M's club, Blade's, recurs in several books (esp. Moonraker), and is clearly based on Fleming's club, Boodle's. (Seen here in the 50s comic strip.) ImageImage
Indeed, readers of my new book may recognise that the front entrance of Boodle's, which inspired the fictional Blade's, was used for the front cover. ImageImage
