Not those who do, but places it was done.
While doing a computer rebuild for someone today I turned on a scanned the tele (many boring bits in a computer rebuild) and came across the re-runs of "Minder" and of course Daves club. In London and the surrounds we always knew them as "A drinker" a private members club where you could go when "time" was called in the pub, and carry on drinking. Usually under a railway arch, or in a basement, some were allowed by being private members, some by having a supper license (where you had to buy food, usually a sarnie). I was a member of of several, in various parts of Central, South, South West and West London. I was even for a while a member at the infamous Ranelagh Yacht Club.
All gone now, accept one I know in The Clapham/lavender hill environs. The relaxation of licensing laws "dun for 'em"
