About
The Frontline Club is a vibrant media hub located at 13 Norfolk Place in London’s Paddington district, housed in a three‑storey Victorian coach house. Founded in 2003 by former cameraman Vaughan Smith, the club gathers journalists, photographers, writers and media enthusiasts to discuss current affairs, host screenings, and run workshops in a relaxed, wood‑lined space. With a full‑time membership programme, a licensed restaurant, and a 12‑room annex for accommodation, the Frontline Club offers a unique blend of intellectual conversation, cultural events and community support for the freelance press worldwide. Nearly 200 events a year—featuring figures such as Julian Assange, Tim Hetherington and many other high‑profile journalists—make it a must‑visit for anyone interested in media, international affairs, or press freedom.
