These facilities can be arranged to suit any occasion from social or private business functions to wedding receptions. The Club is generally closed on weekends, but is open to accommodate luncheons, dinners, receptions and weddings for a minimum food and beverage spend set out overleaf. There is an opening fee rather than a room charge on these occasions. Our Main Lounge is a very warm and inviting room to hold a cocktail party or reception for up to one hundred fifty people. The magnificent Group of Seven artwork hung on golden pine walls adds to the overall impressive nature of the room. The President’s Suite and Lawren Harris Lounge is the perfect spot to hold a private meeting, lunch or dinner for a group of twenty-four or less and receptions of up to fifty people. Lawren Harris was a member of our club and we proudly display some of his fine art on these walls. Although more intimate in size, these rooms still offer simple elegance. The FitzGerald Room is a perfect room for a board meeting or theatre style presentation and can be combined with the President’s Suite and Lawren Harris Lounge to provide you with a very convenient facility for seminar or mini-conference. It also provides another elegant space for smaller lunch or dinner events up to eighteen people. The Library with its soaring ceiling and beautiful Georgian architectural features and view over University Avenue is the perfect setting for almost any occasion though only available on the weekends as part of larger functions.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’S Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827. Clubs in St. James Square were: The East India Club, est. 1849 and Pratt’s, est. 1857.

  • APPENDIX I the Carlton Club Meeting, 19 October 1922
    APPENDIX I The Carlton Club Meeting, 19 October 1922 This appendix lists the vote at the Carlton Club Meeting of all Conservative M.P.s It is based on a list in the Austen Chamber­ lain Papers (AC/33/2/92), and has been checked against public statements by the M.P.s of their votes at the meeting. In two cases the public statements disagreed with Chamberlain's list. They were Sir R. Greene (Hackney North) and C. Erskine-Bolst (Hackney South). Chamberlaine's list said that Greene supported the Coalition, while Erskine-Bolst opposed it. The two men indicated that they had the opposite opinion, and their votes may have been transposed in Chamberlain's list. The appendix gives information on the attitude of Conserva­ tive M.P.s towards the Coalition before the Carlton Club Meet­ ing, and it also lists some M.P.s who were present but who according to Chamberlain did not vote. R. R. James, using a different source, published a list of the M.P.s voting at the Carlton Club (Memoirs Of A Conservative, 130-3). He gave the total vote as 185 opponents of the Coalition, and 88 supporters, and he lists 184 opponents of the Coalition. M.P.s who were listed differently from Chamberlain's accounting were: H. C. Brown (Chamberlain, anti; James, absent) C. Carew (Chamberlain, absent; James, pro) G. L. Palmer (Chamberlain, absent; James, anti) H. Ratcliffe (Chamberlain, absent; James, pro) 222 THE FALL OF LLOYD GEORGE N. Raw (Chamberlain, absent; James, anti) R. G. Sharman-Crawford (Chamberlain, anti; James, absent) R.

  • Churchill-Room-Lunch-Menu.Pdf
    T H E C H U R C H I L L R O O M Portraits in the Churchill Room At the far end of the dining room Sir Winston Churchill is flanked on the left by his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, and on the right by George Canning. Lord Randolph, who was adored by his son, had a brilliant but brief political career in the 1880s. Canning, one of our greatest Foreign Secretaries, served a shorter term as Prime Minister than anyone else, dying in August 1827 after only fourth months in office. At the opposite end of the dining room, Her Majesty The Queen is flanked by copies of two portraits by the famous painter, Sir Thomas Lawrence. Lord Castlereagh, on the left, preceded Canning as Foreign Secretary and was equally famous, though utterly different in his policies; the two men loathed each other. The portrait on the right of The Queen is of Sir Robert Peel, founder of the Metropolitan Police, who became leader of the Conservative Party in 1834 and served as Prime Minister from 1841 to 1846. The two other paintings in the room are of Joseph Chamberlain (wearing his trademark orchid) and Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Chamberlain, a powerful Colonial Secretary, was leader of his own Liberal Unionist Party for many years; it merged with the Conservatives in 1912. The Boer War broke out during his period in office; Roberts, one of the greatest Victorian military commanders, brought Britain victory in it.

Historically, it has been relatively quiet and has been a unique environment, with St James’s Palace, the clubs, traditional specialist shops and many other listed buildings. The increase in large offices, restaurants and bars has brought intolerable noise and unwelcome footfall from the neighbouring West End. Forty years ago, Leicester Square had high quality restaurants and clubs and its deterioration has been brought about by the same factors now attacking historic St James’s. Purposes of the Trust 1. To promote high standards of planning and architecture in, or affecting, the area. 2. To secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historic, or public interest, in the area. 3. To maintain the character and atmosphere of the area, with its social fabric, collection of ancient shops and gentlemen’s clubs. 4.To educate the public in the geography, history, natural history and architecture of

  • The Reform Club: Architecture and the Birth of Popular Government Transcript
    The Reform Club: Architecture and the birth of popular government Transcript Date: Tuesday, 25 September 2007 - 12:00AM THE REFORM CLUB: ARCHITECTURE AND THE BIRTH OF POPULAR GOVERNMENT Peter Marsh It is a great honour to be asked to provide a short historical introduction to the existing work that Paul Vonberg is doing, designing and carrying through the renewal of the Reform Club building. The Reform Club, the building, is a great stage in the theatre of politics. It often reminds me when I am there of the opera houses built at the end of the Eighteenth or beginning of the Nineteenth Century to bring the affluent middle classes into what had hitherto been an aristocratic preserve. In the Great Hall of the Reform Club, merchants from Manchester could literally rub shoulders with Whig Dukes. No one who enters the Reform Club can mistake it for a setting for democracy. The Reform Club was founded as much to control as to promote the popular form of government to which the great Reform Act of 1832 gave rise. The great Reform Act was breathtakingly radical for its time, and it was breathtakingly radical in order to be the last Reform Act. Yet in no sense that it was the first - to think of that would be failure. It widened the franchise to embrace the whole of the propertied middle class, in an attempt to resist the demands of the Birmingham political union and leader of the Chartists for the enfranchisement of all adult males - no one was so daring as to think of women.
