Membership is hard to obtain and its members are mostly drawn from the media, entertainment, arts and fashion industries. It is known as a haunt of Young British Artists including Damien Hirst , whose behaviour caused him to be banned for periods from the club. The Groucho has rooms on several floors, including two bars, two restaurants (dining room and brasserie), nineteen bedrooms, a billiards room, and four function rooms available for hire. In 2001, the club was purchased by a trio of men, Rupert Hambro , Matthew Freud and Joel Cadbury , for £11.8 million. The new management of the club would see it as having taken a more professional and commercial direction as a result of their involvement, in spite of the fact that the profitability of the operation declined considerably in the years following their acquisition.
