The entry criteria? You must be a Beefeater or, officially, *deep breath*: Yeomen Warder of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Member of the Sovereign's Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary.
It might not be the easiest title to fit on your LinkedIn profile, but it does allow you exclusive access to The Yeoman Warders Club — a pub set within the walls of the Tower of London itself.
