Maggie & Rose is a pioneer in the industry. Dubbed the “Soho House for yummy mummies” by UK newspaper The Sunday Times, the brand has the way for a new model of family-friendly spaces in cities. Very quickly, Maggie & Rose grew to eight global sites — many of which are in China — before her departure in 2019.
With social clubs becoming the new country clubs, UK-based mother of four Maggie Bolger wanted to ensure that children, too, get their own private space to enjoy the benefits of club life.
In 2007, she opened Maggie & Rose, the first-of-its-kind clubhouse in London to provide children with a beautiful and creative space that would also appeal to grown-ups. “I was a member of the social club Soho House in London. But I spent most of my time at home when I had kids. I just thought how cool it would be to have a well-designed space where I could mingle with other mums while still having the kids nearby under one roof. So that’s how it first kind of started,” says 44-year-old Bolger.
