Aspinall's
Aspinall's is a private gambling club, the latest of a string established by John Aspinall in London since the 1960s. Aspinall's is currently at 27–28 Curzon Street, Mayfair, London. It is designed by British interior designer Tessa Kennedy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Aspinalls Casino, London )〕
==History==
Club founder John Aspinall (known as "Aspers" to his friends) was a conservationist and the stepson of Sir George Osborne. He was a breeder of wild animals and funded his zoos, to a large extent, from house winnings. In its earlier days, Aspinall's clientele mostly comprised successful aristocrats and their children who gambled part of high incomes, or in a few cases a high proportion of their wealth. The gradual decline in wealth and estates of most English landed gentry has led to the clientele becoming more reflective of the current make-up of Mayfair's residents.
Aspinall's evaded major public recognition until the 1970s. Lord Lucan was a close friend of John Aspinall and regular gambler. Lucan's unresolved disappearance in late 1974 led to major free publicity: John Aspinall commissioned a bust of Lucan which remains displayed prominently.
