1866 – Whitehall Clubhouse, 47 Parliament St., London

The Whitehall Club opened in early 1866, was designed as an Italianate palazzo, with an interior more modelled after the fashionable English country houses of the day. Many of these interiors exist today but is now a parliamentary research library. The original membership market was the largest group of affluent individuals with disposable income in the Westminser of 1860s.

This new association has no political character, but is chiefly composed of the leading engineers, contractors, and other men of business having frequent occasion to resort to the neighbourhood of the Houses of Parliament and of the Government offices in Whitehall.

The Club folded in 1920, with its membership merging into the St. Stephen’s Club. Grade II listed.
