a cocktail named after it. It also served as the location for what was the texan embassy until it joined the united States, hence the plaque that Simon pointed out! 🙂

I'm English but I've just learnt about the Beadles of London from this American gent's video. Tremendous 😁

So lovely to see the RAC pool again. Haven't been for so many years. Used the pool when I worked in Jermyn Street.

[jimmieakesson]

Well done to you and your team here Kirby. Videography is great, and you are becoming more and more natural in front of the camera. Cheers!

I’m a 30 year old man and you and Eddie Sahakian have got me into cigars. I’m going to have my first this month. Luckily I actually live near(ish) to Davidoffs so I’ll have to stop in there. I hope Eddie is in!

being out of character as a "constipated gentleman" seems like an excruciatingly painful and daunting task.
I respect that effort and you've earned my like !

[Dakshmarwah]

Oh boy what a fantastic video yet again. Kirby your visits to England are an absolute for your viewers. Kudos to your production team aswell 👏🏽
