''Founded by John Aspinall in 1962, the Clermont Club was closed in 2018-03 after 12 years' ownership by Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, the Malaysian billionaire tycoon whose business empire includes the UK's Rank Group. A year later it was acquired by Mayfair Casino Ltd, the owner of the Horizons Casino in Leicester Square. After a year spent carefully refurbishing and restoring the grade I listed Georgian premises, the Clermont Club was due to open in 2020. Covid-19 and the government's mandated closure of UK casinos put paid to those plans, mothballing the casino for two years.
The long-awaited opening in July 2022 appears to also have been short-lived as losses have ballooned during lockdown from £3.6m in 2019 and then £7m in 2020. Mayfair Casino Group closed its online operations business, Mayfair Online Limited, in 2021 and latest set of accounts show the Group, as of March 2022, had net liabilities of £62m, driven by shareholder liabilities of £65m.''
