About us

 
 
The Merit Club started with a feeling I just couldn’t shake - a longing for something more while working in the fast-paced world of corporate life. I needed a space where I could take a breath, reset, and feel inspired when everything felt overwhelming.

Work took up so much of my time, and when I finally had a moment to go out, the events I tried left me feeling disconnected. I wanted to experience the best of London—the culture, the excitement, the hidden gems—but I didn’t know where to start, or who to share it with. Not all my friends were up for a night at the theatre or trying the things I was curious about, and I wished I had people around me who just got it.

That’s when I thought - what if there was a space designed to bring like-minded women together? A place where we could explore, connect, and make meaningful memories—without the usual hefty price tag of a private members club?

London can feel like the most vibrant city in the world, but it can also feel isolating. So, in my search for a sense of belonging, I built what I was missing most - a welcoming community full of opportunities to experience, grow, and connect.

For women, like me, who want to share unforgettable experiences with people who truly understand them.
For women who love a touch of luxury but believe it shouldn’t cost the earth.
For women who dream of growing, thriving, and achieving more - together.

Because life is too short for ordinary moments. Let’s make more of them meaningful, beautiful, and inspiring -together.
— Krisztina, The Merit Club founder

What is The Merit Club?

The Merit Club is a social and lifestyle members' club for kind, intelligent, and curious women.

It’s a space designed for those who seek more from life and want to connect with like-minded women to expand their horizons.

How are we different?

We are not a ‘Women in Business’ network, but for women from all walks of life!

So affordable for what it is, without compromising on quality and style

No superficial networking here, we are about building real connections and making friends over business.

We are for all women - single, married, mother, business owner, corporate climber… You don’t have to be any, or can be all!

 

We get it…


 

We are busy, hardly have time for ourselves, let alone EXPLORING NEW THINGS AND making interesting connections with like-minded women!


It is how modern society is. Excel at work, keep fit, meet family and friends, discover new places.. But how do you manage to squeeze in ‘me’ time and keep on top of everything?

Here at The Merit Club we accept it all and thought hard about saving you time and helping you find sources of personal discovery. To discover new meaningful ways to spend your time outside of work while meeting with amazing women!

Your Merit membership is the sparkle to your work week, the pop of colour in your social diary. To nourish your own personal development and curiosity.

 

How we do it?

Every month we bring you new experiences, things to try and events to attend.

KRISZTINA

Founder and boss of all things Merit Club. She never stops talking about and discovering new things for Merit, but when she finally does, she loves being in nature, hiking or venturing to new cities.

NEEMA

Neema joined The Merit Club team in October 2023, helping to organise events, manage our community messaging, and now regularly hosting! When she’s not bringing her high energy to our events, she’s lifting weights at the gym, cooking, or finding any excuse to hit the dance floor.

Fun fact: She often hosts right after a workout, so expect an extra boost of enthusiasm, energy, and pep!

JEN

Jennifer moved from Ireland to London in 2019 driven by a love of writing and cinema (and yes to try and see some of her favourite actors IRL!). When she's not writing the weekly Merit Club newsletter you'll find her with friends, at a film festival or wandering around an art gallery. She's obsessed with Twin Peaks, Tate coffee and, as a woman with mild Cerebral Palsy, writes many words about disability in hopes that others will feel less alone.

NATI

Nati is one of The Merit Trips duo and a seasoned traveller. She has a deep appreciation for good food made with fresh ingredients. Nati has a passion for movement, especially surfing, which she finds equally frustrating and satisfying. She has had many careers, but apart from travelling and food, she is passionate about psychology and human behaviour.
