British babe Sienna Miller has great taste. The actress hit Soho hot spot “The Groucho Club” last night with pals. If you are not familiar, this venue is a membership only private club.

Opened in 1985 as antidote to the traditional club has now evolved to a “who’s who” crowd. Ironically, the name of the club was inspired by one of Groucho Marx's quips; "I don't want to join a club that will accept me as a member."

Located on Dean Street in Soho, London the club features three bars, a brasserie and formal dining room. Although it’s a private members club the venue does offer various rooms for private events such as parties, weddings and conferences, as well as accommodation for overnight guests, hence, being your only ticket in...unless you happen to be Sienna Miller.
