For Summer 24, we turned to Italy. While musing on our theme, with the help of director and photographer Elena Heatherwick, we encountered one of London’s best kept secrets, to be found at 136 Clerkenwell Road.
Casa Italiana San Vincenzo Pallotti - known to its members as ‘The Club’ - is a historic Italian social club that has been a cornerstone of London's Italian community since its establishment in 1960.
We have been incredibly fortunate that The Club has welcomed us into their world with immense generosity and joy - and helped us to make this film in celebration of their Tuesday lunch club.
We hope our film gives you a sense of how wonderful this space is! But like many of our community institutions, it’s sadly in need of funds.
To help keep The Club’s events affordable for its members, and to help maintain the building, we have set up a prize draw, which you can contribute to or share among your friends by clicking below.
We hope this will ensure that The Club has many years of lunches ahead of it.
