In 1963, he founded Annabel's, a private members' club in Berkeley Square, Mayfair, named after his then-wife, Lady Annabel Goldsmith. The club quickly became a favorite among celebrities, royalty, and the British elite.
Following the success of Annabel's, Birley went on to establish several other exclusive venues:
