The Frontline Club

The Frontline Club FRONTLINE CLUB | CHAMPIONING INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM Frontline Club is a gathering place for journalists, media & their friends.

Founded by Vaughan Smith from his 90s news agency “Frontline Television News”, it was created to support freelance journalism and champion the safety of those who did this as their life’s work. We are a members club, with a public restaurant on the ground floor with private dining and busy events space on the top floor with interesting weekly events that are open to anyone. The club’s very mission is to champion independent journalism and stimulate public discussion of current affairs. As the foreign news industry’s watering hole, we are informal, edgy and relevant. Norfolk place our newly-refurbished public Restaurant (75 cover) delivers casual fine dining, using local meat and ethically sourced produce. Instead of chasing you down the street with a bucket, we fundraise by selling food and drink, event ticket sales & member bedroom hires & of course by the recruitment of membership that enrich our ever growing community, that as we say in the Club, helps us keep fighting the good fight!

**SOLD OUT*** Monday 21st Sep 2026, 19.00 at the Frontline Club The Guardian's senior international correspondent Luke Harding talks about his new book Betrayal: Trump, Putin and the New Age of Conquest with the investigative journalist and The Nerve co-founder Carole Cadwalladr.
Betrayal chartsthe dramatic collapse of the post-1945 international system. The agreement that nations do not change borders by force is under attack, not just from Russia but from America, too. Donald Trump has threatened to seize Greenland and bombed Iran as part of a violent remaking of the Middle East. Vladimir Putin's bloody imperial campaign to erase Ukraine and redraw Europe's map continues. Meanwhile, China eyes up Taiwan.
Written in a thrilling style, Betrayal reports from across the globe during an extraordinary era. Luke Harding visits villages in eastern Ukraine under Russian bombardment, talks to Greenlanders about a US takeover and sits down with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. There are new revelations about Oleg Voloshyn, the alleged spy for Russia, who bribed Reform's now jailed former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill. The event will offer an essential guide to brutal Great Power politics and how it came back.

Two reporters spent six years inside it.
Not the megachurches.
The donor networks.
The legal foundations.
The plan.

Katherine Stewart and Keri Ladner have each written a book on America's Christian far right. Tomorrow night they sit down with Oxford historian Anthea Butler and explain how a religious movement became a political operating system.

And why Britain is next on the map.

On 11 September 2001, the world changed in ways that could not yet be understood.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the thousands of lives lost, the courage of those who ran towards danger, and the countless lives forever shaped by what followed.

To remember is not to live in the past. It is to recognise the value of every life, the cost of hatred, and our shared responsibility to build something better from the lessons of history.

We remember. #911

🔎 UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: FOLLOWING THE MONEY

How are Western donors funding the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank?

An undercover investigation by Al Jazeera reveals how pro-settler organisations allegedly exploit charity systems in the UK and Canada to channel tax-deductible donations towards projects supporting Israeli settlements — despite legal restrictions on such funding.

Secretly filmed meetings reveal claims that donations can be used for settlement expansion, campaigns to demolish Palestinian homes, security equipment for settlers, and other activities linked to the occupation.

The investigation also raises serious questions about charity due diligence, donor accountability and the effectiveness of Western oversight.

In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, all united by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and ‘Western imperialism’. Their audacious attacks brought governments to their knees and glued nations to their TV screens.

Drawing on decades of research, declassified and secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. In this underground realm of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to radical change at any cost, he reveals the dark origins of our fractured world today.

***SOLD OUT*** Tonight Tuesday 21st July 2026 Screening PLUS TALK Manosphere as we welcome back Louis Theroux!
Louis investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influence.

Louis immerses himself in the online communities, influencers, and belief systems that make up the modern “manosphere” a complex and often controversial digital ecosystem shaping contemporary ideas around masculinity, power, and identity.

With his trademark curiosity and calm interrogation, Louis engages directly with figures at the heart of the movement to understand why these spaces have gained such influence and what they reveal about the world we live in today.
