The Buck's Retreat is a gentlemen's club in Soho for a special type of gentleman.
As its owner, Finbar Maddox puts it:
'Well, we're a pretty laid back sort of club, Inspector – our membership wouldn't really feel at home if everything was triple locked and trip-wired. We've got a
similar philosophy to the Groucho Club: kind of urban-ironic – a gentlemen's club for not-quite-gentlemen. We tend to get the bohemian, arty types, albeit slightly
more mature...'

haven in which to enjoy the company of fellow, ironic almost-gentlemen over chess, laconic conversation and fine drinks?
Will Moncrieff yield to the lure of the Buck's retreat?
