The Story
Origin
Established in 1836 by supporters of parliamentary reform, the club opened its purpose-built Pall Mall home in 1841.
Philosophy
The contemporary club provides a non-political setting for sociability, intellectual exchange and private hospitality.
Why It Matters
It is a major reference for the private clubhouse as a complete architectural and hospitality environment.
Differentiation
The combination of political history, culinary heritage and architectural scale is unusually strong even within London's historic clubland.
Food Philosophy
Dining has occupied an important place since the early tenure of chef Alexis Soyer, whose kitchens helped establish the club's culinary reputation.
Guest Experience
Dining; bedrooms; lectures; concerts; private events.
Design Philosophy
Charles Barry translated the grandeur of an Italian Renaissance palace into a London clubhouse.
Design & Architecture
Architecture
Charles Barry's palazzo-like building is organised around a central saloon.
Design Language
Italian Renaissance-inspired grandeur.
Interior Design
Formal reception, dining and library spaces retain the character of a nineteenth-century institution.
