The year was 1875 when a Club for professionals of London was first proposed. The beginning, for what became The London Club started in an area that locals referred to as “Whiskey Row” on King Street across from the Covent Garden Market.
In 1879, a Charter was issued from Queen’s Park to nine named individuals to incorporate the London Club. Its first president was Daniel Macfie and shares were sold at $50.00 each. With its list of sixty-two members in 1882, The London Club was settled in a Queen Anne Style building located on Queens Ave.
An important and historical landmark in the city of London, the London Club building and its valued membership, both hold important positions in the city’s history and within the hearts of many of its leading citizens over the past century.
We welcome you to experience the fascinating history of the Club by walking through its vaulted hallways and passages of time. The London Club has always played an important role in the city’s life and its members continue to make significant contributions to the business and political activity of London. In more than 140 years, this membership trait has only become more pronounced.
