The Gym and Tonic Club
What would happen if the City of London became a tax haven like the French principality of Monaco? Would the City develop similar subsidiary industries to support the resultant luxury lifestyles? The Gym & Tonic Club responds to the billion pound bonus culture of the City by providing a venue to host the events of the super-rich sporting calendar. It is situated within the City itself, along the banks of the Thames. The proposal explores the relationship between participation and observation; winning and losing; risk and gain, present within the arena of high profile sports.
