City of London Club

Historic elegance in the heart of the City since 1832. Flexible event space for conferences, meeting
(6)

Based in the heart of the City, ideally positioned just 5 minutes walk from Bank and Liverpool Street stations and close to many other transport links, is the City of London Club. According to its first members, the Club offered ‘a Place of Useful Resort’ to those of ‘known respectability’ in the City. Since 1832, important City figures such as the first Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel and the

original Rothschild family have used the Club to relax in good company and comfortable, elegant surroundings. Our impressive heritage is matched by our excellent range of facilities. We provide everything you would expect for modern events, conferences and meetings in the most elegant setting you will find in the City and you are not required to be a member to book. Our event spaces can accommodate groups of all sizes, from a small business meeting for 2, dinner up to 100 and up to 300 people for a drinks reception, intimate wedding reception and bedrooms.

Our main clock located at the middle of the stairs has a thermometer and barometer incorporated which was made by L. Cassella’s company for the City of London Club.

This company became scientific instrument makers to the Admiralty and Government of North America in 1856, and to the East India Company and the Board of Trade in 1860 positioning at the zenith of meteorological instruments making during the Victorian period.

L. Cassella is one of the few companies of this period that still remains in existence today, it continued to provide meteorological instruments throughout much of the 20th Century but the focus of the business has since diversified into environmental sampling and monitoring products

Our historic Drawing Room is presided over by a portrait of one of the Club’s famous members, the Duke of Wellington.

The Drawing Room has a well-deserved reputation as a brilliant venue for a lively cocktail party. The Duke himself, while not much of a gourmet, was known for his love of fine wine, so we think he would approve.

Take a step back into our history! On Wednesday 29th February 1832 the City of London Club was formed at the George and Vulture Tavern. John Masterman Esqre. was in the Chair and remained Chairman for 26 years until 1858. At the time the Club was formed he worked for and became a director of Masterman, Peters, Mildred and Company who were London bankers. In 1841 he was elected as one of four Members of Parliament for the City of London and held the seat until 1857 when he stood down from the House of Commons. His portrait dominates the Smoking Room, pictured here with one of the Club’s original ballot boxes. #History #LondonHistory #cityoflondonclub #privatemembersclub #cityoflondon #London
