Crown London Aspinalls (or Aspinall's) is a private gambling club, established by John Aspinall in London since the 1960s. Crown London Aspinalls is currently at 27–28 Curzon Street, Mayfair, London.[1]
History[edit]
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 consisted mostly of successful aristocrats who gambled a high part of their 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.[citation needed]
John Aspinall 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.
