Despite 1880’s closure, private members’ club 67 Pall Mall is expanding
It will open in a grand, century-old mansion in Shanghai
[SINGAPORE] Private members’ club 1880 may have suddenly closed and gone into liquidation this week, but that is no dampener for another player here. 67 Pall Mall, which started operating in Singapore from 2022, has just signed a lease to expand to Shanghai – its first Chinese outpost.
The private members’ club with a focus on fine wine will open next year at 7 Donghu Road, in Shanghai’s historic Xuhui district. It will occupy the 100-year-old French Renaissance-style Grand Mansion – or da gongguan – built by British businessman Raymond Joseph.
Grant Ashton, who founded 67 Pall Mall in London in 2015, said that opening a club in Shanghai allows it to connect with the wine community in China, which “has long been one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing wine markets in the world”.
