Members of the Garrick Club in London's West End have voted to allow women to join the institution.

The all-male private members' club, which was founded in 1831, had been under pressure to admit female members.

On Tuesday, members voted to allow women to join after reconsidering the legal wording surrounding membership.

The head of the civil service Simon Case and the chief of MI6 Richard Moore recently resigned from the club after its membership list was revealed.

So how did this happen? The 蜜芽传媒's Jonny Dymond has been finding out.
