What they don't say
- The annual membership fee is published nowhere: not the site, not the FAQ, not the SumUp store. Ask membership@lyclondon.com.
- The club's own founding year is not stated; 1983 is the Long Yang Club network, not this club.
Every fact here was checked on 10 September 2026, against 6 sources. Training nights and fees change, so if something is out of date, tell us.
Hear when something new is added.
New clubs, changed training nights, and the occasional weekend. No more than that.
Or come and meet people all at once.
A weekend away with a group of gay men, and nothing to prove.
